@jimsterFTO@Alastair095@evmanuk OK, so I work with low income households. There are govt schemes/loans available but they seem complicated and promoted poorly. With your knowledge, is it possible for low incomes to go EV or what needs to be done to make this happen? And can any of you help? Serious question
@avandyc@evmanuk@Alastair095 I don't think anyone's disputing that EV is the way forward. This crisis right here right now is about a national driver shortage. Panic buying at the pumps just means that key workers can't get to work and that affects us all.
@ljmabon Hear hear! Tried saying this to someone last night and the #ev men launched into one. Yes it's the way forward but that's not what this crisis is about. Key workers won't be able to get to work now so it affects us all
Seeing a few smug tweets from owners of electric cars + heat pumps. Zip it. Many people have petrol cars or gas boilers because they don't have the cash to switch, and/or don't have time to project-manage changing things. Scoffing at folk like they're idiots is not helpful.
A quick message to the publicly smug electric car owners at this time. Well done, it’s the future.
But remember, there are an awful lot of people who aren’t as fortunate as you and don’t have the means to change cars, let alone to an electric one 🤷♂️
Had a week off work, hadn't watched the news. Went to put some petrol in the car so I can get to work on Monday and WTF! All the stations in my town are closed or diesel only. #panicbuying a*seholes f**ked it up for those who actually need to drive 😡😡😡 #petrolshortage
@NuneatonNews Bit messed up! A serious assault now looks like a public marriage proposal! Did the bashful one say yes? Sort yourselves out @covtelegraph
@richporter68@PeteSlasher@dpakman Think you'll find we're 2 liberal Europeans who actually know that little league isn't a big thing where we're from. It's not taught in schools, it has no mainstream coverage, it's a minor sport. Wind it back mate, jeez
@PeteSlasher@dpakman Very true, we don't! But then other countries don't play little league. That's a stateside thing, so don't go dragging the rest of the world into it
@treehugger66@asexuality Exactly this! I'm 42 and ace and only heard about it 2 years ago. Made to feel like I was broken all my life and pumped full of anti depressants to 'treat the problem'. Just gave a talk at work about being an older ace and it went down a storm!
