    It's literally the way you write it.

    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    It was around 1979/1980 when it broke the £1/gallon, I remember it as I naively thought I would never see it go that high. Have a look at the table attached below showing price per gallon for every year since 1896 and see if it matches your memory.

    What makes you feel old?

    Ah those were the days. Writing programs on coding sheets, sending them to data prep to punch the cards and checking them when they came back hoping you (and they) had coded/punched it right first time. Coded in Cobol, RPG2 and Assembler then. Thankfully that all ended very soon after I started.

    Use the most efficient for the week's daily commute of 250 miles, the best with the cold starts out and the traffic on the way home.

    EP, Extended Play. I have some upstairs from the 60s, 7 inch, same size as a single and still played at 45rpm, the grooves are much tighter. Mine have just 2 tracks per side. I think the more 'modern' ones might have more tracks and and maybe play at 33rpm, but I don't have any of them.

    EV Tariffs Withdrawn

    Yep, the price cap only applies to the price cap tariff for each supplier. However it seems to be the one to compare to or complain about. Oh it might be cheap overnight but it costs more during the day than the price cap.....etc etc type scenarios, so still worth mentioning.

    MG5 2024 Charging Speeds

    Yes, but consider whether you actually need to spend that money. How often will you be charging on destination (7/11/22kW) EVSE 'chargers' ? How many of those will be of the 11/22kW variety? Your current cable is perfect for your home charging, assuming you are on single phase, and for probably...

    Two approaches to solar install. Thoughts appreciated!

    But surely, (don't call me Shirley) at the moment it is better, so at the moment do it. Your second part is an IF, so IF that happens in the future change to suit. Flexibility in approach. :)

    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    I am in a similar quandary but only for reason 3, where not viable is currently outweighing the environment benefit. :( re the other 2, not bothered because 1 - not heard any horror stories re roof, but have heard many others good, can't let one story override all others. 2 - the kids would...

    Now we just say "hello" and the other end then says "Is that.......(insert name)" or is that just me ?

    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    So if they can deliver 'tomorrow' am I right in thinking that would be from existing stock, so maybe a bit of profiteering going on ?? Or am I being a little simple in my thinking ?

    EV Tariffs Withdrawn

    For the price cap, these are the "average" UK rates before and after April. Average because of course they vary region to region. The price drop represents the amount of fixed costs that have been moved to general taxation and is nothing to do with the price of electricity. The price cap is set...
