    Toyota would say different - and as your picture does not show where the info is from I will trust Toyota at this point

    Also, your heater works like that from a full charge - how about if you have driven 250 miles and then get stuck on a motorway for 12 hours in the snow? Will it heat you and then get you off the motorway to the queue to recharge OK

    The data is from The Argonne National Laboratory's Advanced Powertrain Research Facility https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360319908011439?via%3Dihub

    There's just as much chance of me driving on the motorway in the snow with 1% charge as someone driving with 1% of liquid fuel - not much. In a comparable situation, the BEV would last longer.

    Anyway, how many times a year do you get stuck on the motorway in snow? I've been driving for 30 years and it's never even been close once?

    While you're worrying about something that'll never happen,  I've driven 36k miles virtually emission free and for ~1.5p/mile 👍

    Highlights the problem really well.

    I do wonder one day when the vast majority are EV's and we get one of our every rarer Snow Events - then what. Thousands of cars stuck on motorways with power being used to keep warm giving flat or near flat batteries.................. then the road opens up but one in 10 cars cannot now move!!

    Don't get me wrong, I am all for Green energy etc, the sooner the better - but EV's are not and never have been a logical easy way to go. Hydrogen was quicker, cheaper and easier but the indutry and invested heavily in Electric so that's where we went

    Hydrogen isn't efficient enough at individual vehicle level, plus my EV will sit with the heater running for 24+ hours, much longer than a liquid fuel car

    Guaranteed tickets? You really are going to have to work there (it's not as bad as it sounds) My last paying year was 2008 and it was so much hassle getting tickets I said never again !

     

    You could buy tickets at record shops until the day before the gates opened in 2008?

    Sorry if this has been asked…..can you pay contactless at the bars? I can’t remember 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Yeah (unless the terminals are down).

    They pay a transaction fee to the card companies don’t they ? 

    They do, but they will also pay a fee to bank cash. The cash fee is usually higher.

    There’s been absolutely no movement on my tickets, See still saying “Tickets will be sent by secure post. A signature may be required on delivery.” 

    Anyone else still in the same boat? When should I begin to panic?

     

    Now

    I’m presuming a cov fan too? God I’m nervous 😂 enjoy blur, they were fantastic in Colchester 

    Got to be with that username 

  8. I'm staying in Sticklinch again this year, but in a Yurt instead of a Bell Tent. Can anyone remember (or still have the email from last year) which colour area the Yurts are in? (Bell tents were in yellow)

    I've found this photo, but can't really make out the tent types.

    Off to see everybody’s eleventh or twelfth favourite Britpop band Space on Friday in Chester (a bit mean that, they have a few boss tunes) but only cos I’ve found out that Oranj Son are the support. They just turn up every now and then, little notice, and sound brilliant. I had already boxed off tickets for Liverpool for them in a few weeks but this is a cool bonus. Sound is really good at Live Rooms and they absolutely deserve good quality tech. 

    I saw Space last year, they were great!

    Maybe if these crafty places stopped trying to rip people off they'd sell more? 

    This cloudwater crowd charge 6 quid for a can for some of their beers. Get fucked lads. 

    If they can't make enough profit to continue trading, doesn't that indicate that their prices aren't high enough to cover their material and running costs?
