    We had to feed next door’s kid one day because of some family emergency.

    “How many fish fingers do you want?”

    “Two”

    Sits down, eats one.

    “You said you wanted two…”

    “I only ever eat one but my mum always puts two out because she thinks it looks mean if she only gives me one.”



  • The main issue in the push for electric cars, is that we’re pretending that we can fix things with no lifestyle changes.

    And for the richer people, that’s probably true. But there’s a big chunk of people for whom the electric car revolution means no more personal transport.

    I accept that, but we need to invest in public transport exponentially more than we are doing. It needs subsidising up the wazoo so people outside the inner-city bubble can still get around. By just pretending that electric cars will reach affordable levels for the poorest, we’re inviting trouble further down the line when they can’t use their petrol cars any more.
