You’ll be pleased to hear one of TH-cam’s best motoring journalists - Harry Webster (Harry’s Garage) has dumped his milk float and gone back to diesel!!! Good man!
hm, he MUST LIKE indirectly funding that "vile regime" in Saudi Arabia, he WONT be impressing any decent females in a million years, by doing THAT, lol.
I was actually conceived in the back of a camper van in Cornwall and now own a Mini Cooper Electric, "strange but TRUE" hey, LOL. (IF one of the locals had knocked on that camper van windows at the crucial time saying "yer kaaaarnt du thaa rownd eere, yer dirtee buggerz, IF yer wanna du thaa, go up thur to Devn" I wouldnt be here today).
Some milk floats can tow a caravan but that makes their range impractically short. Also, the concept of drive through charging points has yet to arrive so they cannot recharge anywhere with their caravan hitched up.
We don't want the chargers in Devon, put them at Lands End. When all the Grockles (that's what we call tourists in Devon) come down on holiday, they will run out of charge long before they get to Lands End, and they will never want to come down this way again, or bother either of us again. 😃
EV's - a solution looking for a problem, if they were that good we would have had them years ago. Cornwall don't need them, put a sign on all roads entering Cornwall saying "This is your last chance to Re Charge your Milk Float cos we ain't got nowhere to re charge here, and we love it! 😆😆
"Milk Float???" MY ARSE, check these You Tube videos out, "electric vs petrol... which is fastest on track Mini SE v S", (Mini SE is the electric and the S is a Mini Cooper S), then check this one out too, "test driving an electric Mini and a Mini JCW - first impression from a V8 petrolhead" and this one, "drag race! can the new Electric Mini Cooper SE beat a performance tuned JCW on the track?", the JCW "makes a lot of noise" but just cant catch the Mini Cooper Electric, LOL.
@@acwdrivingservices9877 even a BANG AVERAGE Electric car, like a Mini Cooper Electric, OUTPERFORMS sports cars like the JCW Mini Cooper, so EVs are hardly "milk floats???" are they.
@@organickevinlondon Yes you are right. Calling EV's milk floats is unfair, as milk floats were perfect for delivering daily fresh milk to hungry families 40/50 years ago, performing a service to the community, so you gotta love 'em for that 😁So, calling EV's "milk floats" in really unfair on milk floats, if you follow me....😁 must try to think of another name for EV's next till I'm recharging one, lets face it I'll have plenty of time.................................................................... (personally I blame The MacMaster, it was him that started calling 'em milk floats)
@@acwdrivingservices9877 so in reality, you are some sort of a New Age Luddite then, as for the Mac Master, he ain't exactly the sharpest tool in the box either, as he's a high mileage driver, with a mid range EV, that only does, 2 and a 1/2 miles per kWh, and he's NEVER even used a FREE public EV charger too, (there are THOUSANDS of them in the UK), "no wonder he's always complaining about how much his Taycan costs to run", me I've owned a Mini Cooper Electric for 4 years now, and for 95%, of its mileage, I've been charging it up for FREE, I just drive it 500 meters, to my local supermarket, plug it in, do some shopping then walk home, and when its fully charged, walk 500 meters, from my home, to pick it up. As for the practicality of my Mini Cooper Electric, its manufacturers stated range is 145 miles, (I get 120 miles of range in the winter, and 170 miles of range in the summer), and my regular longest round trips are just under 100 miles, (I'm an ex international HGV1 driver, so I've done "more than my fair share of driving" if yer call ONE MILLION MILES, in an articulated truck around a dozen European nations" driving), so I can do those just under 100 mile round trips, and get back to my local FREE EV charging point, "NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER", (even if, I was charging at home, my Mini Cooper Electric, would still be, far cheaper to run, than my old Mini Cooper ICE, that I sold when the Mini Cooper Electric replaced it, oh, and the Mini Cooper Electric, handles way better than the old Mini Cooper ICE ever did,), as I now do, the average UK motorists weekly mileage, of about 140 miles, I only need to charge up my Mini Cooper Electric, about ONCE PER WEEK, with FREE JUICE too, as for longer journeys, I recently did from my home, in London, to Lands End and back, which is about a 600 mile round trip, stopping to charge at, Amesbury, after 80 miles, only needing 20 kWh of a charge, so that was 1/2 hour of charging, Honiton, another 70 miles down the A303, for 17.5 kWh, 20 mins of charging, and Launceston, 60 miles down the road, needing just 15 kWh of juice, taking about 17 mins, so it took, about ONE HOUR in charging time, on a 300 mile journey from London to Lands End, (I used the Gridserve EV charger at Lands End, while I went for a bike of a hike, so that didn't impact on my journey time one bit and as I used Zap Map, I didnt even have to queue to use any of the EV charging points during the entire round trip) and on the way back, on the same day, those 20 to 30 min "kip breaks" meant I didnt arrive home in London, feeling "totally cream crackered", and once yer get, past the M25, and drive into London, "you really do need to be mentally right on the ball, with NO driver fatigue" as the Mini Cooper Electric, does 4 miles per kWh, in winter, with the heater, wipers and light on, it consumed 70 kWh of juice, on the outward London to Lands End leg of the trip, and "paying through the nose at 80p per kW, using 50 kW chargers en route" meant the outward journey cost me £56, meanwhile, "that font of pure EV gibberish, the Mac Master" would have consumed 116 kWh of energy, (as his Taycan only does about 2.4 miles per kW), doing the exact same journey, costing him an eye watering £93 for the same journey, AND if the Mac Master, used the exact same 50 kW chargers as I did, "I would have BEATEN him to Lands End by half an hour", so "the Mac Master, isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the box after all, hey".
