One other reason for staying in the left lane is the terrible and broken condition of the right lane caused by heavy verhicle traffic. The road from Seville to Portugal, the A49, is a prime example.
I for one will not be going to Seville again until it is repaired; it's almost undriveable.
The average Spaniard Jose says: are you nuts michaelcojones? We use sunflower oil for mayo and some for fries. The 99% of the rest is olive oil.
You are Cojones loco. Nut oil is the majority oil sold here in Consum now .
Agreed Jose, that is the reality.
Regarding allergies... Some of my coworkers suffer a lot, Barcelona very dusty and filled with pollen, so I understand they are suffering☹️ When it's worst I usually wear a facemask and goggles if I'm on my bike (even though I'm not allergic) but it doesn't look especially healthy with all the particles in the air.
Thanks for sharing ❤
One way to describe the plight of the EV is when I saw a picture of an electric bus being charged at the side of the road with a large diesel generator. It seems that fossil fuels still have a place in society.
Yes they do and that's because there is no other alternative. Have a look at my comment. Cheers.
Of course they do. Many anti EV people make a strawman argument by pretending the goal is to completely stop using fossil fuels one night and only use EVs starting the next morning, when in reality the idea is to slowly phase EVs into the market, which will obviously require some use of fossil fuels during the transition.
Sales of electric cars are stagnating everywhere and are way behind the idiotic targets set for them. CZcams is absolutely awash with videos for the reason why. There aren't enough trained mechanics in independent garages to work on them so repairs and services take far too long. Only the very well off can afford them and they depreciate in value at an astonishing rate: Garages aren't interested in buying them back. In the U.S.A, where so many drive SUV's, were finding that when you drive off-road or with a trailer the battery plummets. The unrecyclable batteries are virtually the cost of the car and have a limited shelf life. Don't have an accident either, because the cost of repairs are eye-watering. Loads of people are just scrapping their cars rather than pay the bill.
Charging points? Well, that's just a joke everywhere. Even in a congested country like the U.K, amongst others, the now, obviously impossible, target of charging points is a stratosphere away from being met. It's virtually stalled. Furthermore, it's widely accepted that even that target is another stratosphere away from the actual amount that would be required. The length of charge is still far too long as well. We had a snowy week a couple of years ago in the U.K and the result was massive queues of nervous EV drivers in rural areas waiting forever to get to the garage charging point.
Even if we arrive to a future utopian dream of affordable electric cars and plentiful charging points, that can charge a car as quickly as it takes to fill a tank of petrol, where is the electricity on the grid going to come from? That level of energy is not coming from renewable sources. The U.K, being the shit show it is, takes about 30 years to build a new nuclear power station and its old ones are in the process of being decommissioned. France enjoys a lot of nuclear energy but many of its stations are also in the process of decommission and extremely expensive recommissioning or massively expensive new nuclear plants. It's not happening.
China's tanking economy is looking to flood the rest of the world with its cheap knock off EVs but you'd be mad to buy them. Again, plenty of CZcams videos explaining why. The American car companies are reversing their EV policies because they make absolutely no business sense and are loosing them large amounts of money. The German car companies are crapping themselves for the same reason. Their idiot Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, still clings to the idea of exporting expensive cars to a bankrupt middle class in China that makes its own knock-off stuff for a fraction of the price. How many people in Africa, Asia, Russia and Latin America can afford these cars and where are the charging points? Wake up everybody.
Well stated... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫣
@@lyndaocallaghan7953 Thanks Lynda. It's frickin obvious isn't it? It's game over. Even Tesla are going down the bin.
Squatters, haha 😂 Oh yes, a huge problem they are in certain parts of Spain. There are even enterprises whose activity is to kick them out through legal procedures or even using "their own ways" from the real estates they occupy. YT doesn't even allow me to mention them by name, the comment gets deleted by default, so it is up to everyone to find out about them.
Toyota did try hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (as are others). The cell uses hydrogen to react with oxygen to produce water and electricty. The electricity is used to drive motors via batteries. So it is an EV with hydrogen based energy storage. There's a lot of hydrogen based misinformation out there. I wonder who supplies it? 😊
About electric cars, one of the questions I always have and people evade is, what are we going to do with all the discarded batteries when they need to be replace and are not recyclable and are harmful for the environment. The 2024 Toyota Camry only comes as Hybrid with 7 years warranty on the battery. The replacement battery after warranty starts at $4k plus installation. To me electric cars are for rich people that can afford to change cars every 3 to 4 years and not worry about battery replacements. For the rest of us, like me, that only buy used cars keep them for 15 years or more, we will be force to buy cars more often or pay for a battery replacement that will cost more than the salary of many months in most cases and can't be finance. To me electric cars are a scam. You want to lower emissions? Go after China and India that are the biggest offenders. The US also needs a train infrastructure like the one in Spain.
