Clip from last nights news as a local reporter takes the car around the car park at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.

There is probably an advert before the clip starts :rolleyes:

Absolutely fabulous although I must caution everyone,  The eight pence a mentioned in the presentation doesn't include the £2 which is to be added by the government in power on the day to offset the loss caused by not buying petrol...

Same as the PRIVATISED water companies who charge you to collect water running off you own roof.   :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked: :blubber: :blubber: :blubber:

It's a great story tho Brian  :goodjob:
