    Someone really needs to change his twitter password. 

    How he thinks these sort of actions are in any way justified I think it beyond the comprehension of 99% of humans.

  7. Is electric really the answer

    Thanks Mike. I think I'll buy a charger as you say and get one of the local sparks in the village to fit, there are 2 who are friends in my street and another locally too so that should be easy enough. I did think that the ones I've seen with the grant seemed pretty pricy. 

    I'm with BG at the moment and they do have an EV tariff but it makes the daytime rate pretty chunky so will switch to Octopus and set a charge schedule for overnight. With my driving profile, I should only need to charge it once a week unless I've some work trips but getting that at 4p overnight seems pretty sweet.

    Not a very nice view for the church goers. 🙂

    I thought they were meant to go on the inside!

    That last photo is an outrage - I assume thats either a Saxon or Norman church.  May as well convert it to a Macdonalds now for that lorry park

    Norman I believe from the 12th century. It's a very nice church, very similar to the one in my village from the same times.

    There's one about 100 yards away, and the beautiful town of Ashford is soon to open the doors on their 4th! 

    There is a burger van at the Lorry Park. He's probably expecting the promised 1,700 lorries that can fit there but he's just got a freezer full of shit burgers going off instead now!

    With the numbers as they are, clearly it wasn't £10bn well spent and hasn't worked anyway! I asked in my local PO the other day if anyone was scanning the QR code still and they said not for a month or so. If it were a legal requirement to scan before entry, I'm sure it may have worked a little better than it did but with everyone ignoring it, it was a waste of time and money.

    Hi - I'm in charge of the shop, we're not Amazon, it's just me here! I'm back from the Christmas break now and am investigating the missing package as discussed via email during the break. I'll be making a claim against the courier if it's lost and will resend your Certificate and merch if it is properly lost and not just snagged up somewhere causing this delay. SIngapore usually takes a couple of weeks but with Covid and Christmas things are taking a little longer than usual. Apologies that it's taking a while longer than expected.

    I've never invested in BTC, don't have the balls as it can be very volatile at best! Just checked the price and it's down 12% today back to close to the above again after getting to £32k!