I agree totally about milk floats: you should be in parliament! We’ll all be driving 25 year old cars shortly if the ban on ICE goes ahead, we’ll be like Cuba! Don’t knock tourists too much: they do provide business and jobs so it’s not all bad news. I live in the Lake District so I know what it’s like.
That's pretty much what has been done, no doubt free charging at work for Council bosses and I expect they claim milage at the highest ICE rate! Them's not daft!
"Snagnes", and "Snaustell" - brings back fond memories (used to live in Newquay, and work just up the road for the MOD (Nancekuke))! Don't forget, if Cornwall Council is installing those 250kW chargers, they'll also need to be building extra power stations to provide the juice. How will that go down with the locals?? 😀 Putting them on the beach is a stroke of genius - a nice combination of high voltage, and VERY conductive salt water. Is St Austell still the loading port for all the clay from the ECC mines?
We had a week in Cornwall last year, we have got a petrol golf and from leaving our house near Norwich until we got back home not once did it force us into some shit hole carpark while our life drained away, not once did it make us plan our journey, not once did it only let us fill it to 80%, not once did it force us into a dump of a supermarket in the arse end of nowhere to charge it up. The whole journey from start to finish was hassle free. However the place we stayed at had around 10 apartments and they had some milk floaterists staying there, they were fucking about with extension leads out their apartment windows across the carpark trying to get some electric into the heaps of shit so they could go out and enjoy their holiday 😂. On the whole we enjoyed Cornwall and enjoyed laughing at the EV owners wasting their holiday time. One down side was we went to Padstow and tried Rick Steins take away fish and chips, they were crap.
I recently did, London to Lands End and back, (a 600 mile round trip) hassle free, in my Mini Cooper Electric, (with a manufacturers stated range of 145 miles), first stop, Amesbury Travelodge after 100 miles, B.P. Pulse charger, 25 minute charge up, no queue to use EV charger too, and its a short walk from there to the Solstice Services, next stop B.P. Honiton 70 miles later, 20 mins charge up, no queue there either, and the same again at Strawberry Fields farm shop near Launceston, no queue and ALL of the Pod Point chargers in perfect working order, (I DOUBT if any EV drivers were "fucking about with extension leads" as you CANNOT use extension leads, for EV charging, so THAT graphically exposes yer anti EV BS in ONE GO, and ONLY ACCORDING TO YOU, there were 10 apartments, and PLURAL, i.e. "more than one" milk floaterist staying there, so thats 2 out of 10, or 20% of the occupants had EVs, hm, ONLY 3% of UK cars are EVs, so your MATHS doesnt make ANY SENSE at all, as its an at least 7 times EXAGERATION isnt it, as that would make 21%) oh, and as for the "costs" of running my Mini Cooper Electric, 99% of the time, I charge it up, for FREE at my local, 500 meters from my home, FREE public EV charging point and I've been charging it up for FREE, for almost 4 YEARS now, (there are THOUSANDS of FREE EV charging points in the UK) I've done about 25,000 miles, and paid FUCK ALL for charging for THAT almost 25,000 miles whenever I go past filling stations and SEE people "filling up with petrol or diesel" I'm in tears over that, as those MUGS are actually paying for their road fuel, LOL.
@@organickevinlondon If you call that hassle free you need a check up from the neck up. Not once did our ICE car force us into a fucking carpark. Every minute of your life in those shit hole dump places is hassle you dont need to put up with with an ice car. It's bloody mental behaviour the bullshit EV owners will put up with.
@@organickevinlondon 🤣 ffs you call that hassle free, you need a check up from the neck up, not once did our ice car force us into a shit hole dump of a fucking carpark, every minute of your life wasted in those places is hassle. As for extension leads across the carpark I can assure you they were twatting about trying to get electric into the heaps of shit, it's like the grid serve near me, I pass it at least once a week and I can gaurantee poor bastards will be sitting in that dump of a place right now while their life is fading away, whenever I drive past it they are sitting there like lemmings, just staring out the windows miserable as fuck just waiting and waiting and waiting to die. All across the country now EV drivers are sitting around in fucking carparks. They are honestly mental to put up with the bullshit. Nothing in life is worth sitting in a carpark for, especially just to charge a heap of shit box on wheels up.
@@ADYDRURY1234 yer just "PISSED OFF" that I've totally exposed yer anti EV BS, and NONE of those EV charging points were "shitholes" either, in fact NONE of the EV charging points are shitholes, anyway, "I'm 100% SURE that you fully enjoy, indirectly funding that SHITHOLE that is Saudi Arabia, EVERY TIME you fill up" LOL "ENJOY" hey,.
@organickevinlondon I have got an EV mini with a laughably pathetic range and when I went on holiday it only forced into this shit hole carpark for 25 minutes, then a few miles later it forced into this dump of a carpark for 20 minutes, then a few miles later my car made me go into this scummy carpark for 19.5 minutes, then a few miles later it forced me into another fucking carpark and luckily the charger was available so I only had to waste 36 minutes of my life. 🤣 hassle free journey 🤣🤣👍 Everytime I go past a public charger and see all the poor bastards sitting there stuck on the end of a cable it makes me smile knowing how gullible some people are. I have been fitting domestic chargers since 2012 and one thing I have learned over the years is EV owners will accept any old bullshit, they are so easy to rip off. If I say I think these are the best chargers and these are the best EV's they lap it up, those words alone are worth at least another £100 on their bill. One thing I do know for certain is EV owners fucking love carparks and scummy roadside services. "I needed a toilet break anyway" 😂 There is some EV loser on here who walks backwards and forwards to a supermarket carpark to charge his car up, drops it off and then walks home, sits around like a lemming then walks back to collect it, I was going to find out his address and send him a dog lead so he can take his EV for a walk, what a waste of life. I can see his gravestone now, here rests the EV owner who wasted his life walking to and from a supermarket carpark. You honestly couldn't make it up how fucking sad some of these EV owners are. I will be back soon, just dropping the car off at the shitty supermarket carpark AGAIN. And I can assure you the EV retards were twatting about with extension leads across the carpark, one day we saw one of the familes sitting in their car in a tescos carpark, fully grown adults with their kids being forced by a crap tin box on wheels to waste valuable time of their holiday in a bloody tescos carpark going nowhere. EV owners are honeslty not fucking right in the head.
