Thank you for the reply. It’s much appreciated.

Your article centres on negative commentary on the possibility of removing VAT on electricity bills, which is 100% a good idea in carbon footprint terms. See annotated screenshot below.

The battery has a small catch to hold it in place, which an averagely strong person could probably break with their bare hands. And given the new retail price (see screenshot; even higher than I said) it’d definitely be worth stealing on its own. It’s totally normal to remove it when parked.

Not content with his role campaigning against LTNs, John Stewart is now giving quotes to the right-wing press campaigning against heat pumps (on spurious noise grounds).

“It’s nice here, but have you ever been to Baden-Württemberg?”

Anyone know what’s behind these flyposted German tourism marketing stickers? And wouldn’t they be more successful in Britain if they were in English?

Can anyone explain the public policy imperative behind giving staff/volunteers at Tower Lifeboat Station free parking so they can drive their sports cars right into the centre of London?

I get that it’s a socially useful job, but most other people doing socially useful jobs can cope with the tube….

That’d make some sense, although I am not convinced that is always the reason for the shift. And British is still (perhaps imperfectly) used as an adjective for the whole UK (including in what the embassy in question officially calls itself).

Minor linguistic shift query: why is there increasingly a tendency to use “UK” as an adjective in preference to the prima facie more suitable “British”?

This Daily Express headline just describes the essential function of a national revenue authority, doesn’t it?

Which one’s better: the original Georgian facade on the right, or the one with some 1970s enhancements and modifications on the left?

I had hoped that this sort of sententious post would have stayed on X.

It feels like EDF are slightly in denial about my desire to move to another electricity provider.
