Sorry Ewen, I did not realise you voted "Green"
You are, obviously, right. There is absolutely no point in engaging in debate, discussion or even argument on the subject of anything involving the environment, despite my career of over 34 years dealing with it.
I therefore submit to your far superior knowledge, after all.....You voted Green.
That's me done, lost, indeed shattered. Tail well between my legs, so what it now for me. I guess back to the countryside and wildlife I love, with stunning views of..........Wind Turbines.
I guess I will learn to love them, when they are level with the ground.

so,why does the government not talk to the car manufacturers.Back in the 90's,main dealers LPG'd cars at the factory,so why can we not do it again?I drive a diesel,but,will change for a petrol,if and when it is required.Petrol will go up,as will diesel to force diesel cars off the road.So go to LPG,but,the price will go up wont it.The government could lower the duty on petrol to get people to swap,but,thats too easy.54p in every litre,is tax,so,why not,halve it,to get people to change?The government want all this doing by us,so,they must do their bit,by helping us all out.
If this will help, I did have a petrol Freelander and got an LPG conversion, so dual fuel. However, because the HSE, etc., requirements on LPG, there was no LPG on the island so it was only useful when I went on mainland trips. That was okay, but at that time, there were very few LPG filling stations on the roads I had to use. When that car went to its rest, I needed a car urgently and all I could get was a diesel and, having had one, I'm reluctant to change.
I don't live or work in a city but I do volunteer as a first aider and safety marshal in remote locations. I can do over 800 miles from Friday morning to Sunday night and have to have an off-road capable vehicle. I've not been able to find an affordable hybrid/EV that can deal with that.
I fully appreciate that most people live in urban environments and do sympathise with the air pollution problem (used to work in London). But that is no excuse to crucify rural dwellers. I'll happily use park and ride where available (and affordable) if I have to go into a city centre.
