Yip you couldn't make it up. Do they not realise how utterly ridiculous that sounds.

It's been cut short, - he then looks down and is shocked when he realises he is standing in water.

It really gets my goat when you read rubbish, trying to be polite,like this diatribe about diesels. I was a lorry driver for 40 odd years, so must have breathed more than my fair share of ‘pollutants’ into my lungs. And is there nothing that diesel does any good. I hope the shopkeepers realise they are going to go down the drain when people like me stop shopping in the city centre and anywhere that the powers that be try to charge you for ,or make it more awkward to get to in our private cars. Perhaps the first month if everyone kept away from these draconian measures, they would then come up with another way of saying,oh, perhaps it’s not to bad to allow diesel cars into the city. Clowns at large.

I can look out of my front window and see two diesel Bristol City Council vans, one brand new this year. A case of ‘do as I say, not as I do!
