RIP former Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake guitarist, John Sykes 😥

It’s just from Tesco. This one:

I use the powdered stuff. This method: https://brulosophy.com/2015/01/05/the-gelatin-effect-exbeeriment-results/

Ok, I stand corrected, 7p per mile is still significantly cheaper than 17p per mile.

VAT is 5% if you charge from home. Normal 20% VAT is payable at public chargers. Even without fuel duty you still need an EV tariff to make home charging worthwhile. Charging an EV from home paying the standard price cap rate doesn’t work out significantly cheaper than fuelling an average ICE...

Strongly recommend their Clipper yeast for an NEIPA 👌

Is he taking the p**s 🤣

Not at all. Charging for road use doesn’t deter the richest and they tend to be the ones with the most polluting cars. Regardless of the stats, I can guarantee I can’t drive from one side of the congestion charge zone to the other any quicker now that I could before the charge was introduced so...

We had one of these in Benfleet too until a few years ago when they removed the mini roundabouts and replaced them with traffic lights. The only two box junctions are on the road leading to Canvey island so at all of the other junctions traffic gets stuck at red lights on the roundabout and...

Yep, get that. I suppose the point I was trying to make was that the introduction of a congestion charging zone has not solved the issue of congestion and the ULEZ zone has not solved the issue of polluted air. They were clearly never designed to do so, they were designed to raise revenue only.

There’s a double mini roundabout near me. If you think a single one causes confusion you should stand a watch this one for an hour 🙄. I’ve posted the layout below from google maps but it’s quite hard to see the second one as at the time this photo was taken, yes you guessed it, a car was...

I’m not sure many people really want to. Unfortunately many people have to. People live within these zones and have to pay the charge if their vehicles are not compliant. There are also trades people who need to enter these zones to work, many can’t carry the tools required to do their jobs...

I have three fridges just under a lean to at the side of the house. The issue is that the outside temperature gets lower in winter than what the internal fridge temperature should be so you tend to get increased humidity in them and subsequently mould can set in. I bought the fridges second hand...

Apologies to everyone, particularly my Santas, for the delay in reporting back. I wasn’t too well over Christmas so only tried my kind gifts yesterday. My first SS is a hells bells lager Slight hiss in opening made me think it may be a bit undercarbed but it actually poured very nicely. Good...
