The Pointless Page

Yes but that suits my circumstances, Kj. If after four years I retire from delivery driving, I can simply hand the car back and walk away and just keep the towcar.

But if you need to keep working to supplement your pension.....what then?

I do hope you have some sort of back up plan!

Hi everyone, there's a good new discussion started on EV here looking at the pros and cons. A polite reminder that this discussion is going a little bit off topic in that the recent conversation regarding EVs seems like it has a point rather than being pointless!  

Seems pretty pointless at present to me Ro 

From where I'm sitting it appears to be a vehicle with insufficient range for the task in hand that cannot be afforded and is likely to be of minimal value at the end of the exercise. As I read elsewhere a day or so ago "un imbécile et son argent sont bientôt séparés" so ultimately pointless.

Read in the paper this morning. Lidl are trialing naked 😱onions in some of their stores. The natural packaging has been removed and the plastic variety added. Plus the price has been doubled. So not terribly good for your pocket or the environment.

Also they are sold in twos, so if you are only going to use one, more packaging may be required to stop the other stinking out the fridge.

Seems fairly pointless to me. How long does it take to peel an onion anyway? The time saving is massive.😉

This morning I'll go to a market stall and buy some Seville oranges for marmalade, no packaging on the stall. 

It's pointless blaming the consumer for plastic waste, even charging extra for coffee cups, when in fact it's the supermarkets and manufacturer are the ones to blame. Why should a vegetable or fruit with an inedible skin be covered in plastic, but when you ask them why they blame the consumer.

At least in our fruit and veg shop all the produce are natural.

Bring back the string back 

Check out operator in Tesco, maybe, using the Shogun to commute! The Shogun might not be viable as a delivery vehicle but a short commute to work there and back should not be a problem and it would give it the necessary daily run! If it's only a few miles, the cost will be minimal. So that may not be an entirely pointless future prospect!
