Spartacus

This just came up in my feed https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/food/2026334/why-supermarket-shoppers-are-turning What a great idea

Okay So in the middle of a cost of living crisis, when businesses are having an unprecedented rise in employers ni contributions, that will have unpredicted impacts on consumer habits and potentially push the UK into at worst, a recession, at best tightening of belts, you want to add additional costs on local businesses and if they go under that's their issue ? Maybe you don't need to graft to put food on your families table but our lovely shopkeepers and staff do. Ar times you're as sensitive as Trump and Vance!

Are you now claiming to be a rebel without a clue ?

Not your Harley fat boy again Such a noisy beast

Ahhh so you were the problem driving through it every day 😅

In a few years we won't be allowed to buy new ICE vehicles, electric only therefore that alone will massively reduce carbon emissions so the argument that a CPZ is there to reduce carbon emissions in itself should lead to removing CPZs when cars are mostly electric Or do you disagree @malumbu?

It's been 4 years, your concerns aren't important to me , get on with your life and stop trying to fix an injustice Blimey mal, good job you aren't involved in the horizon or similar scandals

I've always got the moves Just 70s style dad dancing sadly 😅

Who the hell is Alice Sorry Sue, was typing in the move

@alice why stop.at products, netflix, Disney plus, and other streaming services, McDonalds, pret, Starbucks, delivery apps, uber, so more "services" that have American roots My thoughts are if the masses silently boycot American firms in the UK,it might start to send a message The revolution starts here !

Shall we open a book Evens : a few residents in one or two streets wants it, and to stop parking spilling into other streets it will be implemented in all 2:1 : a load of invalid responses will be rejected leaving only ones wanting a CPZ 10:1 : only some streets want and will get it 10,000:1 : the CPZ will be rejected The tic tac toe man says "it's a single horse race"

@malumbu Diesel and petrol taxis are still on the streets of London, they are being phased out when they reach a certain age, to be replaced by electric ones but still over 50% of the fleet is not there yet. Buses are not all electric yet and the hybrid ones only use electric motors when they sometimes move below a certain speed, but often idle when they regulate their service pumping fumes out.

Is it just the ULEZ ? Two of the biggest polluters have been going green, with black cab taxis and buses moving towards electric. I personally suspect that the removal of diesel from both fleets has had an impact on air quality and it may well he that the ULEZ has had a large impact, but along side it being introduced, other changes wete occurring.

Not according to this article, a number are still built to this day on a ladder type chassis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body-on-frame Admittedly, apart from.a handful of special British cars, most are made elsewhere in the world. As you say, at least be accurate 🤣 However back to the discussion, yes SUV type vehicles do seem to be becoming the norm, just look in any car park, and a lot is driven by marketing and lifestyle selling.

This in a discussion about a CPZ, in an area you don't even live in !!
