plague of locusts raping the countryside - a whopping extra 140 million people there since 1970

Strange, I just looked and the us population in 70 was @ 203M, today 347M and they all went to the countryside?

@Anno if you want to be a prig be my guest.

 

Do your survey using any HGV and those shock horror statistics will never be the same.

 

It's called aerodynamics and a hgv is as aerodynamic as a house brick, like those cars you drove back in your back in my day golden era or current defender and it'll look like a killing field.

 

It's also why dirty cars don't self clean whilst driving on the motorway, the angles of the design create a boundary layer.

 

So you're still murdering bugs, just using air to crush them for the next bird meal.

Wrong thread Gareth.

I'm guessing you need to ask a friendly mod to shift for you.

No I need taking off a very old naughty step, I didn't start this particular game today.

 

Someone else must be very bored or heat stroked grasping at headlines, as every hgv I've had deliveries from looked like a bug plague pit.

See I don't buy the aerodynamics bit.... every car I have had has within a percent or 2 given me the same MPG - I am fixed and set in my ways so tend to go for the same type - size, similar shape, and engine size. Not Landrovers but family cars.

 

Improved aerodynamics will give me a better MPG? but I am not seeing that, aerodynamic changes are not as dramatic as you are wanting to make out.

They all went to what was once countryside, some to what we call towns and cities, sometimes two neighbouring towns grow so big they meet in the middle, forming one big concrete tumour

Not when you're average care weighs more every year and just gets fat.

 

And what your oldest car you've driven, pre 2000/90/80s?.

 

With every upgrade giving worse mpg, Corsa b 850kg, now f at 1100kg.

 

90s was about the time car companies really embraced computer modelling more due to falling costs of computing and EU emissions euro 1 far example forced them to stop making boxes and went curvy.

Wrong thread, also prig is an insult and means the following -' a self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if they are superior to others.' I am not usually overly moralistic, i am also rarely superior to others - just you.

Got to remember his attention span, he'll be dead by the time it hits critical levels rather than just "we need to act now"... so if he dismisses them all he doesn't have to use his limited brain power to worry about it.

 

Quite. What else is any honest, self-respecting dictator meant to do? If you can't intimidate, silence, or lock up your dissenters then what's the point of having all that power?
