recent conversation with 4 Germans one of whom was a parts manufacturer went along those lines and they stated the dirty diesel problem had tarnished the German name. They were not happy bunnies

I think per head of capita Australia is by far the most polluting country - open cast mines etc.....
When you go there they're all green environmental hippies - which is a nice way to be if you can afford it, which of course they can because they're all making a fortune driving trucks in the mines

In the world of environmental vandals, Dr Thomas Midgley has more to answer for than most, he was responsible for Lead in petrol and CFCs.
He contracted polio and died when a pulley system he invented for lifting himself out of bed failed and strangled him.
