Reasons for transport requests to the clinic quotations

I’m under the doctor and can’t breathe. I can’t walk to the bus stop and my wife is bent. I can’t breathe and haven’t done so for years. I live five miles from the clinic and the postman says I should have it. I have got arthritis and heart failure in both feet and knees. I am unable to walk now as my dog has died. I cannot drive a car because I haven’t got one. My husband’s dead and won’t bring me. I need transport as I have funny feet. If my mum goes out alone she gets into trouble. I must have your man as I cannot go out or even do up my suspenders. When your man brings me back could you ask him to drop me off at the White Swan. I hope you will send your driver as my husband is quite useless. My wife must have transport as she is over 80 and drives me mad. I cannot walk up a hill unless it is down and the hill to your clinic is up. I want transport as bus drivers do funny things to me and make me feel queer.
 

Water fueled concept car

Hyundai taps into water fueled concept car
Nicolas Stone, a recent graduate of the College for Creative Studies, has created his vision of the city car of the future and Hyundai is financially supporting the project.
The body of the car consists of transparent solar panels. Electricity created is then fed into a water tank to split the hydrogen from the oxygen. Hydrogen is then stored and used to power the vehicle, while pure oxygen is a by-product emitted from the exhaust
As a part of his design project, Nicolas created a four-seater city car of the future.  According to Nicolas, the whole body of the car consists of transparent solar panels which create electricity. The electricity is then fed into a water tank to split the hydrogen from the oxygen. The hydrogen is stored and used to power the vehicle while the pure oxygen comes out of the exhaust.
The idea of going for an afternoon drive to El Chorro lakes, fill up the tank and then sunbathing for a few hours to recharge the batteries sounds superb but whether we will ever see this rolled out for large scale use remains to be seen.
