I really think the only way to fix the problem is have Kings Lynn trains shuttling to/from Cambridge and then try and make it easy to connect to other services south - including the original Cambridge Cruiser, the semi-fast train to Brighton, or the stopper to KGX. No splits and joins, and no...

For some time now the Wi-Fi I've used (when I can't use my own phone) has just asked for an email address. I don't bother with the ones that give free Wi-Fi with me having to log in via a social media service, or even ones that have had the cheek to ask you to rate them or give a review (in the...

Oh, so no KKKK just KKK then. I'm still mourning the loss of lives in the Bowling Green massacre so wasn't thinking straight.

Don't forget Kellyanne Conway. He obviously likes the letter K. I think he made a big mistake making Karoline Leavitt stay on a plane Trump thought might get blown up. She resigned two days later! She was a professional liar and, to be honest, really good at it. The new one, erm, isn't -...

That's excellent. Quite likely it could manage that or more if used in town at low speeds (especially 20mph zones).

Our chosen charity will look through what we (and others) bring and apologise for it, but I get that they have to say no to certain things. We're never offended as even items I think they could sell aren't always what they want to sell. I bet they get angry people though who wanted them to take...

On the top image, there was plenty of room to have the accessible toilet underneath, like the bottom image, removing any ambiguity.

Sorry, if isn't. Meant to say the displays are fully working now (after previously pointing out various issues).

The good thing about a small car with a smaller battery is that the 20 minute charge will be cheaper than a 20 minute charge on a larger car with a huge battery needing more power. It's often forgotten or not considered. These huge EVs with 100kWh batteries to add range, often at the expense of...

Not convinced about all the signs, especially the ones on the side of the building that have no border and no feeling of authority. They look like the sort of sign you'd expect if someone in an office had to quickly produce something in Word and print it out and laminate - just bigger. If you...

It's now a joint venture. Despite Geely's involvement, there are distinct differences between a Smart car and, say, the Volvo version built on the same platform. It's not like Stellantis where you'd expect to see loads of components shared. It will be interesting to see if Geely makes any other...

As an update on the new Uno EV buses, I've just been on one that is fully working. Colour monitor, screen at the front (looking in) and a screen in the middle (facing front). The colour monitor is also showing ads (silent) - currently for army cadets - and the other information is nicely...

One SIM that roams is a terrible solution though. Hardware will seek to stay on the same network for as long as it can, and it will be measuring signal strength or quality - but not the speeds available, which will vary loads bases on the number of bands available and the capacity of each of...

I knew a lot of people who went to charity shops and car boot sales to find hidden gems, but I think there are a lot more people doing this now. Or trying to, as I think to a certain degree the ship has sailed by now.

Charity shops must also pay a fortune to clear up the flytipped materials dumped outside their front door night after night (or at the back door).

Also great to see the Smart #2 announced (which goes on sale quite soon). A more premium small car but very likely to sell very well even if it's more expensive than other cars in its class.

Which is fine for content you can freely download and move from drive to drive, store in the cloud, burn to a disc or whatever. Sadly some encrypted files require access to the cloud to keep them unlocked, and this is where you really don't own what you purchased. Look at the likes of Sony (and...

I think they knew early on* which stores they wanted to close but they had an agreement not to close stores immediately, so they just did as little as possible to keep them ticking over until the closures were agreed. * how could they not? They'd have all the figures for each store to see from...

Isn't that more renting or leasing these days?

I think we're seeing 100kW or thereabouts becoming a sweet spot for smaller cars with 40-50kWh batteries. I do think we'll see some small battery cars come with faster charging in the future, which would allow a car offering only 150 miles or so a rapid petrol station like top up, but that will...
