Ah, I've just looked on Google maps and spotted the chargers behind TP Link just off junction 11. Those are even better. I'll try those next time. :) (y)

I had to do another run to Heathrow for a pick up before Christmas, and a run to drop off after New Years. I used to charge at Sainsburys at Reading, just off the M4 and park at Hounslow West Underground. Checking TFL this year, I found the price of parking had doubled, so I looked at...

MG in Bath. Drop the car off and have a nice day sightseeing in the beautiful city.

You will find a lot of the ADAS systems will throw up warnings if the cameras are iced over or fogged with condensation.

Could it be the USB ports at the back of the centre storage?

I have just had my renewal quote from esure. I have been with them for 2 years now as last years quote was as cheap as any on the comparison sites. Last year it was £674, this year . . . £1,068!!!!! Do they think I have a bladder catheter? :) (Think about it) Needless to say, I was straight...

And now the Tories are threatening to scrap the new ICE sales ban if they win the next election. Don't they ever learn? The automotive industry spends millions of pounds setting up new production lines and then a new government overturns what the previous encumbents started. The industry have...

I've had a nice Christmas present from HMRC. Apparently I paid too much tax on my NHS pension this year.

No, the salt cavern in Cheshire has 2TWh capacity at this time. 27TWh is in development. Edit: My bad. 2TWh is the projected capacity. A 300MWh liquid air plant is under construction in Manchester.

Which brings us full circle to the title of this post; Someone in authority in the EU can't see the danger, and has probably been lobbied by the oil industry. What was it Fraser used to say in Dad's Army? :)

Let's not forget the work being done on Orkney with wave and tidal. We live on an island, so have a perfect source of base load.

https://www.renewableuk.com/energypulse/blog/battery-storage-capacity-in-the-uk-the-state-of-the-pipeline/ This is just battery storage. There is also 2TWh compressed air storage in Cheshire and a number of liquid air storage sites in development. There won't be one solution, which is a good...
