    Petrol and Diesel Cars banned by 2040

    The life of a battery is 8-10 years or 80-100k miles. The average price of a new battery is £8-10k on a cheaper electric car, tesla up to 20k once you pay for fitting and recycling of the old battery. So in less than 8 years the car is worthless, as whoever has it has a bill of anywhere of...

    Petrol and Diesel Cars banned by 2040

    The batteries still degrade quickly so someone is left with a massive bill, are service and replacement parts significantly cheaper? Without sounding cynical I would bet that the free road tax you get now won't exsist if everyone has a electric car, that's a huge hole in tax income if it was...

    Petrol and Diesel Cars banned by 2040

    no idea. It was a few months back when I read it so I cant remember all the details, just that you had to drive 70k miles in a new car today to have the same carbon footprint as it takes just to build the batteries in the electric cars today.

    Petrol and Diesel Cars banned by 2040

    There was a article I read a few months back about most electric cars today including the tesla, and you would have to drive a new vw golf petrol blue motion for 70k miles to create the same levels of pollution just to build the batteries required in electric cars. Its was to do with the mining...

    Its like 2008 never happened....

    They couldn't raise interest rates, it would cripple the housing market. The amount of young people I know who are mortgaged up to their eye balls, some just to get on the property ladder but a lot instead of starting at the bottom buying a do me upper getting some equity then buying the house...

    Paying for ST in monthly installments

    I did the monthly option online, I didn't get a response via text or email like it said it would, I gave it a week thinking it was probably a slow response as my account showed the season ticket was bought but on hold. In the end i called the ticket office up and they couldn't see my application...

    Time to end the TV licence?

    To me its pretty simple, Scrap the TV licence, and let the bbc finance the TV and radio programmes like all the others channels through optional subscription and advertising. instead of basically having a compulsory tax. no one can moan then if they feel people are paid to much who work there...

    Godiva

    I didn't think the bars were that busy except when the cast was on the Friday night. At most I queued 5 mins. But I do notice everyone just seems to walk straight to the middle of the bar and the sides are either empty or maybe 1 or 2 deep. Regarding trouble no problems on the Friday or Sunday...

    Kit Launch Q and A Match Thread

    I don't get the moaning on the price to be honest, football shirts have always been a premium price and they haven't really changed in price since the 90s. When i was a kid in the 90s it was 30 quid for kids, 40 quid for adults back then, So its basically a 5 quid rise in 20 years. I like the...

    ST sales

    I have caved in and got my season ticket. I was dead set against it, but I know if I didn't renew I would end up buying tickets on the day and cost me more in the long run. Plus what else am I going to do on a Saturday, DIY round the house, or shopping with the mrs? no thanks.

    Dont get the fuss. its being built on the same site, the whole stadium has been rebuilt over the 80s and 90s so it's not like it's the original stadium anyway. Reminds me of trigger and his broom.

    Had over a week off the beer

    I used to drink just to get as pissed as possible when I was younger, just hammer back pint after pint of carling (wouldn't touch the crap now) and could drink on a work night no hangover the next day. Now I prefer to just have a few decent beers/ales, grab 3/4 bottles from beer gonzo in...
