They really are green

Here in the UK the Government have taken 5 minutes out of ruining everything they touch and turned their attention to promoting electric vehicle sales. Better for the environment, less air pollution, and all that.

Anyway, for a change they have come up with a good idea. They're considering electric cars to be allowed to fit green registration plates, instead of the standard white/front and yellow/rears. It'll cost no more than the normal plates, won t cost the Government anything, but people will be attracted to it as a "badge of honour", a visual symbol that they are at the cutting edge. It'll be keeping up with the Jones's, but in a good way.

I reckon it might just work. What do you folks reckon?