When I was building The Channel Tunnel I was taught a song by a Scotsman who worked with me, which has stuck with me for the last 30 odd years. Sung in a gravelly, throaty, cider blanched voice, with long vowels, as I imagine you all sound like down there: I can't read, and I can't write But that don't really matter 'Cause I've come up 'ere from Cornywall 'Cause I can drive a tractor. I worked for a time at a race circuit and drove a John Deere and a Massey Ferguson. They were both beat up, but better than a milk float any day!
Priceless, again. Oh see the Advertising Standards gang have banned BMW & MG Adverts that stated 'Zero Emissions'? How's the House of Lords going to cope with that.. 🤔🤭🤣🇬🇧
I’d be asking why the council who I am sure,like all councils, are pleading poverty are wasting YOUR council tax on EV chargers. Don’t worry Tony, won’t see caravans behind EVs because caravans muller the range and they don’t fit in EV charging points!
I can remember being in Cornwall with my C4 Picasso, which at one time was a big car, and as you just said both door mirrors touching the edge, but now it's a small car. Because so many cars have got wider.
Just for accuracy , mines a 27 year old 106 actually Tone. Most upset that i havent recieved my survey from they tusses up County Hall yet though , they are obviouly too cheeks deep snouts in trough at the moment!! This has to be your most spot on video yet , 100% accurate. Keep 'em coming boy.
My favourite saying is “If I ever see another camper van, it will be too soon”. I live in a small town which is a terminal to two RoRo ferry companies, so they all roll off and clog the streets, won’t (or can’t use their GPS/ Google maps on mobiles). I was driving a bus today when a camper drove out of a Give Way sign right in front of me. I rest my case! This was not an isolated case. Lots are hire vehicles, so they’ve never driven a diesel before, so don’t know that even modern diesels won’t pull away like their normal petrol vehicle.
Posted by someone else but love it and hits the nail on the head hard..... Reasons EV's Suck @jakefriesenjake 2 minutes ago 1. Child battery mineral labor 2. Range anxiety 3. Risk of garage fires 4. Paying 20k more than a comparable vehicle 5. every time you fuel up an EV, the fuel tank gets smaller and smaller. Battery degeneration. 6. Poor resale value 7. Reduced performance in cold, highway. 8. Higher repair costs 9. Awful charging network experiences in the weather without restrooms 10. Higher insurance rates 11. Replacing tires more frequently. Michelin states that tires wear out 20% faster on an Ev, and could be as high as 50% faster! Ev tires made for ev's, cost 20 to 30% more, than regular tires for ice cars. As Ev tires wear out, they leave behind more tiny particles of rubber than normal ice cars. This causes more pollution. 12. Death by autopilot 13. $25k - $35k battery 14. Low km range per tank of energy. 15. must wait in-line 1-2 hrs to charge. 16. Then wait more time to charge, while charging. 17. Spontaneous combustion, with no way to put out the fire storm. 18. If they catch fire in a tunnel, many people will die. 19. People without a pro charger system or a parking spot at their house, will run an extension cord to the road, which is dangerous and could lead to people tampering with your charging setup (super slow charging at the road) 20. If you're in California, you won't be able to charge your car past 4pm because of a shortage of electricity supply on the cheesy grid. 21. It is not actually "green". The pollution is made at the power station, not the car. 22. Only 5% of used junk batteries get recycled, the rest go directly into the bin. It's cheaper to mine for new minerals. 23. Chhinna actually does 70% of all the refining of the minerals and production of the batteries. 24. Minerals are becoming more and more scarce, and the cost will only go up, not down. 25. Some countries where they mine for lithium, actually use a very big boat load of fresh water to only produce a ton of lithium, so they are afraid of running out of water. It takes over 2 million liters of fresh clean water to produce 1 ton of lithium. 26. Ev cars will soon not be able to drive in tunnels or be able to park in underground parking garage and probably will eventually void your house insurance if you park it in your personal garage.... 27. You can't charge your battery at super stations when it is bitter cold out. 28. If a fire truck comes to put out an Ev fire, all the chemicals go directly into the sewer system, poisoning everything. They need tons of water to slow down the burn. They can't put them out. They are only trying to prevent over things near by from catching fire. 29. Ok, there is 2 good things; regenerative braking, which charges the battery while you are slowing down on the highway, which saves your brakes from much wear. 30. Loss of fuel tax revenue, so now the roads will only get worse, not better. 31. in Dublin, huge generators are being used to charge EV buses, due to electrical grid strain. buses in Athlone also cannot be put on charge until midnight, for the same reason. Bus Éireann is saying that they can't charge their buses until 11pm for the same reason, and to avail of a lower tariff. 32. Not everyone on earth even has electricity to charge their cars. What are they supposed to do in 2035? It's easy to get a bucket of fuel to power up a regular car. 33. VCE, or "vapour cloud explosion" is very bad. If any battery, typically anything larger than an E-scooter battery, and especially only "half" charged. If a problem occurs in the cells, it might not catch on fire right away. Instead, a cloud appears, and then may be ignited a short period afterwards. There are 2 different types of vapour clouds that appear; heavier and lighter than air, which form will be dominate, can not be predicted yet. This produces a bomm. 34. For Ev transport trucks, they aren't allowed to carry the same payload as a diesel truck, because of the massive weight of the battery. The owner of the Ev truck therefore loses potential profit, every day. They also lose more profit for the waiting times for charging that Ev truck. The driver will get paid to charge the truck, which in turn forces the owner of the truck to lose more money. 35. Ev cars are more likely to be written off, if they experience a minor collision. After the collision, something could have upset the structural integrity of the battery. 36. Ev cars lie to you. If you are bold enough to go out on a decent road trip and its 210 miles, one way, and your Ev tells you that your battery will last you 223 miles, there had better be no hills, or excessively cold out.... You'll probably get stranded, trying to get to the charger, at the end of the trip. Ev's have left many families stranded already. 37. Ev's and their batteries, will soon need their very own "passport". With all info about them when born, and current info about them (power output, resistance, mineral composition, etc.) 38. Thieves stealing charging cables, will soon make it impossible to "fuel" an Ev car. They take a long time to replace the cables, just to have them cut again for scrape money. 39. Cars were typically being made lighter and lighter using aluminum and or fiberglass and or carbon fiber, to reduce emissions and pollution. Ev's are only getting heavier and heavier, causing more pollution than ever. Remember, an ev's pollution is made at the power station and the dump, not at the actual Ev, except for the tire particles as mentioned above. Ev's (External combustion vehicles) suck, and it's a bridge to nowhere. But they do sometimes convert themselves into "internal combustion", but sadly, they can only do that 1 time.
