One of my excuses for premium travel - why am I paying to arrive on holiday feeling miserable…

Because posting photos on here from my phone is difficult, I’ll just a link to an article I wrote as part of a competition for a travel review blog detailing how I got into the premium travel world. It contains photos of the old and new BA business class product mentioned above...

It’s worth a try, I don’t know if you’d have much of a case this long after the purchase though as it clearly made no difference to your ownership of the car. You might find your insurance goes down a bit when the right details are entered into the DVLA database though.

That’s BA’s old Club World seat, and is being replaced fleet wide with their Club World Suite, first introduced on when the A350 came into service in 2019. I believe all the 777’s out of Heathrow have been done, and the Gatwick fleet is in the process of it. The 747 and A380 were pretty much...

It’s probably just been misregistered by the first garage that sent the information to the DVLA when the car arrived in country, which every website then takes its information from. It happens - usually with the colour or trim level rather than the engine but it’s much more likely than it having...

You’re doing it wrong.

Also amusing when you get in the car on day 3 of ownership, and wonder why all your recent destinations are pubs in Belfast. Turns out the previous owner had left his account signed in, and had been on a pub crawl the night before… Mind you, he probably wondered why he’d visited a military base...

My Polestar runs Google Maps as it’s built in sat-nav and does this all natively, using the car’s current state of charge and recent usage statistics.

Unlicensed mechs can easily be on 50k at some of the airlines, and I’ve seen a lot of people go to Amazon in engineering roles on similar money. Those of us who are lucky enough to have a license can literally print money with it…

Counting down the days and awaiting the FRI finally being released as I could do with a laugh…

One of my happiest days in the RAF was when I stopped having to shave every sodding morning after 19 years. With the ever increasing lack of hair on top, upside-down head FTW.

Always used jetex - never had an issue.

The mistake you made there was not being on the tanker - not that I'd have said no to a back seat in a Buccaneer, but you can't beat having a widebody jet to wonder around in... Loving how many of these replies are military flights, a fair few of which I've done myself. Doing a Falklands...

Efficiency of charge or increased chance of your house becoming a raging inferno. Tough choice.

My Polestar can change the actual amperage down to a minimum of 6 amps on the menus - if you can do this in yours, it makes it even safer. Charging time is increased a fair bit but by the sounds of it that wouldn't be an issue.

I’m not even convinced the video is real - there’s no way of telling but you’d think they’d have spent more than a fiver making it if it’s meant to be that big a breakthrough.

Me too, and I’m almost bald and only have one style of sock.

He'll look more fabulous than I do and I'll cry.

Yes, we are all screwed if you think guns are the answer to everything.
