  1. That is because it is still early days in environmentalism. it is hard to convince someone to spend £10k or £20k on an asset, that in the recent past, increased by that much in a year or so. Much easier, and financially simpler, to get the car companies to market a package that is faster, safer, prettier and cheaper to run, to replace a diminishing asset that needs changing anyway.
  2. Knowing that could have saved us a fair bit of time over here
  3. I like gloss rollers, can do a door in a few minutes. Since getting my scaffold tower, it has rained everyday for the last 3 weeks. So the best way to get back to the external stuff, is to start the internal painting.
  4. Yes, it is good. The few remaining locals can charge such a premium that they can do nothing for 8 months of the year. Controversial viewpoint I know, but what else is Salcombe good for these days.
  5. Got her number 999 Everytime I look at a bicycle pump my cheeks clench, tightly.
  6. You sure you are not from Essex.
  7. Could still buy a Ford Escort then.
  8. Not long to go for me then. Last time I saw a doctor, she put a huge camera up my arse. Not sure I want to go back for that 'special personal service'.
  9. You can rent their old building out. £20/sq foot http://www.showcase.co.uk/property/Walton-Street/South-East/Aylesbury/9638655 Does seem odd that the tax office was opposite and they never noticed that the company was corrupt. I knew a guy that worked at Equitable in a senior position, he expected sympathy when he lost his job. He ended up as the only shelf stacker at Tesco with a new BMW 5 series. Thieving crooks.
  10. I was at a shop and saw a jacket I liked in a sale. So took it to the counter where the girl got the concept of 70% off the price wrong. So go the jacket for less than 20 quid. she discounted the discounted price. It was a White Stuff one and everyone was impressed just how fashionable I was. I found my Converse flipflops in a carpark, another 50 quid 'saved'. Today, I shall put on my jeans from Poundland, they cost a fiver, T-Shirt from Sports Direct was 3 quid, fleese from Mountain Whorehouse was 6 quid. Socks 2 quid a pair. So clothed for 16 quid. Walking jacket and boots adds on about £300 to that.
  11. I could happily live of others' pensions. Should have become a 'financial adviser', it is what those thieving bastards do all day.
  12. That is when people are on holiday though.
  13. It will be interesting to see if PV installation prices really increase because of this. I am a great believer in price points. If a product goes above a price point, it stops selling.
  14. Tupperware is polyethylene, it breaks down in light very quickly. Best avoided.
  15. I had a well driven Model S pass me in the A30 a few days back. It was a safe distance from the car I front. As it passed, noticed that the driver was looking at the passenger seat with his left arm outstretched. Texting he was. Next time I shall hit the horn to scare the living daylights out of them.
  16. There was a town planner and an architect arguing about their beer glasses being half full or half empty. An electrical engineer pointed out that the glass was twice the size it needed to be.
  17. I think we already have legislation that, in effect, is going to make EVs the only choice in a decade. Reducing every day and won't be long before it is at parity with an ICE vehicle. Have you ever been to St. Just or Sennen by foot or public transport. I dropped someone off in St. Just to get the bus back to Penzance, it was a Sunday in October 2007. No one has seen her since.
  18. That is the difference between how an accountant and an economist looks at things.
  19. Really. Is this sort of nonsense still spouted by marketing departments.
  20. I find having an imaginary sandwich enlightening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0008p3v
  21. Isn't that just the kind of shit that unimaginative, but pretentious, clients are impressed with, while making everyone else put two fingers down their own throats.
  22. Do one now, it may pay better, and you don't have to get a student loan in Scotland. I got a bursary of £10k when I did a post grad course, was the easiest money ever. I even joked that my academic references where put at the end of random sentences for a laugh. I never once read more than a paragraph of any of the texts. And they wonder why education is in crisis.
  23. Yes, the boxes are the dogs, the trays on the other hand are total rubbish. Also try a local chip shop, the fat comes in sturdy boxes. You may get some pickle jars as well, it is pickling season after all.
