I guess the current government have just realised the previous one had already given the spare cash to their mates for faulty PPE, ferry companies with no ships etc. Now Labour have rewarded their backers by using parliamentary rules to get round the requirement to advertise jobs and just...

I think the whole taxation thing is indicative of just how broke the country is, equivalent to searching down the back of the sofa for loose change.

I suspect a lot of 2013 cars would score zero on that basis now. Come to think of it for 40 of the 50+ years I've been driving the cars would have had zero stars!

I think the argument about arbitrage is that the tax free status was to encourage green electricity micro generation, which gives the counter argument that Octopus only supply green electricity. IIRC they were only considering battery only installations where the net income was over £1000, so...

It was 5* when it came out, they removed/replaced side impact airbags which possibly caused it to be re-evaluated and it didn't meet the current standards for crash testing or ADAS.

No, she was a little disappointed but enjoyed the nutcracker anyway and I just wanted to go on Concord.

I stopped recording mine a while ago, mostly using the Zappi at home but in July 23 I added a little over 80 miles in just under 10 minutes also at a Tesla supercharger hitting 142 kW for a little while.

Our oil boiler draws 100-150w when running, I suspect it may be an earthing issue.

It was advertised as swan lake but turned out to be nutcracker. My then partner was into ballet, I was starting to enjoy classical music so we were both happy with the performance.

My only experience of the USSR was a brief trip to Moscow to see the Bolshoi ballet in the 1980s. There was a company, Canterbury Travel I think , that did a series of Flights of Fantasy trips on a chartered Concord. We departed Heathrow in the morning, a quick flight to Moscow, off to the...

Just out of curiosity I thought I'd put some ££s on yesterday's numbers. We paid Octopus £1.32 for the electricity they supplied, EDF paid me £1.90 for the electric generated and I banked almost 20 miles in the car so not too shabby for a cool February day, shame I used 3l of petrol in the Jazz...

It's doing everything we need of it, they gave us a 3 month old Niro 4+ to use while they sorted the BMS loom problem, I liked it but SWMBO thought it had too many gadgets, just as well as she has the poverty spec e-Niro.

Not especially sunny here today but I managed to self consume 6 of the 8.3 kWh generated with 4.6 going into the car at the cost of 400Wh courtesy of the Zappi ECO+. I don't generally bother trying to charge from solar this time of year, todays peak output was 1.7kW so too close to the 1.4...

The original email did say something like 'we will inform of the details fully before it is implemented at the end of January'

Certainly would be the case if you were a business not sure there's anything in personal tax like that.
