What should The yaught be made of? Wood? That comes from trees, moron.

Yep, making it out of wood would be better. Making something out of load of carbon fibre and fibreglass that can only transport one person is not "environmentally friendly".

It's a bit tricky for the other 44 million a year that cross the Atlantic in a more conventional way too, especially those that can't afford to take a month out to do it.

Foopin hell the idiots are out today
Ever heard of ‘economy of scale’
The set up and tooling costs for 44 million CF yaughts would easily be amortised over such a big production run, and as for the long journey- people can do video conferencing on board

Of course, I think I may invest in carbon hull futures, although I don't think everyone will need their own individual yaught [sic] and I think they could possibly time-share, this may bring it down to only 5 million needed perhaps.
VC would be great, although reception may be an issue and Inmarsat may have to catapult a few more satellites [can't use rockets, terrible for environment] up there to cope.
With all this help for the environment to heal itself it may calm that nausea inducing foul weather as well.

Off to see my broker.

Article about the prosecution of the arresters on Waterloo bridge, does a conditional discharge show on a criminal record check?

Yes for 3 years. Should be fun when these vanilla protestors renew/take out car/house/travel insurance and get automatically rejected on comparison sites. Should also be interested if they want a job or want to volunteer with anything that sniffs at a DBS.

Yes let's just ignore the fact that they are flying the six normal crew of the boat to the states to sail it back you have to love these eco-jokers

They were hardly going to sent 6 yaughts out to NY with the original boats normal crew on to sail the boat back were they. Then they’d need to send 36 yaughts out to bring those ones back. Then 216 yaughts to bring them back. Then 1296, then 7776 etc. Can you hear me!?

Would it not be better for the environment if she just flew over therefore saving the fuel for the 5 other people?

‘Yaught’?

How’d that get by your spellchecker?

Let me just examine my plans a little.

I am going to move to Spain. I am still going to work globally, but predominantly in the UK. I will mainly commute to the UK on a weekly basis. It will save me about £2000 a month to live in the sun at weekends.

I will destroy the climate by sitting on a seat in a plane that was already going there with my previously empty seat, making all those emissions each week. Just like the ones that the climate activities sit on every week furthering their cause on longer journeys.

In the intervening decades while. My kids and grandkids are growing up, the predictions that were made 30 years ago that failed to materialise in their predicted outcomes will either be modified as they have been historically to suit the cause, or some clever person in science will do something spectacular like inventing an electric plane that is run by massively climate hostile batteries and charged by horribly dirty generation methods as is the case with human ingenuity to change it longer term.

I say fk ‘em. I am gonna save 2k a month and get sunburned by the pool at the villa with a cold lager at the weekends. I may also take my V8 boat with me to enjoy in the sun while they sit in the road in Bristol eating lentils.

One life, not a dress rehearsal.

[alfaman]

Curious - how does it save you 2k/ month to live in the sun at weekends?

sub let on air bnb?

The boat was going anyway I suppose (?)

I am curious as to how she is getting back though?

Swim/ walk on water / magic carpet?

oh wait.....

Climate change is the new religion on the block. The majority that follow the religion do so blindly. Greta the gobste is the high priestess at the moment.

Current outgoings of 5.5k a month reduce to 3.5k a month.

In summary. We flog this place, buy a 3 bed 2 bath detached villa in 500 sq mtrs for £150k out of equity, no mortgage. Community fees are 10% of UK poll tax. Pretty much everything we eat except cheese and chicken is cheaper outside of tourist areas. 25 minutes from the beach. 2 months winter bills, 30 degrees the rest of the time. Horrible.

Good wine at the local bodega is 90c a litre. Fags £4 a pack. That’ll save a fortune a month

Except celebrities on their yachts and private jets, because it's totally different when they do it.

Of course! Zil lanes ftw.

A carbon fibre yacht is fun, particularly for greenies (including seasick people of all ages) given that recycling carbon fibre is very difficult and when achieved requires approx 14x more energy than steel production.

On that subject, our eco-concious royals have gone back to the more convenient means of travel

Do as we say not as we do is another common trait of the new religion preachers, it's part of the hypocrisy brief.

Well I hope the new Hugo Boss causes you even more angst.

Nowhere did I mention having angst. Angst is not with me.

False assumption n+1 in a long list.

What relevance is your comparison to steel btw?
