Subsidy for electric cars

[Nick]

Letter from the Torygraph

SIR – Am I alone in finding it strange that the Government is encouraging me to buy an electric car while preventing me from buying a 100W incandescent light bulb?

Makes perfect sense to Lord Mandleson.

Call me cynical but in my opinion I reckon its because the lightbulb manufacturers didnt pass Mandy a 'brown envelope'.

'Pass Mandy a brown envelope'. 

A euphemism that doesn't deserve a number.

I was referring to the traditional way of handing over a 'bung' Darwin but if you are going to take it a different way who am I to stop you.

You may rest assured that any way Mandy takes it is not acceptable to me.

Excellent!

Fear not, the wonderfully reliable Daliy Mail's Science bloke has opined that in 2012 a solar event will render most network electrical outlets defunct.

Cool, I know the old T110 will still start on a kick (or two) - progress...
