A matter of definition

Resistance is 4x4 futile

'...we need to be encouraged to stop using our cars'

The point has been made by others, but I'm guessing as I read this in Ross-on-Wye that this 'we' don't get much beyond Islington/Westminster/Fleet St/Canary Wharf/where Ken taxi (what does he use?) rides to & fro, and where the BBC meets their mates from the preceding places?

And while I'm here I just wonder how an electric car prevents congestion?

Or indeed, how a petrol car that does, say 10 miles a day, is worse for the environment than an electric (I do believe there is still an exhaust pipe. It is just in another place) or hybrid that buzzes about all day, emitting away.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
