Maybe I was just a little tired, but the ‘missing’ MOT certificate turned up. It was simply me reading the expiry date wrong. It expired 31 Dec 2005 and I was reading it as 2004….total dipstick.
Panic over.

As I sat in the queue on my way to work this morning I was wondering when people of the future look back at the history of human development, would think our behaviour damaging and wasteful. Would they consider us to have been irresponsible to have had millions of cars burning all the oil, with millions of people every day driving miles to sit in an office at a computer terminal, or sit in a meeting, when they could do the same thing from home or a much nearer tech village.
Would they look at global warming and climatic change, the destruction, pollution and poisoning of the environment and curse us for being ignorant greedy selfish bastards.
Maybe not – perhaps they would excuse our ignorance and carry on unswervingly on the path to the destruction of the human species. We will just become the excuse for the proliferation of pollution and the rape of the planet in the name of greed and corporate growth.
Perhaps when all the planets resources are nearing exhaustion then the corporate giant will look at forming an intergalactic ‘East India’ company and then we can have the joys of polluting and raping other planets, possibly with a bit of luck other civilisations!!
The future is bright.
