Useless idea! Don't worry about any of that, your way of life will be totally inconsequential for the 'greater good' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's those that are middle aged and have another 20 - 30 years to go, before shaking off the mortal coil, are the ones that will really be hit, having known past freedoms.

The world doesn't work for the working masses and if things carry on the way they're going, at some point it'll all end up like other great civilizations in history, where the elites of society take too much from the bottom and insurrection and societal collapse follows. Sadly, true. History proves it? Shame that 10 people are allowed to decimate the rest, all based on a desire to make more money to add to their billions? The deranged are fully in charge by pushing the agenda via the back door using lobbyists? 3 hours ago, 12gauge82 said: Don't worry about any of that, your way of life will be totally inconsequential for the 'greater good' Confined to camps that have an active cleansing regime maybe?

Although if you do watch season 2 there are things in 3 that will have you scratching your head. I think I would go for the former 😀 I just know that each week I shut the living room door with a Do Not Disturb order having been issued, a big smile on my face at the opening music. I laughed, I had the occasional wet eye and more. It was what TNG deserved. And there you go - PigeonWatch drift has hit 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 In Harrow they are redeveloping the old Kodak Factory Site. On one part they have already built over a thousand flats with no parking. That the official policy now. No parking they stupidly believe will mean no cars. Its social engineering. They don't give people the option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 @Vince Green Save on Energy - but I bet the common parts will be expensive with all that landscaping - and no car parking at all as you say. There is an ASDA showing on the map but can't actually see it - I wouldn't like to get a weeks worth of shopping - and it is aimed at "families" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Plan shows "future energy centre" - what are the odds it is a waste incinerator, bur no one would buy if this were publicised. When I first moved to Manchester in the early 70's I worked on a similar scheme in Moss Side. Total failure now demolished.

discobob Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 "proposed school" - or rather indoctrination center - if it ever happens...... And the Irony - proposed future development - looks like they are knocking down the Halfords that is already there I also wonder if there is going to be a shop to buy bread in the development - somewhere for people to queue up at in the glorious future that is beconning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 On second thoughts there does look to be some parking infrastructure - but you can bet these are the most expensive apartments - or the first phase - car club scheme for the plebs (and starting at @£500k!!!) - strange how all the blurb goes on about investment opportunities as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part that has been finished seems to be mostly social housing. In that part of London the rent would be about £2000 a month on one of those flats. Anybody who could afford that wouldn't choose to live there When they talk about "investment " they are saying in a roundabout way that the council will rent the flat off you because they are desperate for housing stock. Also don't get carried away believing all that landscaping is ever going to happen. That's just what they put on the sales brochure.

Imagine if there was some sort of large battery, just parked on your drive, ready to dispense 3kW for a couple of minutes... Also this peak grid kettle demand thing (The ad breaks in the Morecombe and Wise show, etc) long ago ceased being a matter of concern for National Grid...

Trouble is - that isn't the reality - very little EV's have that functionality (Leaf comes to mind but only with certain equipment which is expensive and only if you are accepted onto a trial) - a few more have V2L which means you can plug something into the vehicle - like the kettle - but it would have to be one of the low powered ones I suspect....
