Battery buses are the one that amazes me at the moment. Incredible things going on.

I still want to beat anyone who proposes battery trains rather than electrification with an iron bar though

But yeah, the main reason to push H2 is that everything else cuts the oil companies out of the loop.

There's battery HGVs with decent range and service areas are begining to install HGV chargers. Which really should kill off H2 HGVs entirely.

Ghent?

Which in Europe is 5/29 countries... Which brings me to my next point: justifying increased defence investment to your taxpayer when -in Europe- most of that will go to German, French, British, Italian & Swedish primes. Sure, start ups & SMEs in other countries support the supply chain, but still.

The entire local government reforms are going to be crap and I suitable because they are unimaginative

Longer version of the problem, if anyone has any thoughts I'm all ears. We *do* have a plumber coming in a week but it's bloody cold *now*

It’s not quite the right fit for this question but “open source fae” reminded me of my recent spurt of curmudgeonly joy in revisiting the work of the aptly named Steve Roud and his work “The English Year” about English folk traditions.

Sounds no fun at all

Probably now need to bleed the radiators as they likely have a load of air in them. May need to cycle through bleed-represurise-bleed

I just think Americans should stop having opinions on the food of other nations, especially as the things they seem to take the piss out of Britain for are always in the realm of poverty-meals.

Happy birthday!
