Resources are scarce – we know this much. So what can be interesting is seeing how people deal with that. We’re lucky enough to be on holiday in South Africa for the 2nd time in 12 months, and there’s a thing going on here which, frankly, I don’t know how Australia or the UK would…

One would think that in Britain at the height of an energy price crisis that switching to a pure electric vehicle might be a silly move. But you’d be missing the fact that lead times on ordering new electric vehicles have been up around the 18-month mark, meaning that when we ordered it we weren’t…

When might be a good occasion to try these, one wonders. #crisps #terrifying
