Plenty of food in the shops as well, you want to stock up, if we can’t get British food in our supermarket then you will have no fucking chance, you’ll have to live on Dago tea. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a strike amongst the drivers carrying dangerous loads and they tried to stop all fuel transports. I'm obviously not sure, but the same must have happened in other countries for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw anything here.....but saying that, the Spanish striking and the Spanish working are pretty much indistinguishable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This has come from Europe again so will affect you as well @XTreme wont affect me as i'm too tight to buy a new car From 6 July 2022, all newly launched cars will legally have to be fitted with a speed limiter European Commission reached a provisional agreement in 2019 The UK is likely to adopt the new speed limiting rules, even after Brexit The European Commission has reached a provisional agreement that all new vehicles sold in Europe will be fitted with a speed limiter as a legal requirement from 6 July 2022. The 2019/2044 regulation also mandates all new cars that have already launched be fitted with an Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) by 7 July 2024. While it hasn’t been decided, the UK will likely obey the new road safety regulations despite leaving the EU as even after Brexit, the UK has retained most EU laws for new cars. Following this agreement also helps in standardising the car manufacturing process for different markets. Using speed limiters successfully would also be a step forward in developing self-driving cars in the UK. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had our 2008 Citroen for a few years......and no plans to get anything newer. Cos that money could go towards a newer bike......which is far more necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
