@morgan that’s just a cheeky, bored designer who probably can’t believe the artwork and design got approved.

As we move towards a transport strategy which is no longer to be based on fuels derived from oil, we will actually need a universal series of icons to describe what fuel each vehicle takes.
What symbol, for example, would you expect for a car using methane from food waste and chicken poop? 🤔

Givenergy posted a pic of Ed Milligan’s Miliband's visiting their showroom. A picture of confusion to me. It’s like he was expecting cookies and chips, but it turns out ‘energy bars’ here just don’t satisfy the same way.”

I think that's Miliband, rather than Milligan @editor 😊
And for those who don't know, he's Shadow Minister for Energy Security & Net Zero...
hence the relevance of him visiting an energy-based company as we're in the run up to a General Election.
His brother, David, is CEO of International Rescue Committee.
So if he were to show up, then the world's in greater trouble than we might've supposed.

@transparent 🤣 Bloody autocomplete. It thinks it always knows butter better.
