But, of course, that isn't what this post is about.
It's strange how the news stories I find to comment on come about. There were only four in October while I've already done four this month and there are TWO that caught my eye on the BBC News site today.
The first one annoyed me - it is top of the most watched videos at the moment. Now I realise that it is the job of the news to report on unusual events and, compared with those happening to fossil fuel cars (as Moggy from electric Classic Cars calls them) or piston cars (as Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show calls them), electric car fires are very rare - even if they can be more spectacular - that rarity isn't mentioned at all.
In fact, given that the Liverpool Arena car Park fire was caused by an old Land-Rover and the Luton Airport Car Park fire was caused by a Range-Rover, then maybe the BBC should look to be covering the next JLR car to catch fire.
Talking of London airport car parks, the other story today didn't annoy me. It tells of temporarily repurposing a car park at Stansted for a drive-in movie location.
"Airport bosses have stressed that pilots will not be distracted by a large LED screen at a temporary drive-in cinema at its site in Essex."
The whole article goes on about how it will be safe and all checks and authorisations are in place - I'm not sure why the whole article is about that - NOBODY HAS SUGGESTED OTHERWISE!
Do they think that some passing pilot might fancy watching Top Gun? It has been suggested before.
