You hurt me, sir. You won't find a more staunch defender of a true Federal Europe, but we can only laugh in the face of adversity... 😊

Yes, but it would be hilarious

I love the combination of a single main wheel with small supporting wheels on the downward rudders. Very clever

They've lost the fucking plot... Targeting tax-paying residents is cruel and ultimately an anti-growth measure.

I just don't get the British distrust of ID cards. I have them from two different EU countries and they are brilliant. Better than carrying with you a stack of parchments every time you need to show who you are...
You are right to say Starmer is doing it for the wrong reasons, but they are useful

French supermarkets are the perfect charging stations. Nothing can improve the experience.

Yo diría que el Bugatti es más Art Nouveau qué Art Déco, por las curvas... Es muy fácil: Si parece que lo han hecho los Elfos es Art Nouveau. Si parece que lo han hecho los Enanos es Art Déco

In the Netherlands they have many examples of similar projects. Unfortunately the top Housing developers in the UK have no interest in this

Exactly this! Shared gardens, resources, and a sense of community

There are some interesting solutions like prefab modular SIP panels that could fit that budget.

Same as alcoholics:
1- Admit Brexit is a problem
2- Contemplate recovery
3- Action steps of recovery, even if long term

Stop Trump Coalition @ukstoptrump.bsky.social · Sep 14

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

It's a fair point, but I'd personally avoid hybrids. They are the worst of both: Crazy mechanical complexity with poor range. Maybe wait until there are enough charging stations close to you?

This looks fantastic! Top points for the research done to get the timber frame buildings looking just right.

Yes, that used to be a problem but since 2023 EU regulations require that all new charging stations accept contactless payments. And the UK has done the same since 2024. No need to sign up for endless apps anymore.

We already have it. CCS2 is the standard in Europe now, including the UK.

The T-50 in the Red Arrows colours looks pretty cool. Although I doubt it will win over Aeralis or Leonardo's options.

Who waits by the car while it's charging? At home I plug it and carry on doing things like sleeping. And if I'm travelling, I plug it while I do some shopping or have lunch. I used to spend a lot more time waiting at petrol stations than I do now

Yes but how big is your bladder? Can you really do 600 km without a toilet break? 😅

Charging at home is ideal, of course, but if you have a fast charging station nearby (50 KW or above) you can easily charge the car while you do your shopping. Apps like Chargemap or Zapmap will show you how fast the charging points are.
