    This Business and Moment...

    Definitely do it if your QOL isn't impacted. You've also got S&S ISAs at £20k a year to make sure you maximise, too. Compound interest on a fairly low risk investment there should net you at least 8%-10% per year - which REALLY adds up.

    Energy Suppliers

    THere's a 2hr limit at ours. You won't get much from a 7kW in 2 hours.

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    I'd avoid Prem Bonds - it's really not worth it, unless you like that buzz each month that you *could* have won a million (but won't). We've put the full amount in for me/my wife (as we've maxes out ISAs) and get about £50-£100 back a month it's rubbish. If you have spare ISA allowance, just...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    Premium Bond returns are fairly rubbish. I'd be tempted to stick it in a Vanguard LS fund for 5 years - yeah there's risk, but chances are the return will be far greater.

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    I'm a big fan of The Greatest Showman, but that is going to be terrible :p

    The C8 Corvette now shown without camouflage - 'vette going mid-engined

    If you're spending £80k+ on a car like this, I don't think fuel prices matter all that much. This will be a last hurrah for petrol and I really, really want one.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Like you say though, people don't pay list for new cars. I would imaging that would have been 12%-18% off list for the original owner.

    What is your car(s) and how much did you pay for it/them.

    Polestar2 with all the options for about £350 a month (via my employer, the actual car was about £64k)

    When are you going fully electric?

    I guess the point was that it's a comfortable, 4-door saloon. It's hardly designed to be anything other than a "daily".

    When are you going fully electric?

    Love the look of the Mach-E, but just couldn't get on with the interior.

    When are you going fully electric?

    The one pedal driving, for me, is just awesome. It took me a while to get used to it, but using a brake pedal now (when I drive other cars), just seems so ancient.

    how did zoom become so popular?

    I think the issue with WebEx is that most are on an old version. The actual, up to date version looks a lot more modern than Zoom. But it's a bit more flaker to use, not as easy and more resource intensive.

    how did zoom become so popular?

    Zoom just gets talked about a lot as they made an effort to make it available to all in Lockdown. Doesn't mean they're hugely successful in Enterprise, though. WebEx is better, but didn't do too well selling/marketing itself.

    I think some kind of video would be useful, yes.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    It was more a reference to having to keep the midget watered/fed in order to keep it working.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Literally what I told my wife on the Polestar. She believed it for a disturbing amount of time.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Midget. Boot. Gopro. It's an expensive option, as you can imagine. (Also, Cameras on the bottom of the door mirrors + front and rear bumpers)

    Hire car 'downgrade'

    They probably class 'SUV' as a higher category than 'Saloon'. What was their response when you complained?
