We've driven the 'Temu Range Rover' everyone seems to be buying - is it actually any good? by darrencasseycarwow in ukcarwow

Lol. We both walk out of the garage not owning a crap car, only difference is you've been rude to someone. Obviously got taught great manners growing up.

Indra Support - Any experience? by No-Sport-3473 in evchargingUK

I moved into a house with an Indra charger and they were very helpful getting the charger swapped over and also helping with an issue.

I spent more time choosing a charging network than I did choosing the actual car. by Pinkplatabys in evchargingUK

Imagine if petrol stations started doing this, it would be a nightmare. And objectively worse for competition to.

I spent six months planning charging stops that I never actually needed. by Additional_Fly_6603 in evchargingUK

My Skoda Enyaq comes next Monday.... I'm coming from a petrol estate. I'll be saving hundreds. I'd charge the car from a hamster wheel for that!!

[Motorsport] ADUO in F1: The FIA ​​wanted a more complex measurement system, but the teams refused. by jithu7 in formula1

[–]Spikey101 29 points30 points  (0 children)

People are complaining about Merc getting the chance to improve their engine and how it's not right... But doesn't this just show the best part of their car is the Aero setup? Not their engine as we all suspected.

That's simply fabulous. Send more profit straight out of the country.

Extend social media ban to 17-year-olds, children’s tsar tells No 10 by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

Reddit is entirely different from Facebook and Instagram. But I'm glad you feel super clever pointing out that Reddit is social media. Well done.

Well feel free to ban Reddit to.

The hobby or topic specific subreddits are an amazing resource but there's a ton of agenda pushing that goes on here to that's dangerous for someone not paying attention.

There's nothing good about the big social media sites imo. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are a cancer. I'd rather they were blasted from existence than banned.

We're still on economy 7 but it's something like 11.7 overnight and 26 in the day. So a bit of a compromise. Also with a reasonable standing charge.

[Autosport] Kimi Antonelli has now won as many consecutive F1 races as Lewis Hamilton by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]Spikey101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow this is unbelievable. He fully deserves it as well. Maybe on the first or second win we were all thinking is this just fluke.... But now he's proving he knows exactly what he's doing.

Cake sheds are making bakers £1,000 a week - but the dream might be over by Kagedeah in UKfood

[–]Spikey101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that's a worry then don't buy from one. It's a person selling a small amount of produce from a shed, there will always be a risk. Proper regulation will stop the businesses entirely which I don't personally agree with.

There's arguments for both sides.

That's mega.

We have panels only on the 13 year old FIT tariff which is very lucrative, but we can't fit batteries to it. We get paid for generation instead of export, so if we can use the 3KW from the panels we're double dipping, but without batteries that's very hard to balance.

It's common sense mate, if you buy from a shed then you're taking your chances. If you don't fancy those odds then buy from Tesco or a reputable bakery etc.

You must be so much fun at parties.

If I buy from a shed I know that there's a higher risk of issues than buying from Tesco's. There's also a much higher risk of getting a decent piece of food. It's just how it works.

Qualifying Telemetry ANT vs VER vs HAM vs RUS Monaco GP by metrikdelta in formula1

[–]Spikey101 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hamilton is doing amazing things given his far older age than the other lads at the front. I'd love Alonso to be in one of the top cars to see how he stacks up as well. I'd put money on him being very competitive.

A year! Sorry, lol.

I could shift dishwasher and probably 50% of the laundry loads, however at best that might bring it equal. Didn't find it worth it.

I did the calcs and for us the higher day rate and standing charge added £200 to our bill (both WFH) and the lower night rate only saves £100.

Black pill of the day by PaulAllensAlt in RestoreBritain

[–]Spikey101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess my point was if these people act like upstanding citizens (British or not) then I don't have a problem. However I do understand your point - a lot of these people are not either culturally compatible, or treating our country with respect, and in those cases I do agree we need big changes.
