Driving's a beach
The Sun has told us we can run our cars on sand!
I live near the beach so I thought I'd be laughing – but no, it's only a special kind of sand found in Canada and Venezuela, and it probably won't be commercially available for a long time.
Meanwhile, I'm sure there are many other forms of alternative fuel out there and here are a few of my innovative ideas that I will be working on in my shed in the very near future.
- My boyfriend's football socks – they can walk by themselves so, they must be able to power something.
- My little brother's hamster – it goes round and round and round and…
- Harnessing the collective disappointment in British sport – Murray at Wimbledon, The Lions in South Africa, the under 21s against Germany in the European Championships and don't forget the Ashes are coming. That should be good for a bit more disillusionment.
- Dog Poo – there is so much of it about, surely someone can make it useful for something.
- Chocolate – I'm going to stockpile a large supply of Mars, Snickers and M&Ms and find a way to make them power my Punto. And if I can't… well, I'll just have to eat the evidence of my inability to solve the world's energy problems.
