Stark vs wholly inappropriate are different things though, no matter how passionately one feels about the subject matter.

Presumably you might also on occasion feel some regret about how the tabloid newspapers sensationalise serious matters?

One can argue about the numbers, but here's the scoop. Rightly or wrongly, these machines represent the difference between many shops staying open or not. There simply is no fat left to trim. Single manning is now norm, not the exception. Traditional over the counter betting has been in steady decli...

I watched a chunk of that. Strangely compelling.

The Scottish government have installed rapid chargers in most towns so Scottish charging infrastructure is currently better than that in England or Wales where the networks just cherry pick the most profitable locations. Ecotricity having a monopoly on motorway service areas and providing a crap an...

My parking space is on the opposite side of the street from my house so no possible way of getting a battery charged at home. There must be many others in the same situation where recharging is not practicable. Range at present is another problem. For local use a couple of hundred miles is ok but f...

I don't think it's anything to do with the vehicle an individual is, or is not driving. It's about the individual themselves. I don't do it so often now but sometimes I find myself filtering my way into Wigan, to catch a train there, past a line of very slow moving traffic. I'm often pleasantly sur...

That's pretty much it. Her case was aided because she'd had time to demonstrate remorse and behavioural change, I think.

Just for balance/completeness, let's not just confine their utility to that profile, especially if the driver thinks a bit (OK, obsesses a bit in someone's case* :oops: ) Because one can typically use the stored battery power when one chooses, it's easy enough to make sure that it is used where it h...
