Coming from UK, reading these headline and can’t help thinking that another IRA have raised their heads again.
Music (mainly prog rock) and veggie loving, geeky cat butler living in Hertfordshire UK. A lover of all things LOTR (since I first read it over 50 years ago) scifi and what have you. Ex soldier (Royal Artillery) and other trades ;-)
Coming from UK, reading these headline and can’t help thinking that another IRA have raised their heads again.
Loads of the buggers here in Ware/Hertford over the last couple of years.
I’d never seen one until a few years ago, now see them daily.
Radio Paradise have a few streams. Personal favourites are the Rock Mix and for lounging around, reading etc. the Mellow Mix. If you want something a little different then the Global Mix might suit you.
For general day to day listening then the Main Mix covers just about everything. For me personally, I find there’s too much Beatles and Reggae. I can’t stand them. But YMMV.
Although Spotify has some excellent prog playlists, that sodding AI thing pisses me right off (although there may be a way to get rid of that, I’ve got to try it out) I have Amazon Prime so their music service is a bit of a no brainer as it’s cheaper. Not sure if I can tell the difference in audio quality. At 67 and a lifetime of British Army (I was in the Artillery man, play it LOUD!) and working with rock bands, my ears are probably not up to the finer points.
For rock and prog 24/7 then Morow is your friend.
What about Puff the Magic Dragon? Or The Soup Dragon?
How To Train Your Dragon is full of them.
And then there’s Luck Dragons. Or best of all, The Green Dragon in Bywater.
I wouldn’t mind betting there’s an element of truth there. The orange man child would do it out of spite.
We should have gone full metric and adopted the Euro years ago. Then all this bollocks about pints and good old sterling would have been done with.
As usual with UK we do everything half arsed and settle for second best.
Of course they are. As the article.rightly point out, electric vans are too expensive, and charging infrastructure just isn’t there yet. Because the government wanted it all on the cheap and didn’t have a plan.
There will also be a small diehard faction that think it’s not ‘manly’. The sort of people you get (in the states they have guns as well) with their overcompensating enormous pickups.
I’ve just thought of another benefit of electric vehicles, no more drive offs with a tank of fuel at filling stations.
That led me down a rabbit hole of London history :-)
