Our utilities have been privatised for approx. thirty years and now are mostly owned by non-brits or pension funds.
Yep and it's completely shite. It's insane that some faceless twat in a suit can decide "Hmm, I want another mansion" and double our heating bills with the single press of a button.
Yes and if they want to operate here they play by our rules so it's not dangerous like it sounded but it's hardly ideal either
16:28 that guy driving the rally car was the late *Ken Block* - former American professional rally driver. He died on 2 January this year in a snowmobile accident in Utah. The guy on the bike is *Ricky Carmichael* - former American professional motocross and stock car racing driver, and friend of Ken.
Technically, the “fast lane” is actually called the overtaking lane. All lanes have the same speed limit 😏
I was a passenger in the front of a left hand drive car last weekend. I kept going for the brake pedal 😄
Top gear have done a few races where the objective was to slow down. in one case, the end of the track had a river with crocs in it...
That was Ken Block in the rally Subaru
If you privatise do not forget, as well as paying for the utility you have to pay a big whck for profits on top..some who thought that would be cancelled by extra efficiency have been proven very wrong these last years ,
Having worked for British gas there was massive effeciency savings after privitisation.
James Mays had a TV Programme you would love. It was called, 'James May's Toy Stories'. Here are some of his attempts, 1.James May subjects traditional toys to supersize challenges. Here, he attempts to build the longest ever model railway track - a whopping ten miles long. 2. James May attempts to build a Full Size House out of LEGO. 3. James attempts to buils a 3 mile long Scalextrix Track in Surry. There are more but you get the idea. It was a Great Programme. You might be able to get it on CZcams.
all on YT, some updated
"100mph is crazy fast"
Me, a German with my 75hp hatchback on the Autobahn at 100mph: This is too slow, but this car wont go much faster. I really need a new car...
Love your reactions. The clip where Jeremy is a stoker is "Top Gear 1950's"
A race between a steam engine, jaguar xk150 and a Vincent bike.
Modern bike's have electric starters.
Old bike's have a kicksarter, a foot operated lever to spin the engine over to start the motor.
1949 actually, 60 years before 2009.
it was set in 1949 but with a 1952 car, 1952 motorbike and 2008 (yes really) steam loco lol
In regards to starting the motorcycle (or any engine).
it needs to begin spinning, this can be done with a kick, or in more modern engines just an electric motor. Once the engine begins turning it starts the process of bringing fuel and spark into the engine for it to start running on its own
^ This ^
Essentially the kickstart operates the same as an old car's handle start.
Yes, Connor...time to go from 60mph to 0 is almost always included in automotive performance testing. They also test the stopping distance, and even the negative G forces that braking can generate....sometimes.
The thing about the anarchy flag, the guys were challenged to buy a second hand car for use by 17 year olds, the age you can legally start learning to drive in the UK. They were then presented with a series of 17-year-old themed challenges, including packing up after a weekend at a music festival, hence the tents, flags, chairs and other miscellaneous crap in a field.
The night vision picture was from the same challenge which was to sneak the car back into the driveway after coming home later than they should have and to do so as quietly as possible. Richard and Jeremy sabotaged James' stereo system by turning the volume all the way up, fixing it so it would only switch on and off with the ignition and superglued all of the buttons and dials so they couldn't be adjusted again. Jeremy also stole the remote that also controlled the stereo and that was what he used to turn it on and off himself.
You can learn before that on private property and can apply for a provisional at 16
also, disabled 16 year olds can have a full licence.
Connor - when Jeremy refers to 'James's Hotpoint' as he drives off in a very small white, boxy Toyota, with a St Bernard - he's referring to a UK brand of washing machines and other white goods.
The part with James hitting the jump he's being driven by Ken Block, the guy on the bike is Motorcross legend Ricky Carmichael.
(RIP)
Correction, the person on the dirtbike is Ricky Carmichael
@@michaeldecock3952 yep you're right I'm thinking of the other ken block episode.
That will always be my favourite shot in all of TV history, goosebumps every time 👍🏻👌🏻
With the motorcycle, all modern bikes are push button electric start, but the one Hammond was using is a kickstart only, there's a starter pedal that you have to fold out and rapidly push down on with all your weight to spin the engine to start it. Personally I wish more modern bikes had these because I've always had battery issues with my motorcycles and had to jump start them because there's no kickstart.
The correct side for the steering wheel is on the right side of the car, just as driving on the left side of the road is correct.
100% correct. I am forever having to defend myself against brigands and highwayman and it's not like I can brandish my claymore at them from the sinister maniple, is it?
Pagani Zonda R breaking from 125 mph to 0 in 4 seconds.
R.I.P Ken Block. Absolute legend that will be missed, but never forgotten.
16:41
R.I.P Ken Block, you will be missed
Connor, basics are the 1950's period section was the 60th anniversary of "The Festival of Britain" - which was the end of Austerity, the vehicles were a Jaguar XK120, Vincent Black Shadow, and a LNER Peppercorn A1 Pacific (replica). The race was from Kings Cross in London to Waverley in Edinburgh, only using the Motorway (Interstate Highway) when the period substitute of the time was not available.
