  1. Fabulous, another reason to buy an EV, no need to visit IKEA!! The infrastructure is improving month on month but still needs improvement. Some work required to locate charge points and various apps available to aid this. Biggest bugbear must be having different owners for different stations therefore making it necessary to subscribe to several RFID type tags, whereas there was a piece of legislation to ensure that all could be accessed via a single type such as contactless card. As usual an impudent transport minister fails yet again. In one breath they want a big EV take-up then do not follow through with a plan. Phev's well if they suit your life then ok but if not you have IMO the worst setup. Tiny battery, tiny engine, 2.25 tons of vehicle. Range on electric, maybe 18-26 miles consumption of fuel 25 mpg? Unfortunately I do see around my area a large number of 7-22kw charging stations which are just pointless as they are too slow for practicality.
  2. Sorry, I thought it was some kind of Brexit poll lol.
  3. That's a sore point Betty, Ordered a Kia e-niro but they only shipped 900 and then we must wait another 15 months for the next shipment. So far hired one to try but not on a French trip which would be ideal. Lots of other manufacturers bringing out versions over the next year so could cancel my Kia. I chose the Kia for range (300 miles almost) equipment, warranty and space on the inside. Oh and purchase price. Oh Woolly, you know your intermarche is only 20kms away, why would you ever need 800kms? Or put the other way, when have you at your tender age with your weak bladder and dodgy hips, knees, ankles etc driven 800kms without a reasonable stop to get the blood flowing and refresh with a lunch. Difference with electric at the moment is needing to plan the journey around a 45 minute or 2 twenty minute stops for a top up charge. The rest of the time plug in at home. PS stop reading the daily email motoring section lol.
  4. Just one more reason to go for an electric vehicle.
  5. [quote user="NickP"]I'm afraid that I'm fed up with Mr/Mrs Richards51 being deliberately rude on lots of postings, I thought that wasn't allowed on this forum. By the way, Hoddy do you or anybody else read reports by members of this forum As I find it difficult to believe that nobody has complained about this rudeness.[/quote] Seconded
  6. I guess it's someone just trying to link to their products
  7. My ones on its way, just been looking at the international driving permit, not needed for Spain at the Brexit date but France will.
  8. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/driverless-taxis-on-streets-of-london-for-the-first-time-6t5x6tgv2
  9. Yes we need a lot more deaths to establish a pattern.
  10. Just bitter civil servants who cannot handle the idea that 80kph was not only stupid but increased accident stats. So come up with a more ludicrous idea.
  11. Wholesale price of oil has fallen and in the UK prices are coming down by around 3p
  12. A fully insulated pool structure, sides and floor.For your size of pool 1 skimmer would surfice, 2 is better.A pool with round ends or angled is better hydrodynamically, producing less dead areas of water movement.A good bubble cover, geobubble for summer and a good winter cover that keeps out the light and debris.A filter containing Dryden Aqua AFM glass media and no (looky like products) There is only 1 AFM.Variable speed pump and my plumbing setup (not giving out any clues in an open forum)You could use Advance oxidation process and chlorine via either direct dosing or salt chlorinator.A decent test kit.
  13. Ok a pool is just a water tank decorated in a way you like. It has a few holes in it to let the water out, be filtered and treated then returned via the other holes. Clever part is the placement of these holes and the quality of the filtration and treatment. I use a variable speed pump which is very efficient but pool equipment wasn't designed with efficiency in mind. The general setup relies on a big pump so the water goes where it's pushed no matter how badly it's all made. I put together a very efficient system and that's where the savings come from, it's not just changing the pump.
  14. You'll know when they do as that smell won't be at the supermarket checkout.
  15. Good to hear from you Ernst, do pop back an tell us how you are doing.
  16. [quote user="BritinBretagne"]What an unpleasant remark. Prat.[/quote] Yes saying prat is unpleasant but who gives a flying feck what you think. You only appear on here to have a go, and one of the people responsible for keeping others away from this forum.
  17. Too far back now, I was working in insurance for a while and it was a shocker.
  18. Maybe however a case of a lady with travel insurance, who suffered a heart attack but insurance wouldn't pay as the hospital didn't call them first. Had a bill of £46,000 and had to sell their home in the UK to pay it.
  19. No body should be above the law, still in a banana republic like France what do we expect?
  20. Companies are asking for 2 factor security now, ie your mobile number. As I consider most companies to have less than secure software and they love to profit by selling us out to other companies I am sure our phone numbers are sold as well judged by the increase in spam sms.
  21. I think the main difference eurotrash is you have some movement, oswaldo has a wall that's collapsed. Local artisans will only be interested in rebuilding it not helping to claim.
  22. I thought you may be talking about visitors to the site or new topics.Not back out for a month, wonder what I shall find?  had some ground movement on the pool over winter necessitating a small repair but not bad for 17-18 years.
  23. I would just like to say thank you Hoddy.You do deserve a bloody Légion d'honneur, for working on this for nowt but the love.