Hi Stu
It seems they want to move the Spanish border to the airport which will mean that anyone landing will be in the Schengen and will have to be in the same situation as the 90/180 rule. If you live in Gibraltar this is completely ridiculous. What is Cameron thinking of??
More to the point what was David Cameron thinking of in 2016 when giving the UK a referendum on the right to leave the EU.
18:30 Walked across that bridge of flowers to the art museum last year.
Jacaranda tree in Pretoria has same effect on people but mostly it is called the Jacaranda eye it is like hay fever in other countries
Eric Idle [as an Aussie] - "I've just seen a streaker on the Earls Court road - he looked like a bald wallaby".
That may, or may not, have come from Monty Python's "Bruces sketch", along with the classic line, "It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum".
As with many new things it’ll take a few years for the EV revolution to achieve its objective of replacing ICE, not least the charging infrastructure. The life of batteries has a way to go also.
On the subject of beer, try Turia from Valencia, it’s not half bad, it got a bit of taste..
Think there’s a company who can get the squatters out. You pay of course . They do the job
There are some new companies in the States that deal with this. One company has ex football players who move in and squat in the house too. It doesn’t take long.
No negotiations for what ? Camaron has no mandate surely ? . We can wait until Ceuta and Melilla are given back !
No, we can't, as gib is not an EU place.....but it might be, like NI
It is Right Lane Hogging in GB that is a problem
It's mainly middle lane hogging we find.
Looks like parke Turia.
I doubt many young Aussies can afford to live around Earl's Court these days. Rents in that area of West London are now super expensive. Mainly sons of Saudi oil families.
EVs, i’m positive but like any other major adjustment it will take time. Battery and range improvements, tax breaks, incentives to increase charging infrastructures in residences and retail locations.
Nope. EV's are bankrupting car manufacturers which is why the American companies are doing a U-turn and so are Germany. The batteries have a short shelf life and are vulnerable.There is absolutely no enthusiasm for recharging points either It's over.
Just wondering Stu if the Spanish have taken to the Airfryer like the UK has everyone seems to have one and use it daily for most of the meals no olive oil needed lol I love mine and only use the liquid gold olive oil on the salads love my aceitunas olives which I get in Lidl on Spain week
Yes . They are sold in shops here & advertising on TV over the last 2 year's
What an absolute mess brexit is ... 16th May 2024
There was no breakthrough in the negotiation for UK/EU agreement on Gibraltar’s post-Brexit relationship with the Rock on Thursday, despite negotiators pointing to “important breakthroughs” after seven hours of intense high-level talks. Gibraltar Chronicle 16/5
Really? Perhaps Sanchez will have to back down. Lol
God, this argument is 8 years old. Move on.
@@welshtoro3256 No.
@@Chris_Carini Why not? It's 8 years old. Whatever we voted for it's done. Time to move on.
@@welshtoro3256 ... it’ll never be done. As in, we need a fix and cannot continue with the mess just because there was a vote eight years ago.
Hi all,.. have you any news on the latest news from the Spanish government with regards to a change to the way we can apply to live in Spain ?? Apparently from around September this year having a work permit? Green card ? Will no longer be acceptable to claim the right to live in Spain .. apologies in advance if my wording here is incorrect,…. you guys can no doubt put me on the right track only heard this … this morning but will look into it myself to get see what it’s about ,…. Thanks David
It depends, are you british or american?
British
@@David19579 ok , you have 3 options:
1. NLV
2. Golden Visa
3. Digital Nomad Visa
Easiest one, the NLV (non lucrative visa)
Ha ha ha the Devon vs Cornwall jam and cream rears its head AGAIN. Hilarious. Where have you all been? In Devon cream followed by jam. In Cornwall vice versa. There you have it. No arguments.
Texas, Florida...y New York, hablan español, y N.Y. no está en la frontera con México. Están los puertorriqueños. 😂😊
They will make lots of Money on that always sitting on the left.
