    We looked around a Tesla showroom last year.

    The cars were pretty impressive from an engineering point of view, not sure about the huge screen in the dash.

    Would like to test out the 0-60mph in 2.6 seconds though - apparently the fastest accelerating production car ever.

    Prius? NO way. Telsa? Probably!

    hi john I saw that clip on sky this morning, and I found it contrived and set up for the camera, the fact that a sack was filled with earth and then carried two yards by the child, could not possibly be taken as anything other than being set up

    On the 1881 Census, my 8, EIGHT, year old great Aunt Emily is described as a Coal Miner.
    How long she had been down the mines before that , I don't know.
    and they complain about slavery today.

    reply john collier
    hi john
    I was just pointing out that there is no doubt in my mind that the clip showing this poor little boy carrying a sack of soil from one heap to another heap a couple of feet away was fixed and contrived by sky,
    I have I'm afraid become very critical of all mainstay news service the bbc being the worst purveyor for biased news in favour of the left wing liberals.
    I myself watch mainly rt news and al jezeera,which I find less bias than the above.
    and just to prove a point one of the Oscars given to a film about the white helmets in Syria, and the director was refused entry into America or made a point not to go and collect his award because of trump.
    well rt news has been showing a excellent documentary about the white helmets, and the reporter is Canadian, and she has shown that the white helmets are in fact part of isis and they are financially backed and armed by America and the uk. and this same peace group the white helmets are responsible for many of the fake news and atrocities, their main fake news outlet is run in London from a semi-detatched house.
    so as the president of America mr trump states fake news is coming from the main stream outlets to suit their own agenda

    If you think that sky would go to that much trouble for a non story you have to be joking.There has to be a story there or they wouldn't outlay the money to transport the journalistsetc out there.

    John as some of us on here have had our words misquoted by the Press, we are always very sceptical of what they print, and I for one certainly don't put it beyond them to create photographs that suit their purposes or write captions that have no bearing on reality, regardless of expense. All these media have what they call reporters 'on the ground' who are basically freelance, so there is no cost of transporting them. You'll see misleading headlines everyday on the Web just to get your attention, and when you read the article you'll find you've been led by the nose and the headline is a complete farce
