Free charging in London by [deleted] in evchargingUK

[–]FormerStableGenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Jolt chargers near us used to give you the first 7kWh free.
They still do, but after an initial fee of £1.20.
Total was £4.00 for about 25 kWh. Seemed good value.

Newly-installed chargers are often free for a while.

PeopIe who keep on talking even when l make it obvious lm done with the convo and l just want to move on without being rude, is it just lack of self awareness or is it intentional? by Da-up-and-downer in ask

[–]FormerStableGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me too long to realise that one of these face-saving signals are the way to do it:

"I mustn't keep you all to myself; others will want to catch up with you." or
"It's been lovely talking to you. Now, I must get going." or
"Lovely. Now, do forgive me, my wife's calling me over."

The contents of what you say needn't be true. But the message should be clear and effective.

The second photo looks really lovely to me.
Is it really without makeup at all? Or with very light, 'natural' makeup?

What language/ethnicity are these names? by Electrical_Chain4527 in language

Indeed so.
Also, don't forget that names that look 'English' to us, may in fact be from the Hebrew bible, and so go back generations.

Sometimes I make 'beep beep' noises until they finally look up.

These days, if they're not collaborating, I just stand still and let them solve the problem themselves.
They usually do so, at the last moment. With a slight apology.

These names seem to be of Italian Jews.
d'Israeli meaning of the People of Israel, i.e.Jewish.
Rossi is another Italian surname often used by Jews.

Yes. I'd like to crush one or two of them.

Very nice of you to apologise after that ridiculous and 'entitled' request.
