Tesco and others charge quite a lot to have magazines ranged. Unless the publisher is making a lot of money from advertising inside and can charge more to advertisers for a potentially higher circulation, it's likely not worth it. Some magazines are willingly sold at a loss, the same as giving...

I think most petrolheads are open to new technologies and are likely quite impressed with EVs, but there are some who are somehow brainwashed into disregarding them no matter what. Even if they were driven in one, they'd double down on how bad they are. Given probably 99% of EV owners had an...

Just probably not widely available, or affordable. Obviously how many petrol stations close (or move towards EV charging) will depend on the EV take up rate - but once the bulk of cars being driven (older cars likely being more like classics and not used daily, or for high mileages) are...

So tragic that in less than a week there have been three passengers hit by trains between New Southgate and Hatfield.

He has a plan to deal with the risk of rising sea levels. He'll run as MP somewhere else.

Probably one or two weeks left before people forget about the heat and stop talking about air conditioning for another 9 months or so.

Trump isn't doing anything to end things before November. At home, gas that was 3-4p is 7.90p today (Octopus Tracker) and for those on the newest tracker, it's approaching 9p. And it's still August! We're going to be hit left, right and centre for petrol, diesel, natural gas and heating oil...

As demand for oil and gas increases into the autumn and winter, petrol and diesel prices are likely to creep up again. My local shell is almost at £1.70 per litre for petrol (I haven't passed my supermarket recently). Diesel is around £1.90. Donald will continue to play the markets and escalate...

The structural damage was mostly because of drainage around the central core, which fuel rapidly went down and caused the severity of the fire. The new car park has a totally different design, such that the drainage is at the edges. So if there was no fuel tank to burst once the fire took hold...

And we saw what a diesel Range Rover could do to a car park (Luton Airport).

Costco is averaging 156.9p with the branch in Manchester only 146.9p - but the national average is reportedly around 159.6p. (E10 Unleaded) Meanwhile there are people still on fixed 3.5p off-peak electricity tariffs, if they were lucky enough to fix at the right time!

Yes but the amount you're charged for that group does and changes as time goes on. If the car is still in production then it influences the price because parts may be more readily available. There's also an element of hedging involved when they decide on a group based on predictions. They won't...

Group 39 will be based on parts cost, security, repair times and more (as well as performance) - so perhaps you need to look at something that has less risk? Possibly an old car with poor parts availability? A design that makes repairs expensive? A car with security that doesn't match modern-day...

I think the key is what TfL could do differently from GTR/DFTO/GBR without the need to take over part of a depot, split up drivers, change who runs certain stations and the cost of rebranding etc.. plus with a closer working relationship with GTR and Network Rail, how does TfL integrate? So...

'Allo 'Allo!...

My mum recently said she had a call from someone she knew was a scammer, because the bank they said they were calling from was not her bank. She was proud of the fact she caught them out, but I had to point out to her that they'll bank (sic) on getting it right some of the time. The key is to...

My car doesn't have a heat pump. On a cold day if I get the car to pre-heat then it can take about 1% off the battery. That would be about 0.4kWh used, although I'm not sure how long the heater runs at full blast. Once to temperature, the heating will turn on and off as required to maintain the...

They're so expensive they have to be given away, obviously! ;)

There are many EVs under 1500Kg, some under 1000Kg. I really don't know where you are getting your information from.

Even when this thread was created almost everything said was wrong for then, let alone now.
