Chuckle in Your Day

To meow or to not meow; that is the question ...

I had a right 'guffaw' when I read this  
"Our exit from the EU was all about moments just like this, where we can seize new opportunities and provide a real boost to our great British wineries and further growing the economy."

Great, pints of wine.

My frail 91 year-old wife and I both need cheering up, so we have tried to give each other amusing books for Christmas. Whether she finds "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" funny or not I'm not sure, but one gem that she has given me is "The book of senior moments" by Shelly Klein. Here is an example:

 

An elderly man in Australia phones his son in London: "I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I have decided to separate. Forty years of misery is too much for anybody. We can't stand the sight of each other any longer. So call up your sister in New York" and he hangs up the phone.

 

Out of his mind with worry the son calls his sister who explodes: "They simply cannot get a divorce; leave it to me".

 

She calls her father immediately and screams at the old man: "You are not divorcing mum. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'll call my brother now and we will both be there tomorrow." She hangs up.

 

The old man put down the receiver and says to his wife: "OK, they are coming for Christmas and they are paying their own air fares."

So my PHEV quotes a maximum theoretical electric only range of 39 miles....

 

Here is reality  

 

5 out of 8 bricks charged. Perhaps 50-62.5% charge?? Hmmm so that should be maybe 20 miles of range or more likely 15?

 

 

 

reality sucks  and no, there isn't a fault as such, it does under-read slightly, but it really is a bit carp!

 

 

Gotta love the electric revolution 

[Lady Elanore]

Please don't start arguing about EVs though, I am having a laugh at my own expense and the rubbish electric range of my car
