I looked for a plug socket in the multi storey car park but couldn't find one 😄 it's on level 3 and nr the exit ramp so perhaps the mrs could give it a shove and burn some calories off at the same time 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Lad at work been taking the ***** out of my choice of car . Electric cars catch fire bla blah blah. Then a couple of cars burnt to the ground on a housing estate a few days ago. Of course it must have been an electric one but he couldn't recognise what was left to identify make let alone the fuel type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Was told just before I left work tonight that everyone in the company is getting £250 Tesco voucher shorty to help out over Xmas. That was a nice gesture considering there's a huge amount of employees at various sites thought the UK and channel islands. Hate think what that cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I'd just signed up for an EV on the strength of shopping at Tesco.** Bit more about it here, I see they've also increased the charges for those chargers that were chargeable (quite a tongue twister): https://www.grocerygazette.co.uk/2022/11/01/tesco-electric-vehicle-charges/ ** Just kidding, folks!

That's just like 'road tax' was meant to be when introduced in 1920, a government ring fenced amount to be spent on infra structure. (instead of the generic government tax income it morphed in to) I can see the future LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I would hazard a guess that free/reduced cost EV charging at any supermarket could end up as a perk for those signing up to the reward scheme, i.e., Clubcard+ in Tesco's example which is already a monthly premium.

Turvey Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I do like that 'Holiday Mode' has been activated! 😎 0835 flight tomorrow morning Kirkwall to Edinburgh, 2 buses to Glasgow airport. Overnight stay in airport hotel tomorrow night and 0900 flight out to Malaga Saturday morning for (hopefully 🤞) a week in the sun to celebrate Mrs Turvey's 50th birthday in Benalmadena 🍾🍻🥂 Stay tuned for beer and food pics overload! 😀 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
