Even without home charging, I’m seeing fast chargers at around 60p/unit now, roughly equivalent to diesel at £2 - but yeah, poor choice if you can’t ever charge at home and do 1k miles/week
Why did this 2024 Polestar 2 owner switch back to diesel? Covering up to 50,000 miles a year is a serious challenge. After frustrating real-world winter range drops and £320 tyre bills, this high-mileage driver gave up on their EV.

Perhaps we should consider the health impact on the players they collide with, especially when the impact at speed near the half way line, not just upwards motion in the penalty area.
They are red cards irregardless of whether the keeper wins the ball outside the penalty area in those duels, yet you still see keepers commit raising their knee in these duels because shock horror their health is paramount.

No - chip time is your time. GPS isn’t as reliable as the measured course distance, part of the racer’s admin is to keep the corners as close to the measured line as you can can :)
I have a question, the course was 21.3km I completed in 2.01.07 but 21.1km I completed in 1.59.40 so should I consider it sub2 hm or not ?😂

Clearly endangered the opponent. Doesn’t even need to be intentionally a foul - serious injury was likely with that challenge.

Traitors really does not rely on nobody knowing whether each player is a traitor or not. If nothing else, every traitor knows every other traitor.
It doesn’t matter - if they asked the question, which I think they almost certainly did, it voids the vote. The whole game relies on nobody knowing each other’s identity and this completely ruins it.
(Should also point out it’s only TV and none of this actually matters!)

Steve has this completely arse about face.
Large breweries use their power to not allow pubs to sell guest beers - govt is saying that the pubs should have that option.
Can anyone explain to me why the Government is controlling what beers pub chains can serve and why they would need to do that?

The important thing here is she owed the tax…
I am beyond boiling with anger today.
Seeing my elderly mother today nearly in tears after getting an £800 tax bill, she can hardly afford to pay her bills.
I called HMRC who said she can make small payments.
Wankers.
While MPs are lining their own pockets.
They makes me sick

About half of petrol cost is fuel duty and VAT - so about 8p/mile in a petrol car goes on that. (Plus the same again on the petrol
In an EV, the “equivalent” will be 3p/mile tax, plus another 1-2p/mile for the elec…

Averages 50 miles per day (21k/year) - but thinks diesel is the “no brainer” choice - EV would save about £4k/yr in fuel.
No brainer…
(And it’s not like the diesel is the enthusiast’s choice)
I simply fill up my diesel every couple of weeks or so, takes 5 minutes, and I get around 750 to 800 miles range. No brainer.

The only outcome (and it’s a rubbish one) I can see with parkrun is they drop gender from the results entirely.
Everyone still gets their time, you get to be competitive, without it being a race, but the “I was robbed of a place” issue disappears.
It’s odd when someone drops into the parkrun debate and confidently wheels out the same tired arguments as though nobody has heard them before.
They have. Repeatedly. And they’ve been answered repeatedly.
The fact that campaigners choose not to engage with those answers does not make the answers disappear.
