'Yah boo, you can't fly for a squillion hours in an SEP using no fuel like you can in a glider'

Of course what gets conveniantly ignored is that (for those of us that fly throughout the winter months) for every good flight in a glider (& I have had many) a lot end in a short or slightly extended circuit & the tug that towed you, or the winch that threw you, skywards used quite a lot of fuel or LPG.
