    You sound as wise as an old guy who bought petrol from me who told me petrol price rises didn't affect him, he only ever bought £20 at a time.
  • I assume she does this kerb clouting in Reading ! can you try and constrain her to this locality as we are only in the next County. Do not recommend letting her drive on the Costa Blanca as many roads do not have kerbs, just so§§ing great ditches which you often see cars upside down in.

    More likely than your previous claim about electric cars.

    Have you seen the sales figures of EV in the UK?
    On average this year 1,000 a month are sold.

    In comparison Ford sell 10,000 Fiestas a month.

    I think the Russian issue is definately a factor. Russia exports 2 things, natural gas and refined crude.

    NATO decided to put sanctions on Russia but this would result in retaliatory sanctions by Russia on what they will import and export to the EU.

    How do you ensure that Russia still exports natural gas post sanction? You basically diminish the income from crude by flooding the market.

    There is currently an over supply of crude because America is pumping out too much oil from fracking and Saudi arabia, Iraq and the gulf states refuse to reduce output.

    This is done so that Russia will still export natural gas to EU after sanctions are imposed. Because Russia can't rely on crude.

    Nothing else?
