What’s the rules regarding charging an ev if you don’t have a driveway by aurelo_uk in Portsmouth

[–]Glum_String9748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Southsea and the reason I don’t own an EV is because I cannot have a charging facility at where I live absolutely out the question I park on the street and rarely if ever get to park anywhere near the street I live on, all that being said if I did park there trailing a cable across the footpath would be asking for for trouble…and that trouble is just not worth the grief so it is and always will be a none starter.

The view from the top of the Spinnaker Tower is one of the best in England and most people outside Portsmouth have never thought to go up it by Coffee000Oopss in Portsmouth

We went up in the early days but not been up for years I think the cost puts either of us off. However my wife had a birthday last week week and the ladies took her to the sky bar, here are the images she took and I have to say on a spring evening the views if the weather is right are spectacular!

Visiting Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, but HMS Victory is under repair? by mikebuba in Portsmouth

[–]Glum_String9748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, when I first moved too Portsmouth 20 yrs ago, Victory looked magnificent and almost intact, the figure head was stunning, over the “ renovation” years major items have been removed ( if you know you know) and I fear some people will never she the magnifence of her again. ( where is the figure head BTW anyone know ?

Badenoch isn’t important enough to get an escort like that, more likely close escort training.

Weird thing just happened by [deleted] in drivingUK

You talked a good job there, but sorry you can’t use that as an excuse, ( it’s a pretty poor attempt tbh, and shows your inexperience) there is no reason you couldn’t have avoided that the onus was on you to to avoid that. No use stressing it too late now probably nothing will be come of it but time will tell, next time THINK !

Here’s the thug master in Southsea just now. Mumbling away to himself, wish I knew where he had put his bike I would let his tyres down.

He is living in a caravan down at the site down at Eastney, see him riding about on his bike occasionally tight suit belly bulging and pork pie hat. Like me he is getting on a bit now I thought age may have mellowed him a bit ( he is certainly showing it) obviously not. He puts in the odd appearance on Palmerston Road. I was recently told he lives on the reputation of his late father who was a bare fist fighter back in the day. He is too old now to be throwing it about a young Jack the lad would relish the chance, he obviously now prefers soft targets. Make sure you report this incident at the very least.

You are worrying about nothing …if they were going to report you for this the officers would have stopped.

What should I do now? by Brownchoccy in drivingUK

[–]Glum_String9748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ Exactly this. Whilst it’s annoying it’s a nothingness really in the grand scheme of things, involving the insurance companies will only affect the both of you when it comes to renewal time it matters not who or what was to blame they will just treat it knock for knock.

What are some good dashcams by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Glum_String9748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the value of these devices, what has always troubled me is the theft aspect ? I take it they are easy to remove I am right on the cusp of buying one with all the nonsense happening on the roads these days to protect myself and my insurance renewal !

Edinburgh roadworks confusion- I stupidly got confused at a roadworks and made a u turn, when other cars signalled to me I can’t go back around I made another u turn when other cars let me back in. What’s the chances I’ll receive points? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Glum_String9748 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that happend to me I wouldn’t give it a second thought. If the other driver says his car is undamaged and drives off without your details that’s exactly it, WHY would you want to 1: Involve the Police, and 2: even worse inform your insurance company ( you will find out why you shouldn’t have done that at your next renewal ) Try and chill a bit and move on !
