They look fancy

Yeah, I have two EVs so it's never going to be negative but, so far this year, I'm on £480 electric used and £611 exported with £350 in gas, or -£219 all in.

That's with about 18,000 miles driven and wfh for two people most days.

Thanks - that's great info.

I've got 19.9kWh (18 usable really with 10% SoC reserved) which I top up at 7p overnight. On average over the winter, I'm using about 30-40% of the battery, leaving about 11kWh so I could get away with just using the battery on most days which would mean a daily cost to heat of 70p.

Octopus is 28p per kWh in peak (5.30-23.30) so I would assume I would probably use, on really bad days, maybe 20kWh peak which would be £5.80 but I assume less as there's time overnight which I'd get the lower rate.

Sounds great.

What's your actual daily kW usage for it though? Asking as I have the 20kWh battery and wondering how much will get eaten by that.

4.0 is still pretty great. I assume you're running basically 24/7 at that temp? What's it pulling per day in kW?

How is it affecting CoP? Defrost cycles are pretty power hungry, right?

Boooo

Just got one.

I got in the queue and it just says unavailable.

Good news it there are a few on eBay at low costs already so hoping scalpers continue the trend downwards. There's a few on there that are only £30 more than RRP.

Nice packaging touches.

The only 30th anniversary thing I was able to get my hands on arrived today.

I had a slim bought through Argos but they fucked up and cancelled all orders.

Looks great. I hear pink mosaic tiles are in this year.

Avoid as installer in my experience

Mate, you chat some nonsense on here sometimes and this is right up there.

To cover off your points briefly:

1. I know the speed as I glanced at my speed (22 indicated), 1-3 seconds before he passed me as a noticed him pulling toward my back wheel and looking around me approaching the traffic island. This is corroborated by the speed rating on my Datatool tracker. As he passed me, he was travelling anywhere between 1.5 and 2x my speed and accelerating as was clearly evident by the sound of his revs increasing
   
2. This was not ‘in the past’. It was around 2-4 seconds between him passing me and the impact.
   
3. It did not make me unhappy. It made my wary of his behaviour to the point that I checked my speed and adjusted my road position to avoid him.
   

The car came out from behind a stopped lorry with no visibility of traffic when the light was green / going amber, heading the opposite direction to traffic.

I would say he has blame for the incident though there's weighting towards the bike for sure.

Having watched a few legal eagle episodes on 44teeths channel, I don't believe speed is a black and white factor in judgement though it's obviously a serious thing to consider.

The police have already called me, taken further details and asked for a formal statement as they don't have CCTV which is incredible given how built up the area is. I will of course give a statement for what I saw.

Now with pictures.... ^

Was just before the large junction at Finsbury Park

Witnessed a pretty bad motorbike accident this morning. Bloke on an SV650 went over the front of a Toyota Corolla. He was awake and talking but his back and left leg started hurting as the adrenaline wore off. I stayed for about 30 mins whilst police arrived and took details.

Probably 60:40 on the bike. He overtook me, on the wrong side of a traffic island doing 35-40 (in a 20) about 5 seconds before the crash. The driver was Uber I think and had dropped off a passenger and was rejoining the road going in the opposite direction. A lorry had let the driver go across him and the bike didn't see until it was too late and couldn't slow down. Reckless from both parties.

He was lucky he hit the front of the car at an angle and went over the bonnet rather than side on otherwise I think it would have been much worse.

Hope he's on the mend soon. Fingers crossed it's a learning moment for both.

Nice to see one in its natural habitat.

Ah. That would be the 4 tip trips previous to putting the shelves up.

New tool day.

I don’t understand

Finally sorted out my wood stock with a couple of new shelves to separate the planks / offcuts from the sheets.

So much neater and easy to access things.

Anyone else’s cat totally obsessed with one person in the family? Tubs has always been my wife’s cat but it’s embarrassing how much she fawns over my wife at all opportunities.

Like, have some self respect. 😂

I had never heard of them until 2 days ago now my YT feed is full of them and they're being mentioned on here. Not really my thing but can't fault their PR team

That's awesome. Can completely understand your kids lack of give a fuck though.
