Ah!! Well that's perfectly all right. You "liberated" them from the clutches of Nazism. You could pair them with "Z"-foil resistors and R*****n valves.

Shocking political part-isanship there commrade......
I liberate in the name of Capitalism.

All jokes aside, round my way the dont waste time with the charger cables, they just loot the whole substation. With the grid shut down, they strip all the copper from the transformers. Usually takes 5 mins with highly trained crew. Problem is they leave the whole area without power for days or weeks. They dont care that some people are dependant on power for medical equipment and the like. In the current economic situation, this is only going to get worse. If they get caught they should be done with manslaughter if anyone dies because of it.

Hi All
Delivery dates, what delivery dates
My daughter has ordered a Seat hybrid and (Dad) paid a hefty deposit 8 months ago still no car and White Dove Motors now say 12 months plus (maybe) for any electric/hybrid cars, however we have several petrol vehicles in stock.
Only thing in her favour is that she’s been promise the selling price is frozen at last years price.
So much for greener cleaner cars.
