#BrownCarGuy – News, Views & Reviews!
Changing words like ‘fat’, ‘ugly’, ‘black’ in Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book is ridiculous. What are we saying about society today, and what are we doing to our children? I couldn’t resist a rant on this.
We were told by Transport for London that less than 200,000 cars would be affected in London by the ULEZ expansion, turns out the real number is MUCH higher!
I don’t normally commute on public transport these days (I work from home). But as Conference Coordinator for the Proptech Show in Angle the last couple of days, I was taking the London Underground into town in rush hour.

The anti-car march continues – from London to Scotland to other parts of the world, this is getting very depressing for car lovers.
A couple of weeks ago, SNP’s Net Zero Minister, Michael Matheson, said that the Scottish government is looking to cut down car usage by 20% by 2030. He went further, and this is also in his Strategic Transport Report, that the era of catering for unconstrained growth in private car use is well and truly over. WHAT?!
So a Muslim in the UK, a Jew in America and a Christian in Holland walk into a YouTube video and… uh oh!!
