    Hard Butter

    Soreen aren't what they used to be - over sweet processed food, now, best as a memory Airing cupboard / system boiler tank, are ideal for warming butter - unfortunately currently have a combi. can't justify paying the lurpak premium over Aldi's best

    Cooking with Jonny69: baking bread.

    it would be interesting to buy a starter to see if it perform better than in-house - mines, at least, a teenager and bi-lingual, and is sometimes un-co-operative. At this time of year and cooler ambients definitely need to let the poolish develop for a longer time - 18-20 hours versus 12. I...

    Chinese cars

    still the case that if the chinese market is the main market for product and driving the costing - that will compromise the design for western consumer - like cybers handling / durability. (not on the in-house wait list for an electric range-rover then ?)

    Worth paying more for an Audi over a Skoda?

    v60 estate is a bit big for me, and probably pay with fuel, but nice cabins / best seats / design (pity v50 was discontinued,) I don't know anything about their engines though and seems very few manuals https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404188809972 £18k/ 54k/20

    Chinese cars

    will be interesting to see how the chassis rigidity and weight impact cyber's genuine appeal as sporty ... block of batteries in metal case without a roof, you'll need some expensive special steels and engineering - which will be a challenge for any manufacturer. (were any of the western ev...

    Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

    good point - so, part of Sadiq's anti rat-run strategy, how long has it actually been there. ANPR picture is probably re-framed on the number plate, alone it takes multiple shots that would identify direction of travel

    Worth paying more for an Audi over a Skoda?

    somewhat similar boat upcoming replacement of 3 series touring manual, golf estate appeals in terms of size/looks (not too large, unlike passat), giving up rwd is an issue, for which would need to be a 3 again, or C class, but I doubt latters handling would be as fun. Octavia estate on lower...

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    so which was better for you across previous months tracker or agile - my calculation has tracker, by some 20%, w/o considering common standing charge, we also use pretty much the same electric across winter, so discrete comparison of specific months (if that's possible with app) wouldn't...

    Clean garden sleepers/fence

    wet and forget seems 2x the price, too .... but, could fit an eco mindset, like oatley; but really need an analysis on active ingrediant strength versus ultima.

    Spain House Build - Land Bought

    yes that's way better .. you get more light from outside on complete hob/sin surface swapping hob and maintaining cupboard would preclude being able to put hot pans on either side (on trivet), even clearance to get heavy pans with both hands, big handles swung out too side ..... safety. e...

    Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

    If Waze would have excluded the route, albeit also owned by google , compare to native google, then I'd be sold, for the Met badlands or unfamiliar/foreign terrain - Wales, France .... equally a plus for a car with that traffic sign recognition/ADAS

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    yes that one .. so if you compare across multiple days ie week or month. will it give you the total for both Agile & tracker, by calculating the sumfor each tarif having compared those historic days individually. ? in the excerpt bigmike included - agile average * consumption != agile cost ?

    Whose fault

    discussion is more about potential for op's offside rear to have extended into her carriageway eg. if there were a big overhang on his car and he over-steered could rear locus be further out than front.

    Happy National Tea Day!

    can see their is a parallel between tea flavours and the deprecated vape flavours - the British Raj would be turning in their grave.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    So the octopus compare tool is crap and doesn't remember your usage profile across the day to accurately tell you what cost with other tarifs would have been - like I'd suggested

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    and you don't think they control the videos the prols believe that Chinese children are watching video truth lets not forget - how the * Gidion's short video was originally misconstrued, or the de-santos video, or the fake videos the useful idiots believed about Biden or Zelensky, not sure if...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    People have just become obsessed by taking videos of everything eg. those grouped around Gideon, police have sworn an oath etc. you have to trust people - you want cameras on every street corner like China, even though UK population (doesn't seem to care) that it is (as?) highly surveyed, let's...

    Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

    Do car navigation systems database have that info, or, even, be able to read the sign (Mr Musk?) e: could be a benefit of a HU display to communicate such issues effectively