you will be pleased to hear that there are 20 EV charge points within 10 miles of St Austell for us emmetts that pay you wages, love the vids gives me a good laugh
No no no...... Charge on the Beach near the low Tide mark, catch fire, Tide comes up, puts out fire while sweeping it into the Sea. Instant man-made Reef. Great for the fishing.. 😂😂😂
Why can’t people just go to the shops to buy milk like everywhere else in the world? U won’t have milk floats then ..are people so fkn lazy down where you are ? Love your videos from AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
I have questions 1 how many times did you film that without bursting into laughter 2 how long did it take to write that script ( the best so far by a long shot ) 😂😂😂😂
LOL! When you first said they parked on the beach, i assumed you meant on the road overlooking the beach. I never thought those Muppets would do that 😂😂😂
Are the new Tesla chargers at Hamburger hill next to the Maccy’s super chargers? I drive past there every day to get to work in Truro and it looks like loads on non EVs park in there on the chargers when Maccy’s car park it full! 😂 won’t be changing out my TDi Beetle anytime soon for a bleddy milkfloat! Keep up the good work buddy, Rick from just up the road from you in Stenalees
There's 2 chargers at Fraddon shopping centre...watched 4 cars waiting for two others being charged...problem is you will be fined £100 for parking longer than 3 hours!...that's cutting it fine.....Oh and there are also around a dozen or so Teslar chargers there...been there for several months now...just not been connected!
Hi Tony, See if you can get a survey going of how many mp's in the commons & Lords in the House of Lords own milk floats. That would make interesting reading.
Its been years when i was in Cornwall, i loved the people very friendly, first thing they ask is where you're from if the answer was London or around that part my god you are not welcome 😂 got to love the locals, they are soo chilled no rush that's what i like.
I can't remember getting up to 55mph...I just get to Veryan, leave the car, and do a pub crawl for a week. Did trust my satnav once using "quickest" route to get to Truro...never again. Maybe you need a referendum on devolution?
I sometimes wonder if our lass is advising this government with all these daft ideas. Firstly we don't have infrastructure to install all the charges that would be needed. Plus at a guess the country would need half a dozen new power stations to generate all the required megawatts. The other thing they haven't thought of, where's all the electric lorries coming from? Just think an electric 120 tonne mobile crane!! range per charge 18 mile, or an artic? The bloody delivery time won't be next day. The mind boggles at the stupidly.
I think it's a scandal that there are not enough milk-float chargers in Cornwall. We should welcome them with open arms. After all, if they can afford a £60,000 milk-float, then they can afford to spend lots of money in Cornwall when they visit. So, let's have enough chargers. They could be put in Trago Mills in Falmouth, with an exclusive "Emmetts Only", £2:50 per kilowatt rate; snd a shoo selling pastys, ice-cream, cream teas and £5 postcards with a picture of the charger on them. Provide a one-way street into Cornwall for EVs only. One car wide with its own tractor to cut 5mm off the hedges _ then another one-way EVs only route out over the Tamar Bridge with a special EVs only £10 charge to leave the Duchy. See? You're not the only one with good ideas Tony.