Our utilities are privatised and you are correct, it is terrible.
Sewage gets dumped on our beaches by these companies and 1/5th of all drinkable water is lost through pipe leaks in Great Britain
Are you old enough to remember when everything was state owned?
Because wasting billions on government run services is a good idea
@@martindunstan8043 "Natural monopolies" should never be privatized. Free market doesn't work well with monopolies.
@@artturantanen4951 neither do state run operations from my experience, the NHS for example, I have no answers, I'm no politician merely a user, a financial contributer and an observer. ✌️
@@martindunstan8043 I'm only old enough to remember Post-Thatcher Britain. I'm from up north, it's as grim as they say :)
The difference between the two is simple Dubai don't show The Flintstones but Abu Dhabi do
Now you know how we felt every time we saw a car in America.
Although we've got used to it.
Agreed, fed up with Americans commenting on steering wheel on the wrong side. Get over it, they used to also and as we know there’s logical reason as to why we drive on the left
Miss these top gear days.. I have a suggestion for you, the mountains behind me here in wales has an aircraft testing loop, photographers up on the mountain sides getting extreme close ups. If you search "mach loop" there's a few videos, one of american aircraft too.
Not so much 'testing' as practicing tactical low-flying. And 'Mach', as you know, because it is an arc of valleys between Dolgellau and Machynlleth.
@@wessexdruid7598ye i wasn't sure how to word the testing/ flying part, amazing footage in some of the videos though.
You should check out Koenigsegg's video of their Agera RS setting the record for the fastest 0-400-0 (km/h) time. Super quick video but absolutely nuts.
The government privatized the UK utilities and other stuff in the 1980s. They've been increasingly really expensive ever since and from the mid 1990s have been bought up by the French, the Germans and various Arabs etc amongst others ever since, as they were obviously cash generating machines and a right bargain.
Always has a great personality and smile and put a smile on my face
Thanks Connor
4:20 Some bikes are kickstart like the motorcycle Hammonds on, but more modern bikes like the Yamaha R1, Kawasaki H2, KTM duke, Husqvarna 900R etc all just require you to turn on the ignition then press a starter button on the right side handlebar.
RIP Ken Block #43
Yeah RIP, I am happy they stopped anyone using his number though
Starting an old bike, you have a decompressor and a kickstart, few kicks with the clutch in to free up the clutch plates, slowly kick over till the compression point then pull the decompressor and kick it just a little till it’s just past the compression point, let go of decompressor, choke out if the engine is cold and then make sure the key is on and give it (depending on the bike) either a moderate kick to go or a bloody hard kick and it’ll go if you’re lucky.
In my parent's garage, there is still a slight dent in the ceiling from my brother kickstarting a CCM (BSA 500cc single) too enthusiastically - and it threw him in the air..
@@wessexdruid7598 I've heard of the BSA gold star clubman dislocating knees, kicking back
Fun fact: The UK isn't actually the only country that drives on the left side of the road. Ireland, Malta, India, Australia, New Zealand and Japan also drive on the left side
15:06 There are indeed car regulations about how fast a car can get to zero from high speeds, it comes under the regulations for car brakes.
V8 Not G8 and the 2468 chants life in my head rent free
Fantastic reaction as per usual, love it :D keep it up!
old motorcycles - in this case, a Royal Enfield - had neither battery nor starter, it had to be started by activating a crank with the foot - the kickstarter - which drove the axis of the motor which in turn activated the electromagnetic coil which powered the spark plug and allowed the engine to start.
once the motor is started, motor and coil drive and feed each other.
isn't it a Vincent Black Shadow?
The original and correct side for the steering wheel is on the right. Henry Ford changed it for the US.
push down is kick starting cranking with the foot
“Theres no space in it”
Youd be surprised at how much you can cram inside one of these small cars
you have to remember my dude we drive on the correct side of the road 😀
Was the first race they did the aston to france and mat hammond on public transport ??
Good point about the anarchist flag! Yup - Dubai and Abu Dhabi are two of the emirates in the UAE. 60 to 0 would largely depend on the driver's reaction time. And no it wasn't Hammond on the bike at the desert airfield - it was a top rally bike racer.
Yep, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both in the UAE. Abu Dhabi is the capital city, Dubai is what everyone thinks is the capital city
We did have privatisation of the water and sewage systems they’ve now been split into company is heavily regulated by the government. When companies were nationalised you had four bosses for everyone worker and it would cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds a year and they still had to pay for the water and sewage services in their taxes
Check out 'Clarkson, Hammond and May Parking Compilation' by incT. It's got 800k views in a few days. Very funny & many clips you probably haven't seen yet.
The guy on the bike at the airfield is Ricky Carmichael.
When do we get Part 2????
11:23 we anarchists beleive in a free will so owning a flag that represents our organisation would mean we're representing an organisation with our best interests in mind
They have done a lot of break tests on the show. Im sure you can search for it
It was Ricky Carmichael on the bike
Need to watch more top gear or any car review programme mate as the brake test from speed forms parts of it and not just acceleration
Mst car review test the braking aswell....
