Van Hierarchy

  1. This is a question that I was going to embellish with nonsense from my Tornton trip. The hotel (doss house) was a haven for van drivers, but I will just ask the question:

    Now just a question for van lovers. Is the Hierarchy as I thought?
    1. Diesel
    2. Petrol
    3. Electric
    And only diesel van drivers are allowed at the top table in a motorway services?
     
  2. Diesel should have been banned a decade ago, like smoking indoors in a public place.
     
  3. A decade ago the Tory government announced zero road tax for some and £25 road tax for a great many diesel cars.

    How times change!

  4. I believe that not many years back diesel was considered to be cleaner than petrol, as it emitted less hydrocarbons. Then they discovered particulates. They also did away with lead in petrol as it was unhealthy, but replaced it with a known carcinogen. :(
