I told you so (3) Following has just flooded into my inbox quote: "Dear <redacted>, From Monday 2 March, TfL roads in central London will be changing their speed limit to 20mph. This is to improve safety for all road users, as if someone is hit at 30mph, they're five times more likely to die than if...

Despite opposition (surprisingly from inside the JEC!) I've been lobbying for proper recognition of lower polluting fuels over the past year. All to deaf ears as far as LPG and Hydrogen fuel cell is concerned. And for noting that latest research shows diesel particulates are top of the carcnogenic p...
