I only got the chemistry reference and didn’t understand the use of a woodland creature to find things so kept quiet...

I see like many definitions it has been updated and made more complex since I was a lad :)

Mole being an alternate word for a secret agent.

Good, if it had to be explained it wasn't that funny :wink: I'll have to get out more

I assume others got the Adrian reference from Andrew ?

Good link, thanks.
I like the bit that shows one way that LPG is better for the environment:
Diesel = 132g CO2/km
Petrol = 120g CO2/km
LPG = 83g CO2/km

That's a massive difference, even allowing for slightly reduced mpg on LPG.



And yet my mates Citroen C3 diesel 1400 car tax is £30 annum. Image against my last LPG Camper RFL tax of £270. Do we feel an injustice?

Yes a complete injustice the modern Diesel polluting vehicles at over 230g CO2/KM either pay £0 or £30 tax and are ULEZ exempt against a VW T25 1.9 petrol engine that emits 120g CO2/KM which we pay £325 tax all because the government doctored the figures years ago for their own gain. I even pay £240 tax on my Skoda 14 Fabia petrol engine that is only 130g CO2/km...why are electric vehicles exempt surely the road tax should cover road maintance such as pot hole repairs all vehicles should pay a minimum of £50 as part of their road tax and more for heavier vehicles
