The Retirement Thread

I read an article some time ago. The ones reviewed are capable of crazy 0-60 times.

Most electric vehicles seem to have lively acceleration.

Just had an email - it seems my "audio-visual commodity" will be delivered today. In my day we used to call them "speakers".

Still, that means a nice set of expensive Presonus studio monitors mwill arrive and I can spend a pleasant afternoon setting them up in the home studio.

Don't bother.... no really please don't bother. My eyes couldn't cope with such a sight.

The house over the back from me was put on the market at the start of the week and I see it's under offer already. They are going within a few days at the moment!

Does that mean slow or fast?

Thanks for all the links. Excuse my ignorance. In ALDI car park yesterday I nearly got run over by a Nissan Leaf - all electric, doesn't make a sound. It's not the first I've been surprised by an electric car but the closest I've come to being hit. I don't feel it was my fault as I was simply ambling across to the car with my shopping. Driver's responsibility for due care. I've always felt e-cars should make a noise.

Given how fast a motorcycle can be I wonder if they will be required by law to make a noise?

It's noticeable around here just how many caravan parks are applying to expand their business, some wanting to double the capacity they have at the moment. That's all well and good, but they don't have to pay community tax, and can sign on at the NHS doctors as temporary residents putting even more strain on the Dr's surgery than we already have. Its already impossible to get appointments, with even more people here god knows what we are going to do and God help anyone that has life threatening illnesses.

Yesterday I was overtaken by a very fast motorcyclist. We all know the sort, disappeared in an instant.

As he/she flashed by I was struck by a random thought. When the sale of petrol and diesel cars is banned in 2030 what happens with motorcycles? I can't imagine an electric motorbike being possible. Is this going to be the end of such machines?

Electric motorbikes are out there. It's odd as they go past with no engine sound though.

Wish by some miracle Covid would bloody disappear and they could all jet off to their holidays abroad again and leave us in peace! Stopped to talk to a local dog walker I know and he said even mid week some of the local haunts were jam packed with streams of cars parked up on little single track roads and farmers barely able to get passed to attend to their livestock.

Snowdonia is being inundated with people all blocking the roads so that locals can't get through, and the piles of rubbish being left by them is disgusting

I understand. I think most women would feel the same and swoon over such a magnificent sight.

Yes, it's a cross we have to bear.
Worth it though.
