Is it normal to trade in a car before agreeing on what 'new' car to buy? It sounds like the car supermarket agreed a price for the trade in and somehow claimed that once accepted by the seller, this was a done deal.. so now you don't own the car anymore and must find a new one to buy. This...

I know it is being talked about, but I don't see it being discussed very often and do not know how it is being considered in the industry, but as more and more people invest in home solar and batteries (and if the Government brings in new grants, that could massively increase the installations)...

I assume that some of the American people/firms that have invested in businesses/operations in Greenland (or bought them) were also donors to the GOP or Trump directly, and maybe they expected something in return (shock horror!). It's like the potential for US contractors to profit big in the...

I've seen a few YouTube videos of people going from Stockholm to Narvik (there's also one with someone going from London, via Brussels, Cologne & Hamburg which was quite a mission but looked pretty good - and the only delay was as you might expect, the German ICE train journey). As for...

I thought one of them was/is testing self scanning, possibly using a mobile app only though.

Let's wait and see what the Daily Telegraph says... (Sarcasm intended).

Ah yes, when your plans go badly wrong and everything falls apart, you just blame everyone else and say there's a 'deep state' there to prevent you doing what you want/needs to be done.

You want civil unrest, and possibly a war/conflict if you're seeking to delay or cancel the midterms. These grenades are being thrown all over but they don't seem to get the desired reaction, which must frustrate those having to talk of the domestic terrorists who are ringing bells, blowing...

Given how long the 379s were going around saying 'not in service' and other issues relating to the displays (especially on the outside) I so wonder if this is a factor. 377s and 387s seem pretty good at announcing splits and telling people what coach they are in*. I haven't been in a 379 that...

Do the 379s have an issue with auto announcements on board? Or should that be, are they set up properly? Perhaps they don't work quite the same as the 387s - or the method of activating the messages is different and drivers haven't been fully trained - and that's why Cambridge staff want better...

I wonder what some people thought of the George Floyd killing, about one mile away apparently. Now he may well have been guilty of trying to pass off counterfeit money so I guess that means skipping due process is okay because he was deemed guilty in the mind of the cop? I say that...

I doubt he'd last two minutes either. They're living it up now with money flowing from everywhere, and in Tice's case that's living it up in Dubai, so the role of PM would be very hard work and put him the limelight in a way I suspect wouldn't look good for him. There's a lot of money to be...

I watch a lot of videos of sovereign citizens being pulled from vehicles because they don't have a licence or insurance. They don't get shot and officers never, ever, stand in front of a vehicle. (Yes there have been shootings where an occupant of the vehicle went for a gun. That doesn't...

Social media is constantly bombarding us with posts that say the UK is lost and demanding an election now. It's clear this is because Farage is likely to win now, but every day that passes I expect the moment to begin to pass. If he took power now, Trump and the Heritage Foundation would work...

Video by Legal Eagle; 'Can ICE agent Jonathan Ross be prosecuted for murdering Renee Good?' I'd wager that all police training worldwide is given to tell officers not to put themselves in a position of danger. Even where you stand ALONGSIDE a vehicle is part of training, so walking in front is...

Shutting down a 700 is dead easy. Quick to walk though, few hiding places, and you're on at one end and off the other. With a 387 or 379, the need to exit the train causes delay and also introduces risk (if someone were to try and hide and walk back through the carriage to what has been locked...

I have heard that Cambridge staff have acknowledged there is a problem with their CIS, relating to explaining the splits and joins. They are recommending more announcements on the platform and by train crew to aid the process. I have not heard how their system announces such things compared to...

The tools I've seen show an awful lot of data and it's in real time. Collect enough data and you can create a report that I'd say was quite accurate. I think some companies give an actual guarantee for their reports. FWIW, my car was under a year old so I didn't get a report. It was from a main...

No I don't think it is, but it's probably wise even if you have a long warranty. The risk is low (arguably lower than anyone expected) but it's also easy to check. When it comes to second hand sales, especially private sales, there will always be people trying to get rid of problems.

I know I've said it many times before but there are generally less things to go wrong with an EV, and those wearable items are likely quite easy to check and will be harder to hide. As such I think I'd be more confident buying second hand - but you obviously need to take basic precautions. It...
