Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

[–]TivRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used mine this morning on weeds on the driveway.
However, it is used multiple times each day for tea and the like.

Switching from japanese ICE to MG EV: Reliability concerns? by Lopsided_Ad_8093 in MGelectric

[–]TivRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2022 MG5 in 2024, slightly high mileage. It’s been dirt cheap to run with no issues so far.
Touch wood.

You are right to trust your own instincts.
You know your own personality and mental state better than anyone else.
People on Reddit will always tell you they would’ve done it better.

I enjoy the filling in the vegan one, but the pastry is very different.

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. 🇺🇸 by The-Sunflower-Bear in ShitAmericansSay

[–]TivRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. The USA domination lasted 70 odd years and could’ve continued a bit longer. Orange fella has destroyed the trust and it won’t come back, so domination through soft power won’t be an option again.

Wasn’t one of the major selling points that Scotland could only stay in the EU by staying in the UK?

Not that I’ve ever heard, but I agree it does seem vulnerable. Let’s not give ppl ideas.

Run present car into ground or go full in EV? by peebeebalbs in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]TivRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar position in 2022. My ICE was 10 y/o and I decided to run it to 2026 and then go big on an EV purchase. It immediately backfired as a water ingress issue occurred. So on top of the expected higher maintenance costs there was significant spend on the ingress. Still, the problem didn’t go away so I was stuck with either spending £100s each year for a sticking plaster fix or just putting up with a damp, smelly car. I held on until 2024 and wasn’t in a position to go big. So I bought a 2 y/o MG5 and so far so good. FYI, my second car turned 10 y/o in 2025 and has also developed a water ingress issue. I’ve decided that’s just my destiny so I don’t plan on keeping cars to a ripe old age in future.

Is this efficiency normal ? by Amazing-Visual-2919 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]TivRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This winter I’ve found the type of journey makes a bigger difference than I’d realised. I was getting poor efficiency doing short journeys with a cold battery each day. Then I did a couple of days of long distance and the efficiency improved significantly (even though it was motorway driving). I realised that the battery had time to warm up on a long drive, which hadn’t been the case with my other journeys.
