    [Albion] New shirt: yay or nay?

    I love it, and don't you admit that the stripes could be a Sheff Wed, Huddersfield, or Colchester ? They are all generic. My first 5 years supporting we wore solid blue tops (white arms), so I'm not so precious about stripes.

    [News] Say your goodbyes to free health care...

    I didn't offer an opinion of what I think, merely the facts. There are/were many other occupations that carried on working through the crisis (was that ABCD ?), Maybe everyone that did should everybody get a pay rise regardless of any previously agreed deal.

    The pay increase for those on the top points of their pay bands is only 6.5% over three years, This is from the GMB pay settlement doc of 2018 https://www.gmb.org.uk/sites/default/files/NHS-FAQs.pdf

    [News] Say your goodbyes to free health care...

    So they agreed a 3 year deal in 2018 giving them a rise this year but it's 'unacceptable' for them to honour that deal and wait until next year to negotiate a new deal after this current one expires. Well why bother with a deal in the first place then.

    [Albion] Premier League: your feelings after 3 years?

    Last season feelings were dismal, this season more enjoyable. Hopefully next season even more so.

    [Misc] Anyone got a fully electric car ?

    Interesting points made in this video regarding range and the cost of EVs. Robert Llewelyn is a car reviewer for the ordinary man and not the petrol head, he knows nothing about cars but knows a lot about EVs. It's a review of the new Vauxhall Corsa-e, not a car for everyone but......see for...

    [Misc] Anyone got a fully electric car ?

    Agree with your sentiments but ironically I will probably drive more after I retire. I use public transport to work in the city centre, cheaper than finding parking all day, so my car sits in the drive all week and only gets to come out to play at the weekends. Hopefully after retirement I will...

    There is a very good comparison website https://ev-database.uk/ which will help you find the 'real' range for an EV. in warm and cold conditions and in town and combined journeys. You can also view by range, price, most efficient etc. Having watched quite a number of programs, mostly on...

    But will I want to keep paying forever at the end of the lease deal, no I won't. Ultimately taken to it's conclusion leasing provides a regular new car in return for forever payments. Purchasing means less new cars but no payments if you keep the cars beyond payment term.

    [Misc] Anyone got a fully electric car ?

    Well of course I wont suffer the depreciation, same as I don't suffer it on my neighbours car that I don't own either. Really, Is renting your house cheaper than buying it ? I fail to see how forking out month after month for ever and end up owning nothing can be better/cheaper than owning...

    [Misc] Anyone got a fully electric car ?

    Are we talking about the same thing? Leasing is renting, at the end of the term the car is handed back, no option to purchase the car has always belonged to the lessor, same as renting a house, hence empty driveway and monthly rent having been paid for the term, empty wallet.

    Tesla the benchmark, but on the model 3, WTF is a tablet doing bolted to the middle of the dashboard to replace the instrumentation. That is just plain weird and ugly regardless of how good it is LOL.

    [Misc] Anyone got a fully electric car ?

    Leasing (renting) not desirable. At the end of 3/4 years I do not want to be left with an empty wallet and an empty driveway. PCP a possibility as a way to spread the payments, but with savings interest rates low, the cash discount is greater. I do make long journeys but not every day or week...

    [Misc] Anyone got a fully electric car ?

    I intend to purchase, retirement is on the horizon, which is getting a lot closer and don't want ongoing monthly payments. Zoe spec looks good, would need to see one in the flesh (metal) but it looks small, Clio ish size and I really want mid (focus) size at least.
