I see in a BBC article Man United and others are getting criticism for flying to away matches even when the journey by road is only 80 miles.
I am proud to say my club would not get involved in such environmentally destructive practices.

Its shocking from Man U. I know for sure everyone at Cop26 has walked all over the world to get there, and not came in private jets and also brought military motorcades.

Funny, the normal folk are told how THEY must stop climate change despite not causing it. Yet the big corporations and rich folk seem to crack on as normal?

I went by plane to Exeter and to Swansea away games with the team back in the Gibson era.

Went to Lisbon a few years back with the Company for a long weekend and as there were about 60 of us, we had to go on 2 separate flights, in case the plane crashed and we were all perished!

Got the short straw and was on 2nd flight which landed at Oporto (for refuelling, so had to get out of plane) and got to Lisbon about 3 hours after the 1st flight.

Same happened on return flight with a stop at Oporto.

4 flights when 2 would have done.

I see HS2 expansion to Leeds has been cancelled so that means a boost to Leeds/ Bradford Airport.

COP(26) that!

I suspect that most people have took no notice of COP 26 whatsoever.
However, when they find they can’t replace their gas boiler in a few years time then they’ll wake up. It’s always the little things that bugger the grand things up.

As a token gesture the lads get the number 36 bus from Greatham International Airport back to The Suits Direct Stadium.

Was in Darlo last week and popped in a pub called the Slaters Arms for a pint, decked out in Man Utd memorabilia on the walls and ceiling, what's that all about?

do not worry. there will be someone somewhere who will buy as many of those boilers as they can, re furb them and join the black economy. the same will happen for diesel cars in the future. anything thats banned or illegal there will be ways to find what you want.

Even worse is that Tesco has reduced the range of its own brand wines which are generally cheaper and have increased the price of the others by 50p to £1.00.
Greedy bustards for such an essential item.