As for the practicality of my Mini Cooper Electric, its manufacturers stated range is 145 miles, (I get 120 miles of range in the winter, and 170 miles of range in the summer), and my regular longest round trips are just under 100 miles, (I'm an ex international HGV1 driver, so I've done "more than my fair share of driving" if yer call ONE MILLION MILES, in an articulated truck around a dozen European nations" driving), so I can do those just under 100 mile round trips, and get back to my local FREE EV charging point, "NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER", (even if, I was charging at home, my Mini Cooper Electric, would still be, far cheaper to run, than my old Mini Cooper ICE, that I sold when the Mini Cooper Electric replaced it, oh, and the Mini Cooper Electric, handles way better than the old Mini Cooper ICE ever did,), as I now do, the average UK motorists weekly mileage, of about 140 miles, I only need to charge up my Mini Cooper Electric, about ONCE PER WEEK, with FREE JUICE too, as for longer journeys, I recently did from my home, in London, to Lands End and back, which is about a 600 mile round trip, stopping to charge at, Amesbury, after 80 miles, only needing 20 kWh of a charge, so that was 1/2 hour of charging, Honiton, another 70 miles down the A303, for 17.5 kWh, 20 mins of charging, and Launceston, 60 miles down the road, needing just 15 kWh of juice, taking about 17 mins, so it took, about ONE HOUR in charging time, on a 300 mile journey from London to Lands End, (I used the Gridserve EV charger at Lands End, while I went for a bike of a hike, so that didn't impact on my journey time one bit and as I used Zap Map, I didnt even have to queue to use any of the EV charging points during the entire round trip) and on the way back, on the same day, those 20 to 30 min "kip breaks" meant I didnt arrive home in London, feeling "totally cream crackered", and once yer get, past the M25, and drive into London, "you really do need to be mentally right on the ball, with NO driver fatigue" as the Mini Cooper Electric, does 4 miles per kWh, in winter, with the heater, wipers and light on, it consumed 70 kWh of juice, on the outward London to Lands End leg of the trip, and "paying through the nose at 80p per kW, using 50 kW chargers en route" meant the outward journey cost me £56, meanwhile, "that font of pure EV gibberish, the Mac Master" would have consumed 116 kWh of energy, (as his Taycan only does about 2.4 miles per kW), doing the exact same journey, costing him an eye watering £93 for the same journey, AND if the Mac Master, used the exact same 50 kW chargers as I did, "I would have BEATEN him to Lands End by half an hour", so "the Mac Master, isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the box after all, hey".
I didn't even know they had electricity in Cornwall. Next you'll be telling us they've got inside toilets....
and carpet
@@farmerned6 Carpets are for girls mate. Up here in Cumbria we still use sawdust
Toilets have all been closed 😂
Do they still have clotted cream mines?😁😁
@@keithhooper6123 They must have else their children would have nowhere to work.
Perfect summing up . . . Brightens our day . Thank you.
I agree totally about milk floats: you should be in parliament! We’ll all be driving 25 year old cars shortly if the ban on ICE goes ahead, we’ll be like Cuba! Don’t knock tourists too much: they do provide business and jobs so it’s not all bad news. I live in the Lake District so I know what it’s like.
Thanks Tony, the comedy genius (consider your ego stroked)
Keep up the great work
Love the idea of beech chargers
I expect Devon, doesn't want them either 🤣🤣🤣🤣Future my arse
Can confirm for north devon
I think they should put them outside the local council offices
That's pretty much what has been done, no doubt free charging at work for Council bosses and I expect they claim milage at the highest ICE rate! Them's not daft!
You have missed a trick here, when they catch fire on the beach, instant barbecue, see your saving the planet 😂
This guy has literally thought more about the EV industry, then everyone in your Parliament
Than
This channel saves me going down to the pub to listen to patrons giving their opinions on god and the world.
Ya gotta love this guy!!!
"Snagnes", and "Snaustell" - brings back fond memories (used to live in Newquay, and work just up the road for the MOD (Nancekuke))! Don't forget, if Cornwall Council is installing those 250kW chargers, they'll also need to be building extra power stations to provide the juice. How will that go down with the locals?? 😀
Putting them on the beach is a stroke of genius - a nice combination of high voltage, and VERY conductive salt water. Is St Austell still the loading port for all the clay from the ECC mines?
We had a week in Cornwall last year, we have got a petrol golf and from leaving our house near Norwich until we got back home not once did it force us into some shit hole carpark while our life drained away, not once did it make us plan our journey, not once did it only let us fill it to 80%, not once did it force us into a dump of a supermarket in the arse end of nowhere to charge it up. The whole journey from start to finish was hassle free.
However the place we stayed at had around 10 apartments and they had some milk floaterists staying there, they were fucking about with extension leads out their apartment windows across the carpark trying to get some electric into the heaps of shit so they could go out and enjoy their holiday 😂.
On the whole we enjoyed Cornwall and enjoyed laughing at the EV owners wasting their holiday time.
One down side was we went to Padstow and tried Rick Steins take away fish and chips, they were crap.
I recently did, London to Lands End and back, (a 600 mile round trip) hassle free,
in my Mini Cooper Electric, (with a manufacturers stated range of 145 miles),
first stop, Amesbury Travelodge after 100 miles, B.P. Pulse charger, 25 minute charge up,
no queue to use EV charger too,
and its a short walk from there to the Solstice Services,
next stop B.P. Honiton 70 miles later, 20 mins charge up,
no queue there either,
and the same again at Strawberry Fields farm shop near Launceston,
no queue and ALL of the Pod Point chargers in perfect working order,
(I DOUBT if any EV drivers were "fucking about with extension leads"
as you CANNOT use extension leads, for EV charging,
so THAT graphically exposes yer anti EV BS in ONE GO,
and ONLY ACCORDING TO YOU, there were 10 apartments,
and PLURAL, i.e. "more than one" milk floaterist staying there,
so thats 2 out of 10, or 20% of the occupants had EVs,
hm, ONLY 3% of UK cars are EVs, so your MATHS doesnt make ANY SENSE at all,
as its an at least 7 times EXAGERATION isnt it, as that would make 21%)
oh, and as for the "costs" of running my Mini Cooper Electric,
99% of the time, I charge it up, for FREE at my local, 500 meters from my home,
FREE public EV charging point and I've been charging it up for FREE,
for almost 4 YEARS now, (there are THOUSANDS of FREE EV charging points in the UK)
I've done about 25,000 miles, and paid FUCK ALL for charging for THAT almost 25,000 miles
whenever I go past filling stations and SEE people "filling up with petrol or diesel"
I'm in tears over that, as those MUGS are actually paying for their road fuel, LOL.