16:50 ken block vs rider who isnt james hes a monster energy rider both from america
Anarchy -> chaos -> group formation-> tribes -> feudalism. Two are more powerful than one, that is the end of anarchy as it means forming groups will have significant advantage, which will lead to tribes and they tend to have tribe leaders conglomerating power and the whole cycle starts again when the oppressed then revolt, overthrow the lord and establish more democratic system. Or we skip all that suffering and keep developing the system we have now.
There is a wonderful video, i left it once i think in discord suggestion about Nordic countries and how they became so prosperous but equal. The answer is: they never had feudalism... They went from tribes vs tribes to land owners vs government without lords in between. There is a weird idea among some politically aligned people that Nordic people are afraid of the government and that is why there is "socialism" but the truth is that the government has been afraid of its people for hundreds of years now. Individuality and self governance are high in the priorities. Tribes in Finland, Vikings in the Scandinavia did not bow down to the lords very easily, the lords had to promise them something: safety, wellbeing, support, prosperity. You could not just go and tell them "i own all of this now and i get the benefits, you get the scraps...". You got rebellion, uprising and mayhem in return.
What would happen if you privatized utilities? Look up Enron and the Californian blackouts in 2000
Old Motorcyles : Kick start to turn engine over
A lot of current dirt bikes have them too, to save weight.
That shot of the jump took about 9 takes to get right Ken Block RIP was driving the car can't remember who was on the bike but it was not Hammond the didn't crash.
I work for United Utilities in the sewage side. It’s great!
If anyone actually works out how much they pay a day for, drinking and sanitary water, the dirty water being taken away. The water off the roads cleaned etc.
most of these fools would complain, then twice as much on a mochafrappachino.
How much are you paid?
Thank you for looking after my pooooo
19:20 green car ford focus
White car renault megane rs cup
where's part 2?
1509 yes ion the bac of a british high way code book
What if you privatised the utilities?
Boy, have I got news for you...
Yeah you Americans need to stop putting wheel on passenger side as it makes it harder for driver
I thought you have a go about Clarkson say they use American aiming system
Privatized utilities... ok, yeah, that is not a great idea. lol, was typing before you get to the finish of that thought... Vital services and profit are a bad idea as there is no upper limit to how much you can extract. The point where people would be releasing sewage to ditches would be far before the utility prices would be so high that there is no more profit to be made. And the worst thing is that the private company does not need to care about the environmental damages that their actions are not doing; the release of raw sewage and the cholera etc diseases are not caused by them directly.
All vital services should run on deficit. Healthcare, education, water, sewage, electricity. Food is somewhat price controlled (there is a limit to food prices before governments in every country will step in and prevent famine) and it is heavily subsidized so that still works as private and there is a LOT of competition. But there is no real competition in the ones i listed, not even private healthcare has healthy competition. Those services in turn allow people to work and to establish new business, they create possibilities and opportunities for growth. They should be considered as investments on citizens: you put money in the system to get more money out of it.
RIP Ken Block
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates
Why is belly button fluff always blue? 🤔
Anarchism doesn't prohibit making flags mate
Anarchists are not opposed to organisations. They are opposed to hierarchy.
Not total anarchy then?
As a counterpoint to your anarchist flag thing, a symbol doesn’t indicate an organization. You’re wearing a Patriots hoodie, it hardly makes you an NFL player.
in not so great britain our utilities are privatised and maing big profits
Privatize utilities? Google eskom in South Africa.
The lefties have cancelled JC 🤬
I don't really think you can blame "the lefties" when it's people from all over the political spectrum and in several countries mad at what he said.
Yep, the limp wrist brigade have always had it in for him. They can't tolerate free speech. Unless it's Meagain and her drip husband of course. They can say whatever they want.
Ginge and Winge weren't even gracious enough to accept his apology. Which he should never have made. 🤦
You could just as easily say The Sun has cancelled JC and they hardly qualify as 'lefties'. Clarkson is a writer and writers are paid to write. Publishers, whether newspapers or otherwise, are paid to choose what to print. As editor, it was Victoria Newton's poor choice to print what was written. Had The Sun utilised a tiny bit of judgment over his article and stopped it before the print run, we'd all be talking about something else.
Because not liking something instantly makes you a lefty. 🙄
@@SNMG7664 It is the lefties though mate!
You went from saying "I'm a genius" to "I don't get things".
Our utilities are privatised, and you're right, it's a shit show.
That 'Skoda Catholic Church' crack was not only inaccurate but also in extremely poor taste. As, I'm gutted to note, was your swift agreement. Unsubscribed.
"Actually, what would happen if the utilities were privatised?" - Conservative government in the 1980s
isis have flags
I can't believe that you don't know what a kick start is. =P
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick_start
Thank you for posting this...and saving me the trouble. LOL
Isn't "the Patriots" the handegg team that cheated by deflating the ball? 😉🫣
Check out carwow. Mat tests the acceleration in different ways and the braking too + he makes it well funny
