    Obelixx, he was certain the virus doesn't have as much coverage abroad as here.I had better not tell him he is an ass, (he has lots of mental problems, severe depression and anxieties, for many years, agrophobia,and other phobias, if he went out in the garden, it was to walk straight down to the summerhouse, and enclosed. Many years of therapy, and antidepressantsThe stats over here tell you one thing, the profs another, etc etc you do not know what to believe frankly.

    Seat say their vehicles with a 60KW battery take 8 hours on a 7KW charger from empty to full.Nothing to service, you don't want the brakes checked then, LOL!! My Husband was a silver tech, all relevent courses over a period of over 40 years,one time he came back from a course with a book 2 inches thick just on the electrics of a new model, to learn and pass. old school, service, remove the wheels do the job properly.  The were taken over by Peugeot, still I see calling he Corsa Vauxhall.  They had an electric car in with massive faults, the experts at Head Office couldn't fathom it.

    I'll be amazed if the manufacturers don't require annual check in order to maintain a warranty if for no other reason.  Brakes, suspension, electrics (particularly electrics) will still need to be checked.

    Just seen a video clip on Facebook where developers removed part of a berm, installed to prevent flooding, to develop more housing.  Nothing new had been put in place of that berm to prevent flooding so large parts of the existing housing estate is now under water!

    @KT53 , please don't tell me that's the new estate at Twigworth/Norton ?

    No. Somewhere around Tuffley or Kingsway from what I could work out.

    I used roosters. Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle without the grainy texture of the maris  piper.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