@@organickevinlondon If you call that hassle free you need a check up from the neck up. Not once did our ICE car force us into a fucking carpark. Every minute of your life in those shit hole dump places is hassle you dont need to put up with with an ice car. It's bloody mental behaviour the bullshit EV owners will put up with.
@@organickevinlondon 🤣 ffs you call that hassle free, you need a check up from the neck up, not once did our ice car force us into a shit hole dump of a fucking carpark, every minute of your life wasted in those places is hassle.
As for extension leads across the carpark I can assure you they were twatting about trying to get electric into the heaps of shit, it's like the grid serve near me, I pass it at least once a week and I can gaurantee poor bastards will be sitting in that dump of a place right now while their life is fading away, whenever I drive past it they are sitting there like lemmings, just staring out the windows miserable as fuck just waiting and waiting and waiting to die.
All across the country now EV drivers are sitting around in fucking carparks. They are honestly mental to put up with the bullshit. Nothing in life is worth sitting in a carpark for, especially just to charge a heap of shit box on wheels up.
@@ADYDRURY1234 yer just "PISSED OFF" that I've totally exposed yer anti EV BS, and NONE of those EV charging points were "shitholes" either, in fact NONE of the EV charging points are shitholes, anyway, "I'm 100% SURE that you fully enjoy, indirectly funding that SHITHOLE that is Saudi Arabia, EVERY TIME you fill up" LOL "ENJOY" hey,.
@organickevinlondon I have got an EV mini with a laughably pathetic range and when I went on holiday it only forced into this shit hole carpark for 25 minutes, then a few miles later it forced into this dump of a carpark for 20 minutes, then a few miles later my car made me go into this scummy carpark for 19.5 minutes, then a few miles later it forced me into another fucking carpark and luckily the charger was available so I only had to waste 36 minutes of my life. 🤣 hassle free journey 🤣🤣👍
Everytime I go past a public charger and see all the poor bastards sitting there stuck on the end of a cable it makes me smile knowing how gullible some people are.
I have been fitting domestic chargers since 2012 and one thing I have learned over the years is EV owners will accept any old bullshit, they are so easy to rip off. If I say I think these are the best chargers and these are the best EV's they lap it up, those words alone are worth at least another £100 on their bill.
One thing I do know for certain is EV owners fucking love carparks and scummy roadside services. "I needed a toilet break anyway" 😂
There is some EV loser on here who walks backwards and forwards to a supermarket carpark to charge his car up, drops it off and then walks home, sits around like a lemming then walks back to collect it, I was going to find out his address and send him a dog lead so he can take his EV for a walk, what a waste of life. I can see his gravestone now, here rests the EV owner who wasted his life walking to and from a supermarket carpark. You honestly couldn't make it up how fucking sad some of these EV owners are. I will be back soon, just dropping the car off at the shitty supermarket carpark AGAIN.
And I can assure you the EV retards were twatting about with extension leads across the carpark, one day we saw one of the familes sitting in their car in a tescos carpark, fully grown adults with their kids being forced by a crap tin box on wheels to waste valuable time of their holiday in a bloody tescos carpark going nowhere. EV owners are honeslty not fucking right in the head.
Genius solution!!
"Every millimeter counts"
I'm sure you've been told that a number of times.... 😆
Genius! And I come from Kent so I am billions of miles away! And better still I don't drive so I can't bring my car!
When I was building The Channel Tunnel I was taught a song by a Scotsman who worked with me, which has stuck with me for the last 30 odd years. Sung in a gravelly, throaty, cider blanched voice, with long vowels, as I imagine you all sound like down there:
I can't read, and I can't write
But that don't really matter
'Cause I've come up 'ere from Cornywall
'Cause I can drive a tractor.
I worked for a time at a race circuit and drove a John Deere and a Massey Ferguson. They were both beat up, but better than a milk float any day!
Priceless, again. Oh see the Advertising Standards gang have banned BMW & MG Adverts that stated 'Zero Emissions'? How's the House of Lords going to cope with that.. 🤔🤭🤣🇬🇧
I’d be asking why the council who I am sure,like all councils, are pleading poverty are wasting YOUR council tax on EV chargers.
Don’t worry Tony, won’t see caravans behind EVs because caravans muller the range and they don’t fit in EV charging points!
There is a government fund to allow councils to install chargers.
It's not coming out of council tax!
We're still paying for it, whichever tax pots it's coming from.@@bryanduncan6178
I can remember being in Cornwall with my C4 Picasso, which at one time was a big car, and as you just said both door mirrors touching the edge, but now it's a small car. Because so many cars have got wider.
Its a bad job when you cant get pasty. (see what I did there)
Another top quality review 😂 future my arse
Great show.
Just for accuracy , mines a 27 year old 106 actually Tone. Most upset that i havent recieved my survey from they tusses up County Hall yet though , they are obviouly too cheeks deep snouts in trough at the moment!! This has to be your most spot on video yet , 100% accurate. Keep 'em coming boy.
😂And Generate electricity from the ocean waves to charge them... the technology already exists!!!
Your monologues are up there with the two Ronnie's....so worth listening to
That’s a bloody BRILLIANT idea!
My favourite saying is “If I ever see another camper van, it will be too soon”.
I live in a small town which is a terminal to two RoRo ferry companies, so they all roll off and clog the streets, won’t (or can’t use their GPS/ Google maps on mobiles). I was driving a bus today when a camper drove out of a Give Way sign right in front of me. I rest my case!
This was not an isolated case. Lots are hire vehicles, so they’ve never driven a diesel before, so don’t know that even modern diesels won’t pull away like their normal petrol vehicle.
