I wouldn't want HS2 to spread everywhere and to be honest I don't think it is entirely necessary. However the West Coast Main Line is in a relatively poor state of repair which leads to delays and cancellations. It's a shit service so people don't use it. Because they don't use it, it doesn't get the investment and round and round you go. Bob is right about the A1 and I have spent many an unhappy hour inching forward going nowhere fast. As for the Treasury Orthodoxy it has already been shown that the only projects which will get approved are those in the SE because the formula has been twisted to make it that way. Facts! Please bear with me on this: If I asked your wife if she knew you had slept with another woman what reaction do you think you would get and how much outrage would you show towards me for daring to ask such a question? I know nothing about your past Michael but I would bet that your wife is not the only woman you have ever slept with, so my statement is factually correct but the inference taking from that statement of fact is totally incorrect. I rest my case: people act of feelings. This seems a bit out of order, even as it is not aimed at myself. Do we know or not, if our significant other has been or is sleeping with someone else? I should hope so, very few get to marriage or even a long term relationship with others without the physical element being present. Offence is taken not given and I haven’t taken any offence, though thanks for the concern, Mike. More to the point I don’t think John would dream of causing offence. Offence is taken not given and I haven’t taken any offence, though thanks for the concern, Mike. More to the point I don’t think John would dream of causing offence. Absolutely none intended Michael: that is not my way. Perfectly clear to me that was a purely hypothetical scenario, for effect. I'm away to open my weekly family bag of Starmix. Living the dream!!

It's a great idea to replicate the success London has had but that's simply not going to happen. It appears to me that the majority of, for example, infrastructure spend goes to the SE. So, 160 years after the first underground line in London When is Manchester going to get a tube line? Manchester has a ring road, urban motorways, a tram, railways connecting locally and nationally as well as an airport. Does it need a metro? UK cities generally aren’t worth emulating, we’re better at towns and small cities like York and Harrogate. I’m sure other counties do them well, too.

I have just put the heat on so looking forwards to being a bit warmer. Baked spud and a steak tonight. Talk about expense no spares.

They are talking the talk Not very well - should have hired a professional presenter for this launch if that's the best that Musk can do.

How many people would buy a Tesla without all the state subsidies thrown in? How many Tesla sales globally are supported by artificial state subsisdies? It would be interesting to see.
