@david I might be missing something, but I have no idea what website you are complaining about.
I initially assumed you had trouble with a Mastodon server.
Good that you have worked round it.
Oh, Drax. Very Bond.

@Hossenfeffer And finally, Londoners who now need a <15 year old petrol car, to replace their 16 year old one, can have I gather £2000 toward it as scrappage, funded by the people who get cleaner air out of it, their wider neighbours.
Occasional visitors are asked not to be mucky, but if they insist, can pay.
Frequent visitors - well yes, action indicated.
@Hossenfeffer Barcelona has one. We drove a far from new SLK into there. (We don't live in London, either)
It required registration with an automatic system, in English, and a e5 fee.
Nuisance, but it is now recognised as compliant not just in Barcelona, but throughout Spain.
That's an area of nuisance in England, that this is multiplying effort, and an incompetent and uncaring central gov isn't coordinating it.
@Hossenfeffer vehicle purchase decisions involved would be an earlier buying of a less old car, or not a LandRover Defender, Aston Martin DB5, old Diesel etc.
Petrol newer than 16 years old, diesel newer than 5y, generally.
Not, generally, of ordering a new VW ID.3 (I drove into the dealer, said "I'd like that one" drove it home, but if I'd made a specification it would have taken much of a year to arrive.
But if I had, I'd have an order form, and IIUC, would have been exempt from ULEZ charge!
@Hossenfeffer It'll affect around 10 000 000 people, I think.
The effect is better air to breath and less illness caused.
If you were to tell them you were going to improve their air, but you'd decided to give them 5 years notice rather than one year, I think stepping back quickly out of reach would bd wise.
The effects are of course incremental.
Is this a new thing?
The MOT was introduced last century, I forget when it changed from "not a smokescreen" to limited exhsust emissions. But, no.
@david @AcesFullOfKings Care to give any detail at all of your computer, operating system, Web browser?
Have you tried another device?
There are specific client programs - apps - for this as well.
@Hossenfeffer @Emperor is 5 years practical with a 5 year election cycle?
Are you calling for no detail of any plan to be adjustable in less than 5 years?
When we're the ULEZ plans, in some form, published, please?
@Oneeightnine @mackwinston
Shares enough sponsors and characteristics for the deprecatory simile to be very apt, I think. NSIT and so on. Why do you differ?
@Lemmylaugh @Emperor
The tire companies researched and innovated for EV tyres, and that reduces shedding.
@Blackmist @ChromeSkull
Zoes have been around for a while.
Were the cheaper cars not the older ones?
@Blackmist @mondoman712
It isn't a ban, there are huge numbers of them, of which less than a tenth are new any year.
That tenth of new car buyers can keep last year's car, or buy a second hand car, but these are new car buyers, they'll buy a new EV, mostly, or their firm will.
2,3,4...10 owners down the line, look forward to a used EV coming your way, a couple...10 years after no new petrol cars are made.
@Patch @Hogger85 It is going to be a standard need at holiday and break places.
