You have missed out the fact that Toyota is the No.1 money making King with its strategy, but I expected that............🤗

Currently. But it remains to be seen long term if EV adoption continues. The more successful EVs become the less successful Toyota will become - it is inevitable as they are years behind hence their investment in PR and lobbying against EVs.

Time will tell.

I agree it's OK to make mistakes in life but it's bloody unacceptable to belittle another person because you assume the wrong meaning to their comment. 

 

Too many people here too quickly to reply with hostility and nasty comments. 

 

Shows that some people haven't bloody grown up. 

 

So many Miserable people, they want everyone to be miserable. 

 

So I go out for a few hours, come back and expected this to be dead and buried.........but you're still going. Hilarious.

No you don't know that at all...oils and additives do not produce the black smoke that you have no idea whether that pickup produced.  Neither is there any evidence that the vehicle was chipped, nor that the owner is a moron.  On the other hand, your comment doesn't do you any intellectual favours.

Woo hoo, I got pedantic Lou'd! My day is complete.

I never said the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre solar panels were Chinese. 

 

What's wrong with you bloody people, read the comment, use a translation tool if English is not your first language. 

 

Bloody hell, what's wrong with people here? 

 

Peoplejust want to jump in and say people are stupid. 

 

Grow up people. 

 

 

Good idea, I ran it by a translation tool. Chat GPT 4-o, released to great fanfare yesterday.  Just popped your entire post in and asked it what it thought:

 

It is reasonable to infer that the author of the statement is suggesting that the solar panels involved in the fire at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre were Chinese. This inference is based on the structure and wording of the statement:

1. The initial statement claims, "Chinese solar panels are catching on fire."
2. This is followed by mentioning a specific incident, "Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre 'all the solar panels on the roof' caught fire."
3. The use of these statements in succession implies a connection between the general assertion about Chinese solar panels and the specific incident at the Aquatic Centre.
    

So much easier to just say you made a mistake, we all do from time to time. If your prejudices lead you to believe anything electrical that catches fire must be Chinese that's ok. Just stop digging.

Anyway, I've enjoyed this, no need to continue further, you are really quite hilarious, and watching you get more and more flustered trying to unsay what you said - rather than just admitting a mistake - has been classic.

Paragraphs were invented for a reason. As were full stops.

No, you didn't. Safety First did and I proved him wrong by saying they were BP solar panels manufactured in Australia. When you then replied that BP closed its solar division in 2011 I assumed you were trying to support him that they couldn't be BP panels as they closed 13 years ago. Otherwise why else would you post that?

If you weren't suggesting that then fair enough.

CHINESE SOLAR PANELS CATCH ON FIRE 

 

Do you have a hearing problem? 

 

So by saying "Chinese solar panels are catching on fire. Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre "all the solar panels on the roof" caught fire." you weren't implying those solar panels were Chinese??

Seriously, just admit you made a wrong assumption or a mistake, that's fine. But by trying to wriggle out of what you clearly said, well, you are just an obvious troll and no point in continuing a discussion. What you wrote is clear for anyone to see, or, erm, hear.

BP closed its Solar business in 2011

Yes, they did. And?  The aquatic centre in question was built for the 2000 Sydney Olympics and used BP Solar panels. They still aren't Chinese, they were still made in Australia.

Er, what?

You said:

"Chinese solar panels are catching on fire. 

Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre "all the solar panels on the roof" caught fire."

Do you have that short a memory?
