That really is a proof reading joke   And you say mine are bad...

You full time working for yourself or in corporate land? Drove through IBM Warwick the other week, you wouldn't recognise the place, housing estate, Premier Inn 

Well it's great to hear from you, it's been far too long young lady.

Oh, barney? :P lol. ”

Yep still here, plodding along, we're like a bad penny  Clive rarely graces the forum with his presence, he says he's too busy and important these days  

To be fair I've been absent for a while as things have been pretty busy recently. Ask anyone in the UK about 4 initials called GDPR  Rant alert...

We have another South African on board, Andy, not sure if you guys have been introduced? Think he arrived as you disappeared?

You're still technically a mod, more than welcome to keep modding or do you want to be a normal bod?

Can change your password if you are having probs, lemme know.

Right the MLS ones have been sent, after we did the crazy GDPR giveaway sale bonanza earlier in the month.

Does this mean no one will be getting any email in June? 

I think it's time we got a few crates of beer in and all headed over to Barneys as he seems to be the party magnet!

Holy moly, Sam as well!!

Where on earth have you been and how the devil are you? 

Fantastic to hear from you, hope things are positive and on the up 

Saw an interesting presentation from JLR's marketing boss in London last week. He said if 5% of the UK car driving population moved to electric cars right now, the National Grid wouldn't be able to take the strain.

Also the diesel engines produced now are 200% cleaner and more efficient than those produced by the major manufacturers only 5 years ago.

Now his was obviously a slanted view point being a car man, but was nice to hear arguments from the other side for a change rather than the usual electric or anti diesel media hysteria. Food for thought, particularly when you have to bear in mind that a large part of the current grid is provided by burning fossil fuels, whilst Nuclear alternatives get everyone in a tizzy. Renewable energy is obviously the way forward, but it generates a lot less and we will need an awful lot more of it and very soon. ££££££

The only genuine alternative for the foreseeable future are hybrid vehicles, ie fossil fuel engines and part time electric. But then you have a heavier vehicle, less fuel efficient etc.

So is a very efficient and modern diesel that collect the majority of harmful particles, that conforms to strict emission regulations such a bad thing for the foreseeable future? Versus lots more power stations and cobalt battery powered cars.

...and we all know how a lot of cobalt, the important ingredient of batteries is collected 

Now that would be good TV 

Love Asda, I'm a labels man, George  £50 shopping, wardrobe outfitted for another 2 years

I think I can honestly say I'm a bit GDPR'd out 

Still got some work to do on MLS but it's in hand. There's certainly been a lot of dis and mis-information. Remember if you double opted in your newsletter list originally and you have good data policies already in place, then there is very little you need to do and you don't need to email everyone with a please stay subscribed email.

If on the other hand like us you didn't, then your screwed  I still reckon in 6 months time it will be GDPR what? A bit like the cookie law...

At least there should be less spam around from horrible directories bombarding you every month