Brilliant.
Your comments are as much fun as the video. Good sense of humor ;I think i will come down for a holiday in my old banger.

Reasons EV's Suck
@jakefriesenjake
2 minutes ago
1. Child battery mineral labor
2. Range anxiety
3. Risk of garage fires
4. Paying 20k more than a
comparable vehicle
5. every time you fuel up an EV, the fuel tank gets smaller and smaller. Battery degeneration.
6. Poor resale value
7. Reduced performance in
cold, highway.
8. Higher repair costs
9. Awful charging network
experiences in the weather
without restrooms
10. Higher insurance rates
11. Replacing tires more
frequently. Michelin states that tires wear out 20% faster on an Ev, and could be as high as 50% faster! Ev tires made for ev's, cost 20 to 30% more, than regular tires for ice cars. As Ev tires wear out, they leave behind more tiny particles of rubber than normal ice cars. This causes more pollution.
12. Death by autopilot
13. $25k - $35k battery
14. Low km range per tank of energy.
15. must wait in-line 1-2 hrs
to charge.
16. Then wait more time to charge, while charging.
17. Spontaneous combustion, with no way to put out the fire storm.
18. If they catch fire in a tunnel, many people will die.
19. People without a pro charger system or a parking spot at their house, will run an extension cord to the road, which is dangerous and could lead to people tampering with your charging setup (super slow charging at the road)
20. If you're in California, you won't be able to charge your car past 4pm because of a shortage of electricity supply on the cheesy grid.
21. It is not actually "green". The pollution is made at the power station, not the car.
22. Only 5% of used junk batteries get recycled, the rest go directly into the bin. It's cheaper to mine for new minerals.
23. Chhinna actually does 70% of all the refining of the minerals and production of the batteries.
24. Minerals are becoming more and more scarce, and the cost will only go up, not down.
25. Some countries where they mine for lithium, actually use a very big boat load of fresh water to only produce a ton of lithium, so they are afraid of running out of water. It takes over 2 million liters of fresh clean water to produce 1 ton of lithium.
26. Ev cars will soon not be able to drive in tunnels or be able to park in underground parking garage and probably will eventually void your house insurance if you park it in your personal garage....
27. You can't charge your battery at super stations when it is bitter cold out.
28. If a fire truck comes to put out an Ev fire, all the chemicals go directly into the sewer system, poisoning everything. They need tons of water to slow down the burn. They can't put them out. They are only trying to prevent over things near by from catching fire.
29. Ok, there is 2 good things; regenerative braking, which charges the battery while you are slowing down on the highway, which saves your brakes from much wear.
30. Loss of fuel tax revenue, so now the roads will only get worse, not better.
31. in Dublin, huge generators are being used to charge EV buses, due to electrical grid strain. buses in Athlone also cannot be put on charge until midnight, for the same reason. Bus Éireann is saying that they can't charge their buses until 11pm for the same reason, and to avail of a lower tariff.
32. Not everyone on earth even has electricity to charge their cars. What are they supposed to do in 2035? It's easy to get a bucket of fuel to power up a regular car.
33. VCE, or "vapour cloud explosion" is very bad. If any battery, typically anything larger than an E-scooter battery, and especially only "half" charged. If a problem occurs in the cells, it might not catch on fire right away. Instead, a cloud appears, and then may be ignited a short period afterwards. There are 2 different types of vapour clouds that appear; heavier and lighter than air, which form will be dominate, can not be predicted yet. This produces a bomm.
34. For Ev transport trucks, they aren't allowed to carry the same payload as a diesel truck, because of the massive weight of the battery. The owner of the Ev truck therefore loses potential profit, every day. They also lose more profit for the waiting times for charging that Ev truck. The driver will get paid to charge the truck, which in turn forces the owner of the truck to lose more money.
35. Ev cars are more likely to be written off, if they experience a minor collision. After the collision, something could have upset the structural integrity of the battery.
36. Ev cars lie to you. If you are bold enough to go out on a decent road trip and its 210 miles, one way, and your Ev tells you that your battery will last you 223 miles, there had better be no hills, or excessively cold out.... You'll probably get stranded, trying to get to the charger, at the end of the trip. Ev's have left many families stranded already.
37. Ev's and their batteries, will soon need their very own "passport". With all info about them when born, and current info about them (power output, resistance, mineral composition, etc.)
38. Thieves stealing charging cables, will soon make it impossible to "fuel" an Ev car. They take a long time to replace the cables, just to have them cut again for scrape money.
39. Cars were typically being made lighter and lighter using aluminum and or fiberglass and or carbon fiber, to reduce emissions and pollution. Ev's are only getting heavier and heavier, causing more pollution than ever. Remember, an ev's pollution is made at the power station and the dump, not at the actual Ev, except for the tire particles as mentioned above.
Ev's (External combustion vehicles) suck, and it's a bridge to nowhere. But they do sometimes convert themselves into "internal combustion", but sadly, they can only do that 1 time.
I’m from wales I’m down your way every year,the farmers are the best for pulling over I never knock them.
you will be pleased to hear that there are 20 EV charge points within 10 miles of St Austell for us emmetts that pay you wages, love the vids gives me a good laugh
No no no......
Charge on the Beach near the low Tide mark, catch fire, Tide comes up, puts out fire while sweeping it into the Sea. Instant man-made Reef.
Great for the fishing..
😂😂😂
Why can’t people just go to the shops to buy milk like everywhere else in the world? U won’t have milk floats then ..are people so fkn lazy down where you are ? Love your videos from AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
Stopped at Exeter services. Counted 24 Gridserve and 36 Tesla chargers. Enough for whole of Devon and Cornwall.
