Tesla sold 70,000 cars last year. Ford 6.6m. Yet Tesla valued more highly.

I was pretty much locked in to buy a Tesla until our wonderful government changed the BIK tax rules on electric cars.

Amazing cars and definitely going to be the way things go in the future.

I can't wait until they become comparable on price to petrol/diesel cars and vans. Shouldn't be more than 5 years I wouldn't have thought given the way they're progressing.

IMO it's investing in the potential Ford had just before the Model T launch, instead of in the a fairly static behemoth.

If I was making the investment I'd rather buy a share in Elon Musk, but as you can't the next best is picking which of his projects are looking to bear serious fruit.

I'm not sure who she is or how she got those jeans on.

Hi Ralph,

Her name is - or more precisely was - Jules Sowa, & she was a Presenter on Sky Poker TV. She got married & is now known as Jules Breach.

In answer to Tighty, & for reasons I'll explain in due course, I treated myself to BT Sport recently, ("treated" is subjective, but there are several positives) as I'm on the DL list temporarily for all sorts of things, so have been watching a lot of TV, rather like I gather old boring people do, & I've been very impressed by Jules work for BT.

Here's Jules in her Sky Poker days alongside a good friend of both of you, although I'm not sure I approve of Miss Mason looking so "normal" and well groomed. I kinda prefer the natural look for Jen.

I will try & reply to all the other unanswered posts shortly, & I apologise for not doing so earlier.

I've been suffering from chronic fatigue since you know what, & everything is too much trouble & I sort of cba to do anything. Most unlike me, & I don't like it at all, but thankfully I'm on the up now & hopefully my zing and oomph will soon fully return. 

I got all behind with my PM replies, too, but have had a bit of a purge this morning and replied to 20 or so. That's good progress all things considered, so life is good.

Something to get started on whilst I sum up the energy and oomph needed to get up to date with replies.

As I alluded earlier, I've been watching a lot of TV, never had much choice tbh.

Anyway, two TV advertisements - we used to call them "commercials" as I recall - have impressed me greatly for a) quality of production, b) general amusement, and I thought I'd share both with you to see if you all - or anyone - agrees.

They'd be even better adverts if I had the faintest idea what either of them were trying to sell me.

I'd bet good money it is a Purple Starling.

Beautiful bird. How does nature do that?

I took this photo on Saturday, in quite a well known location.

Anyone know where it is?
