That together with the planning going into creating congestion on the roads.

When the Beeching axe fell i doubt London noticed Coloured lines Historic red today

The big mistake was made by Beeching, instead of using the local lines to create his Intercity network, knocking many local services to hourly and less, they should have built the High speed networks when they had the room. we could now have trams on all the old lines. This is a map of Railway lines in my local area. The green (L&YR) and purple(LNWR) lines are Historic the red are today You can have a look where you live https://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php

I remember as a child going on Holiday to the IOM in the 1960s We went on the Train/foot/ferry the luggage was sent via parcelforce/post office two weeks before and we got it back two weeks after we came home. Those were the days. I was the first in my immediate family to have a car, i know which i prefer.

"The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires in 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent" Whichever group you look at fires are rare. They just make big news.

They fly around the country

Maybe these people can help? https://www.group1auto.co.uk/skoda/motability-adaptations

"So unless I have some genetic deformity and have grown 2 right arms, how can disabled drivers press the brake AND select a gear at the same time???" If the vehicle had "autohold" on the handbrake would that not allow for that in an automatic?

Sun Cable, owned by billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, said the approval was “a vote of confidence” in the project.

Is there a permanent 12v power socket in the octavia? Anything plugged in that?

I would look in the boot in one of the cubby holes left or right

Another site, https://ukfree.tv/maps/freeview click on transmitter icon and it lights the signal up in green, the full service Oxford transmitter appears to reach Highworth You can zoom quite close to address

That manhattan box also available with 1TB of hard drive if you record a lot.. But it with a Smart Tv also ethernet connected covers most needs.

If i lived there and was limited to receiving from Seagry court, having just moved in i would switch to a Freesat hdr box https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Seagry_Court Manhattan T4-R Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder https://www.richersounds.com/manhattan-t4r-500gb/ Double check before buying one of these it is available as a freeview (ariel) box and a Freesat (dish) box . the link maybe the wrong one https://www.expertreviews.com/uk/tvs/1407841/best-freesat-hd-boxes

Is it a communal aerial or just your property?

How far have you moved? Did you need an aerial amplifier before? Try just using the aerial without it https://www.bt.com/content/dam/bt/help/legacy/YouView_from_BT_user_guide_(H3 v8).pdf try a reset? If your tv has it's own tuner, try putting the aerial into it, with the bt box not connected. See if you can get it working on it's own. If the signal is sufficient to work the tv it should work as instructed connected through the bt box. Once connected back up to the btbox (as instructed) check this In your case i think you will be checking "loop through" is set to off, if you are not having the 2nd aerial cable

Would make more sense to have the charger sited on the centre line of both spaces capable of reaching either side of the car. i know it took petrol stations about 100 years to think of that, but the precedent could have been followed. Edit Didn't realise they only did one car i thought each pod had two charge cables. I see what you mean now

Why does the charger on the right not reach @Ootohere 's car if they both charge. Assuming it can reach the Tesla when charge port on the otherside? are the cables different lengths?

Most domestic properties can only charge at a maximum of 28mph. 7kw x 4? if we use 3.5 it's only 24.5mph When they give you a free hour you save 52.5p charging the car if you have the ev tariff? effectively your standing charge for the day? Good promotion to get more involved. If they get to 40% market share it's game over?

I agree it's no problem for people who can be flexible with their grid demands. If i was a lot younger and had the finances to build a solar array and have power banks, i would be seriously investigating the possibility of going off grid. The real world unfortunately has people who do not have such funds, are committed by circumstance to use electricity in no other way than to cook before and after work etc on the traditional 9-5 work regime. So cannot benefit apart from giving up their weekends to do the washing. Once we get to the 100% electric car goal these "non-peak" times will also reduce

I admire your optimism and faith in this renewable utopia and hope it all works out for the consumer. One thing that can be guaranteed is the respective companies seeking increasing annual revenue turnover and profit. I don't think there is a "might" in your prediction of higher 4-8pm and peak time pricing once everyone has been sucked into a smart meter. They will be empowered to identify individuals use and price accordingly to the point were "peak times" can be customised at client level.

Maybe you could get an independent garage just to change the oil and filter in between but using genuine skoda parts?
