    Default Good for a laugh

    Daily here in Oz I find on the net bits coming out about the UK gov and the plans.
    This is not a political thread, far from it, it is about the laughs I get daily from some of the comments.

    Today was such a day, you may have heard it.

    By 2040 you will all be either driving an EV or walking or riding your bike!!!!

    You will no longer be drinking milk, those cows produce Methane you know,. and no more meat either, but it will be the cost that stops meat eaters.

    Oh yes and heat pumps, wonderful things, 60,000 being installed last year.
    Only need 1.5 million a year to maybe each the goal.
    And of course you will all be so rich the cost will not bother you.

    This script writer could win comedian of the year with a bit of luck!!!
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Anyone who fits a heat pump unless it is a new build in the UK needs to read the small print on how efficient they are NOT.
    The days of the EV are already numbered, people simply do not want them. A family friend had a Tesla company car, hated it and after a year with it now drives a Hybrid. Several years ago it was LPG cars were the in thing they are not collectibles.

    It is with great sadness that I have to mention the loss of a few local businesses as a result of Rachel Reeves' recent budget announcement. A local bra manufacturer has gone bust, a submarine company has gone under, a manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation, a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers and a company supplying paper for origami enthusiasts has folded. The local strip club has gone tits up, Interflora is pruning its business and Dyno-rod has gone down the drain. The saddest one though is the ice cream van man (Alan) was found dead covered in nuts and raspberry sauce. He couldn't take it anymore and topped himself.

    Happy daze John in Oz.

    It's a laugh yes but unfortunately it's so near the truth to what is happening here in the u.k after Rachel from accounts budget.

    Had a call from a mate of mine in UK last night.
    WE grew up together and both went to sea about the same time.

    If even half of what he told me is true then you lot over there have a problem, said your PM is a bloody Communist!!

    Cars are to be banned from Central London he tells me, only taxi, bus or delivery vehicles allowed.
    April one, big rise in power prices and council taxes, of course it will be April fools day the, he tells me N. Farage will clean up in local elections later this year.

    Any comments ???
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    You must put it all in or else people will get the wrong impression. Only Camels and Donkeys will be allowed to use the roads in London, Chaff will be distributed by the Council for the use of.

    Ps. This is not a political statement.

    James, how did she know we had a wizard of stuff all in our feral parliament??

    But the picture is a good description of our state gov, as useful as a deaf man in Specsavers.
