Saw one yesterday, sitting on the end, on it's own and not plastered with logo's from the local Nissan emporium. Who has the spare cash? Only when I got nearer I saw the logo........Falkirk Council. Councils...strapped for cash, pleading poverty splash £30K (ish) on a battery car. I rest my case. Reply to this message | Report message

Isn't that a shot in the foot for Falkirk Council ? If all Councils switched to EV and central Government lose the tax revenues from fuel would the LA's central Government tax contributions go up or down ? Last edited by: gmac on Sun 22 Jul 12 at 22:22 Reply to this message | Report message

If one of these cars got stuck on a level crossing, would they have to suspend services due to there being a Leaf on the line? Reply to this message | Report message       1

Might it be the wrong kind of Leaf ? Reply to this message | Report message       1

Sorry to plug myself, but I was positive that my original joke would spark this response on the current thread. I knew it wouldn't fall flat. I didn't think that it would generate so many earthy comments, though. Please don't re-fuse to carry on. Keep the discussion live and I'll promise to stay neutral. :-) Reply to this message | Report message

Are you sure you're not pulling the plug Londoner ? That might lead to a -'ve response ! Last edited by: gmac on Mon 23 Jul 12 at 00:25 Reply to this message | Report message

I took my car to a drive in movie. It seemed appropriate. They were showing "The Charge of the Light Brigade". But there was some problem when we got there, so we had to see a repeat of "Fanny By Gaslight" instead. Reply to this message | Report message

A persistent joy rider stole one and crashed it, putting it on its roof. When caught, he blamed his probation officer; Apparently he'd told him to turn over a new leaf. Reply to this message | Report message
