MPN, cheeky, and which part of your tax pounds goes to Defence?

Melchett, they'll find a local supermarket offering free charging and rotate the fleet through that. Or, as my last Works Services Tech proposed, use our standby generator and come off grid.

MPN, I use an electric bike and many in our village use mobility buggies for shopping. Just wish we could use golf buggies as in the Prisoner. Saw a French electric buggy, very snazzy but iro £20k

PN ... you may be surprised to know that we do make a Defence contribution, and have for centuries

Now a Sapper sub-unit of Royal Monmouthshire RE (Militia) ... http://www.army.mod.uk/royalengineers/units/28725.aspx

Many members of the Jersey Field Squadron have served in the various sandy places ... and for all I know some are doing so today.

I think that may be suffient Tread Deviation for today

PN The vehicles in the Prisoner were not electric golf buggies, but Mini Mokes: same engine and transmission as a mini, in a different wrapper.
