    He was actually questioning the comment about “taking away the old age pensioners free bus passes”. I’ve certainly not heard anything about that.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    We've used ZapMap in the past, but we don't go out of home range very often. But we've recently moved to Octopus and set up with Electroverse, as others have mentioned. At the moment, though, we're charging off free sunlight. :cool:

    Yep, and we got our solar panels installed after years of procrastination. Anyone else feeling pressure to act like an adult now? 🤓

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Have they noticed that several of our local MPs were sworn in using FOREIGN language? Well, Cornish, actually. And they had to do it in English first.

    [Technology] Advice sought, purchasing and installing solar panels

    Well, we seem to be generating this morning, despite the gloomy, wet weather! The new system is 14 panels plus a 13kwh GivEnergy battery. We also have the extra box required to keep the house fully powered in the event of power cuts - we previously assumed all systems would keep running, but...

    [Technology] Advice sought, purchasing and installing solar panels

    Thought I’d bounce this thread, as it’s been dormant for exactly two years… We’ve been having a solar and battery system installed over the last couple of days, and the guys are just in the commissioning process. Looking forward to seeing how well it all works. Any other recent solar newbies?

    I’ve only used the Sport mode once on my e208. Floored it from a standing start and was almost immediately 10mph over the speed limit, uphill! Eco all the way now

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    I barely use the brakes on my Peugeot e208. My driving style is “relaxed”, and the car has a “brake mode” which is effectively engine-braking combined with regenerative charging. Brilliant for the local winding hill roads. And the e208 is probably lighter than most other EVs.

    Sod Voter ID, we need Candidate ID.

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    I don’t think every area in the UK has the same annual influx of tourists as we do in Cornwall, and we have the additional problem of being at the far end of the country. Treliske can’t cope with the local population outside the tourist season, and the tourists don’t bring extra funding.

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    Yes, and apart from the second home / Airbnb problem, our main hospital in Cornwall can’t cope financially or physically with all the extra people.

    We didn’t have much of a summer in Cornwall last year either. 😕☔️

    Just wait until they introduce their “15 minute city” regime. That’ll curtail his fun. 😡

    If anyone’s interested, I can confirm that the father of the new Labour MP in Camborne and Redruth is an Albion fan. 👍🥳🥟
