| 1478023 | 2021-06-20 07:26:00 | The Tesla at least isn't too bad. When I first got it, it was a bit distracting and had to learn to navigate the car UI. But after a while you sort of get used to it. The auto night mode shift that it has helps a lot, and the dark UI is nice and easy on the eyes. I have a friend who is an auto electrician who has now repaired 2 Tesla's and has sworn never to work on another one due to the very substandard in his words build quality. If the car had never been invented the world might have been totally knee deep in horse shite? Ken Good for your roses or rhubarb. |

Ken :) When I was living in Wellington in the 50s the milkman delivered the milk by horse and cart and he had a bag below the horse's tail to catch the shite. Horses, like most other animals, just shite wherever and whenever so it was easier to have a shite bag than stop to shovel it up. It was great to watch the milk cart go past. The milkman would say "walk on" and the horse would walk for a short way and then stop and wait for the next "walk on." As the cart moved there was the loud clattering of the roller behind one of the rear wheels. When the cart was on a slope the cart would roll back when the horse stopped so the roller stopped the cart from rolling back any further. |

Ken :) If you read what Euro city streets were like before cars and trams , its a horror show. Not just poop, but dead horses left on the streets . Some streets had Huge mounds of poop & trash . Knee high boots were popular for this reason, and brown coloured overcoats . |

You can train any animal to **** in certain areas, but horses in cities? Well sooner or later . . . . Anyway the humans back then were emptying chamber pots out windows then . |
