Close enough! a rough pasta apparently named after "sparrows" as I've just discovered on wikipedia.

We made mushroom Käsespätzle tonight. Lovely. Not very healthy, though. Cheese, butter and pasta with a bit of onion and mushroom.

Thanks John. Recrimination, then. Current leadership blaming the previous leaders. Staff and previous leaders blaming the newer leaders. Possibly the owners decided not to continue to try to compete with the new entrants who were providing superior products for similar prices (or similar...

Yeah, its a worry. The new 'software' company is claiming that it is only providing the cloud services and not support for the devices so that is a worry as well. Pay £5 a month and you don't even get support for the device.

Those were good decisions, I think. The Givenergy equipment will keep working, but support will be lost. Octopus will still be able to control the battery so the intelligent tariffs will remain available (not that you do this). The inverter will probably fail around 12 years old and at that...

Yeah, sorry I added some general comments just to confirm that the above information was in an announcement about all that as well. The inverter/battery stuff will probably be relevant to many more people. I doubt many people got the EV charger unless they had the solar equipment, and many...

Update from "Givenergy software" (spun off from the rest of the business) I have heard that the GivEnergy EV Charger (EVC) won't function if it can't connect to the GivEnergy servers. How can I ensure it continues to work? There is currently no expectation of the EVC servers going offline...

Is the GMW Ora Cat in the right size range? It seems to be between the ID2 and ID3 size-wise. Doesn't have the fastest charging speed or efficiency but otherwise seems ok and great deals out there for them.

My parents had a hire car jeep on holiday (hybrid) and liked it. I know Stellantis have been pretty poor at EVs with their many-fuel-chassis approach, but the little jeep seemed to get a good write-up and I've seen good prices from Southampton Jeep.

That's fair enough, TBH. A relative of mine said that Chinese cars aren't really allowed into his security-sensitive workplace.

Take it you've found a deal on it! Fingers crossed its a good one. Possibly someone got to the end of a three year deal.

If it was me I'd ask for a deal on a double order! Economies of scale, especially on the scaffolding.

Your Mum isn't making you both get solar at the same time so it's "fair"? Might get some scaffolding labour cost savings!

Apologies, I was thinking of our MG4.

If you go down a steep hill on ACC it will go negative. If you can be accurate enough with the throttle the mode shouldn't make a massive difference.
