Yes it does. The problem is when they get near to the end of the jam and those big gaps are still there. It reduces the traffic flow away from the hold up.

That’s a very limited outlook.

We live in west Chandlers Ford and we don’t have a bus service.

Yet not as bad as an Ice Age.

What is your objection?

The problem with London and the air that goes with it is that there are too many people living there. You can’t reduce the traffic and expect the same standard of living. This applies especially in the outer parts especially those just inside the M25. The inner parts are buffered by the outer and they have better public transport and a lot fewer cars. The only way to support those living in the middle is by supporting them with economic aid from the outside. There was once a time when we had trolley buses and trams throughout. We have gone backwards.

The air in London is cleaner than it’s ever been. Some of us lived there through the fifties and sixties.

Quite so. You can’t bribe people with their own money.

Do the Turks still use paper money then?

You can't conclude anything. All that you might be able to say is that they have less in their arsenal now than they did before they fired them.

Some would see it as positive publicity.

Is that still the case for non-British?

But they might be on their last lot. Without knowing their stocks we can infer nothing.

Oxford for PPE. That’s where the wasters and dreamers go. Cambridge is for the sensible and practical people.

Why do you call it a myth? We have no way of knowing.

Perhaps he's playing better becaus he's happier and he's back home.

Indeed. Australia have been playing test cricket whilst England have been playing limited overs.

Or his bank balance.

I know exactly what it is. For anybody outside the zone it is a fine for daring to drive into it. Buying petrol is different altogether as well you know.

Because your customers can’t get to you from outside the ULEZ

Not in Somerset it doesn’t. Cleaner air is not the only factor in children’s health. Economic factors are also important. And banning cars will make them poorer.

It’s not that simplistic, it never is. Each solar cycle (actually 22 years) can vary dramatically and can go from practically zero sunspots to hundreds. It’s not so much the solar output that matters, although that is the simplistic view, as the amount of high energy solar activity and its corresponding effect on cloud formations. The Little Ice Ages during the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton Minimum are an indication of what happens when there are not many sunspots.

Usually a wooden stake through the heart is considered sufficient.

And wasn’t Dean the VAR referee for ‘that game’ against Leicester? He saw a red card where nobody at the ground even saw a foul.

His left foot gave way as he went to strike the ball. It carved out a huge divot.
