      Memorable for him pissing off Roger Clarke by missing an exit. Rog was not happy.

              And meanwhile the Chinese open hundreds more coal fired powerstations: they produce more CO2 in ten years than the UK produced since 1750.

                    Loving the units in this one...
                    tonnes, density in kg/l, area in km2, result in inches.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