Im a EMIT with a campervan but this is brilliant like all the rest of your vids. Please continue. .
I have questions
1 how many times did you film that without bursting into laughter
2 how long did it take to write that script ( the best so far by a long shot ) 😂😂😂😂
LOL! When you first said they parked on the beach, i assumed you meant on the road overlooking the beach. I never thought those Muppets would do that 😂😂😂
We don't want them in Devon either. Torbay council have decided to put in 37 but increased the parking charge. Move it to Somerset.
Are the new Tesla chargers at Hamburger hill next to the Maccy’s super chargers? I drive past there every day to get to work in Truro and it looks like loads on non EVs park in there on the chargers when Maccy’s car park it full! 😂 won’t be changing out my TDi Beetle anytime soon for a bleddy milkfloat! Keep up the good work buddy, Rick from just up the road from you in Stenalees
Tony you are spot on? Great work mate. Cheers Steve
Got a mate who leased a BMW M60 ev but has rejected it as it had 28 different faults! And that's on a 100k+ car.
What a happy little man you are, so I know where I’m going in the summer with my e v 😂😂
brilliant NAGE,another good belly laugh.🫶🙏✌️🏴
The comedy gold just keeps on giving, love it...
I may have mentioned this before but I drive a Suzuki Carry 1.3 van. Ideal for Cornwall.
There's 2 chargers at Fraddon shopping centre...watched 4 cars waiting for two others being charged...problem is you will be fined £100 for parking longer than 3 hours!...that's cutting it fine.....Oh and there are also around a dozen or so Teslar chargers there...been there for several months now...just not been connected!
Brilliant 👍
Had to go back to watch the Hitler video two times today, just brilliant. 😂😂😂😂😂
Ten miles out to sea connectted directly to a wind turbine?
Keep it up my friend, you have honed sarcasm to a new level🤣
Seawater and electricity, match made in heaven, or hell. Still you can sunbathe and eat icecream while it charges.
Your EV owner impression was very much like Arkwright in Open All Hours 😂😂
Absolutely hilarious Tony, can't believe they've stuck a super charger in dead rough 🤣
Clever sods, today's news the council has to charge the maximum tax because their almost bankrupt.
I remember my time in Boswinger and the emmetts used to moan about the roads. Why don't they put motorways in they said! WTF
Hi Tony, See if you can get a survey going of how many mp's in the commons & Lords in the House of Lords own milk floats. That would make interesting reading.
When I lived in Dorset, we called the Holiday Makers ‘Grockles’.
Its been years when i was in Cornwall, i loved the people very friendly, first thing they ask is where you're from if the answer was London or around that part my god you are not welcome 😂 got to love the locals, they are soo chilled no rush that's what i like.
You are simply the Best 👏👏👏👏
Really good video.
What a laugh. I agree with every word
I will never again go to cormwall as they have just followed Wales and rolled out the 20mph limit across the county.
You're starting to become the highlight of my day 😂Yeah Devon 😂😂😂😂
I can't remember getting up to 55mph...I just get to Veryan, leave the car, and do a pub crawl for a week.
Did trust my satnav once using "quickest" route to get to Truro...never again.
Maybe you need a referendum on devolution?
Should be on stage. Very funny.
Any bets the council will decide to spend millions of our money to install chargers for the locals who can't afford 30k + dogems
I used to find I could get round Cornwall just fine on my motorcycle!
St. Austell is a lovely place to live, I think.
Paris, Paris sounds like a good place to put the milk float chargers. That's if they can get that far 🤣🤣🤣
I sometimes wonder if our lass is advising this government with all these daft ideas. Firstly we don't have infrastructure to install all the charges that would be needed. Plus at a guess the country would need half a dozen new power stations to generate all the required megawatts.
The other thing they haven't thought of, where's all the electric lorries coming from? Just think an electric 120 tonne mobile crane!! range per charge 18 mile, or an artic? The bloody delivery time won't be next day. The mind boggles at the stupidly.
I bet your council spending all your council tax on these chargers makes you feel all warm and gooey inside 😂
Couldn't the scrapped beached ev 's be dragged out to sea and sunk to create an artificial reef......everyone's a winner !
And then you get charged to extract the milk float from the beach! Neat!!!
Great rant. EV's are a dead end.
You said it at 3.34!
"Cornwall Council, ere in Cornwall" ...... sheeeeesh
To be fair, our air is regularly washed!
I think it's a scandal that there are not enough milk-float chargers in Cornwall. We should welcome them with open arms. After all, if they can afford a £60,000 milk-float, then they can afford to spend lots of money in Cornwall when they visit. So, let's have enough chargers. They could be put in Trago Mills in Falmouth, with an exclusive "Emmetts Only", £2:50 per kilowatt rate; snd a shoo selling pastys, ice-cream, cream teas and £5 postcards with a picture of the charger on them.
Provide a one-way street into Cornwall for EVs only. One car wide with its own tractor to cut 5mm off the hedges _ then another one-way EVs only route out over the Tamar Bridge with a special EVs only £10 charge to leave the Duchy.
See? You're not the only one with good ideas Tony.
Should have them at the base of each off shore wind turbine.
Love it !
In somerset the grockels get stuck in the mud not the sand, Burnham is favorite.
So charging stations should have fire walls between the charge bays.
I also thought 'The Beach'
We dont want them in Devon either! 😂😅
At that point Hitler had no future but that was the funniest thing i have seen in years. BTW the wisps of smoke coming up around your head in this video are reminiscent of 40s movies but I stress Do Not make you look like Cary Grant LOL
Do they still use milk floats at Polperro.
👍
well spottef salt water is effectiv at stopping battery fires
Interesting pictures, all the cars were Audi and BMW! Does that say anything?
