Thalidomide was approved at one point

I think the Western world has learnt from Thalidomide & no longer has the "who gives a stuff what we put into the atmosphere attitude"..we are moving on.

We are all polluters, every one of us, its a case of making an effort, which is why I spent $14,000 on a high tech outboard motor, instead of persisting with the "old" 2 stroke.

Of course, you were not floating, were you?

Knockers as a prime mover were a real pain on those steep climbs on the main highways of 40-50 years ago. Pretty Sally, Moonbi, Liverpool Range, Toll Bar, Bulahdelah Hill with the hairpin bend to slow you down to a walk, et al.

A Qld. Main Roads engineer tells me that the standard for Main Roads Dept. works now is maximum 10% grade.He says in Qld, Cunningham's Gap, Toowoomba Range, and a section of the Gillies are all on the 10% limit for short sections with around 100 metres of the Gillies still at 12%, it being deemed not of economic benefit to reduce this. I read this as being "will cost too much".
