Easy to get complacent over the vast sums governments waste, but: The magnitude of difference between billion and million can be illustrated with this example of the time scale: • A million seconds is 12 days. • A billion seconds is 31 years. • A trillion seconds is 31,688 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's climate/ economic shitstorm that the majority of the working class have to live by, it's pretty disgusting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way of the world, Boris got paid in excess of one years PM salary for a 30 minute after dinner speech last week. (£315,000) I personally have a disgust of footballers getting about £1Million/week where their supporters often can't afford to even see them play! I just don't understand 'sport' remuneration, and yes I know, it's not 'public' money, but still obscene. Just illustrates the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. I know which one I am LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand 'sport' remuneration, and yes I know, it's not 'public' money, but still obscene. Have you been watching Peter Crouch's series helping out a grassroots team? Highlights the massive difference between 'most' football and the premier league clubs. I won a multi-signed football shirt in a charity auction recently (league one team so reasonably priced!). Pretty cool item, but it made me wonder if I could get photos signed through the mail from a few different footballers... So far only one response, which was a resounding 'No' from a premier league club. Anyway, fast forward a couple of weeks, I saw a private signing coming up for the player in question... Had a quick look and was shocked by the pricing...£160 for a signed photo, or £250 for a single-signed shirt! 😮 As far as I can tell it's not for charity either. No wonder they don't give autographs away for free if they can get that sort of price for them! I guess the point I'm making is, if people didn't pay these prices, they wouldn't be able to ask them, there must be enough 'haves' supporting to cover these costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Been a while here but thought I'd share my new car im looking to keep. Gone into my 3rd car this year 😂. Story is I saw this VW UP for sale not too far from me. As I flip these cars I had the intention of doing the same with this. As it's black and 5 door (my ideal spec) with FSH, good bodywork I thought I might keep this one. Already fitted 17 inch wheels on it and LED DRL lights. Have a doner car I'm thinking to change the heated seats, electric mirrors and ECU over as it's got 15hp more. So much better to drive than the pug I have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is normal, worse in mid winter with no solar, a tiny bit better in Summer. Green is Wind, Blue is Nuclear, the rest don't matter much at the moment. (Source: https://grid.iamkate.com/ ) Many people are being duped into thinking their lithium battery cars are helping the environment, the facts say otherwise, at least in the UK! For others, electric just works out cheaper, and it is the right choice, in our present politically distorted system, for them. The Wholesale price chart is new to me on this site. It is very interesting. About £0.10 (10p) per unit (1kWhr)! According to our beloved government, the rate is £0.52 per unit before the government rebate. or energy price guarantee, whatever that means. And about £0.34 per unit after rebate. So where is all the rest going? Paying for subsidies on ineffective solar installations, maybe, at least some of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember where I posted it originally, but there is also a report released last week showing the futility of converting the country to battery cars. It concludes, "Whilst there may remain strategic reasons for implementing the ban, such as demonstrating the UK’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050, this regulatory policy should be seen primarily as one that reduces the welfare of UK citizens"... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
