Having listened to the cringe-fest on 5Live this morning, i'm glad i watched it on telly rather than listen on the radio - I find Vicki Sharp's commentary very screechy and her vocal style just irritates me (as do some male commentators). Robyn Cowen on BBC1, on the other hand, was a really...

I thought Millie Bright was caught off-guard or out of position a few times last night. Earps is a great keeper, with a great command of her box, though she won't have been pleased by being beaten at the near post for their goal.

I have previously had a bit of a negative attitude towards the women's game, after trying to watch a few matches (between clubs that were supposed to be in the higher echelons of the English game, and even internationals) and being frankly quite shocked as to how poor the standard was. This...

And people at supermarket checkouts who are always surprised by having to pay, so wait until they are told how much it is before even looking for their purse/wallet/phone or whatever! And don't even get me started on the seemingly lost art of negotiating a roundabout ! Grrrrrr!

The problem is that some energy suppliers claim to be buying (up to) 100% of their energy from renewable generators (solar and wind, i assume). If solar has come down in price by 90%, how the fuck are our energy bills not doing likewise - at least a little bit?

Incidentally, prices in the area this morning:- Tesco Cannon Park 186.9 Shell Warwick Rd, Kenilworth 179.9 Texaco Warwick Road, Kenilworth 179.9 Tesco and the other supermarkets are now taking the piss. The supermarkets are being reported to the Competition & Markets Authority i understand...

The cynic in me says that might be the intention!

Especially when areas with higher indices of deprivation will be in that one-third. We're creating a two-tier society here and potentially pushing people into poverty by forcing them to buy cars for which there is no cheap alternative.

I'm incredibly fortunate to be in a position to even consider anything electric when my old diesel had to move on, but if i hadn't had a windfall there is no way i would have been able to afford anything other than a second hand ICE. I'm with NW on this - climate crisis measures should not be...

It's a bit bonkers - my PHEV is perfectly capable of driving into Oxford on electric only, but doesn't qualify for a discount, so is classified as an "ultra-low emission vehicle". A Citroen PHEV i was interested in emits a light signal to ULEZ cameras to indicate when it is running in EV mode...

Damn those pesky decimal points!!

From that article:- "According to this data-set the lifetime emissions of a plug-in hybrid average around 28 tonnes of CO2. By comparison, the average petrol or diesel car is estimated to emit between 39 and 41 tonnes of CO2 from fuel during its lifetime, a conventional hybrid would typically...

Anyway, back to the subject of fuel prices ... Friday in Warwick Road, Kenilworth, both the Shell and Texaco were selling E10 at £179.9. Today in Evesham, Tesco are still at £187.9. I understand someone influential has asked the Competition & Markets Authority to investigate the supermarkets who...

Buy an electric, self-charging hybrid, PHEV or ICE, whatever you want, but do more research than Grendel has before you do. I have just bought a PHEV with a real world range of 50 miles. I can charge at home, drive to work on pure electric, charge on my employer's charging network and drive home...

There is a new estate of about 30 houses being built by a housing association near where i live, and they don't have solar panels on their rooves. They should be forced to do so in this day and age.

OK, when China is buying up vast tracts of land in Africa to exploit the mineral resources, they need to be investing in renewable energy schemes there at the same time. Would that work, do you think?

It was only by accident - they thought EastEnders would be on!! But seriously, that is a good figure. I didn't watch a lot of it, but i thought the standard was really high. And that winning goal was technically as good as you'll see in the men's game. Still one thing that troubles me is how...

Signed as centre-back?? :)

"Water required in producing bottles and other parts of production and delivery" will essentially be equivalent to any packaged milk. They factor the amount of water grass consumes in growing into the consumption to produce milk? And yet oats seemingly don't need any water to grow if Tony's...

How on earth does cow's milk take 800 litres of water to produce a litre?
