The conductor of the 88 at the beginning of the video is Tommy Kavanagh.I worked with him at Stockwell garage in South London from 1975 until 1984.A friendly Irish man he served as a union committee member. I served London as a conductor from 1975 until 1979 and as a bus driver from1979 until I retired in 2024.In all my nearly 45 years of driving there was never,in my opinion, a better bus ever made.

Ever noticed how it was sort of a missing man formation with Concorde detaching from the Red Arrows? It made sense since Concorde was approaching her retirement in commercial service.

The GREEN movement took the narrative of Nuclear power, the made it look dangerous because they had an agenda to work to that destroys the economy. They are aiming to cause mass deaths when there is a cold winter. THE BBC made this film but now will not mention anything about it now. There is a plan and it is coming to fruition NOW. There was an explosion, not in Russian but the Nordstream pipelines when the US destroyed Germany’s major sources of energy from Russia. This was the excuse to raise prices to the unattainable for a large sector of the UK population. All in the agenda.

While one can appreciate the idea of no power, it irks me to no end that you make a video where nobody can see what is going on. I’m not even British and want to say bloody h. It is also well known that the British are very good at survival skills. The elderly and children have coping skills some middle aged people do not. Try watching Victorian Pharmacy and Victory Garden. Get out the old axe and practice chopping wood because that is what you will spend your days doing.

@@swanvictor887you’re kidding, right? The motability scheme requires an advanced payment for the use of the vehicle over 3 years, the vehicle is then given back at the end of that term. During the 3 year term the disabled person gives up their monthly PIP allowance. So it’s not a lease because there’s no way for the disabled person to keep the vehicle they’ve invested in at the end and it’s certainly not free as is often the misconception. A full time wheelchair user will require a larger vehicle (more expensive) with an automatic transmission (more expensive) and extras like electric tailgates & seats that make a wheelchair user’s day to day life easier all have to be spec’d at their expense over the listed advanced payment too - but remember they don’t get to see any of that 3 years down the track. The Motability scheme however - owned by the big 4 banks - have it well sewn up with their own auction houses through which they offload the vehicles often at profit (because they’ve not paid any VAT on them to begin with, they’re one of the the world’s largest fleet owners so have huge discount buying power and the vehicles often have low mileage for their age) not before removing and *disposing of* any costly adaptations like hand controls, hoists and transfer plates. So. Aye. That’s all a reason to skimp on making public transport accessible in big cities 🙄

After watching The Crown, it's more noticeable that she was nervous at the beginning of this footage, almost grinding her teeth (she had lost her sister and her mum recently, who wouldn't be overwhelmed at that sight?) She got really glad/relaxed when the family entered, she relaxes her chin a bit. Queen Elizabeth II, no other monarch will ever be quite like her

HAMSTERS!!! ... all you need is a decent sized farm, (500 hamsters and wheels or so), attach a motor to each wheel, have wires running from the motors into transformers, (basically two rods wrapped in copper wire, one side less than the other), to boost the small charge, run that voltage through about three more transformers, and there you go - "free" power - only down-side is paying for the animal care, hence the "free" part. IF done correctly, they could power the country, granted no one has tried it, but because no one has tried it, that means we DONT know, i mean look at them, once they get on that wheel, they run .. FAST! you attach a motor to the wheel? - small charge of electric, but if you boost that charge with step-transformers? Well, who knows how much power they can produce? i mean, all a step-transformer is, is just a power changer, if you need more charge, go from less-wrapped>more-wrapped (step-up-transformer), you want less charge, go from more-wrapped>less-wrapped (step-down-transformer), keep a small charge from the hamster wheels going through each of the step-up's and who knows how much power you can actually make?
