Has anyone else noticed that despite the proliferation of green renewables hasn’t reduced the price of energy. I suspect that what happens is the savings are pocketed by the installer. We have half our electric in Andalucia from renewables and yet our bills are rocketing too.

There will be a lot of youngsters that have never lived through inflation.

Fuel here has gone up nearly 10% in a couple of weeks. I dare say the situation in the Ukraine is not helping. It won’t be long before increased transport costs feeds into everyday items like groceries.

How long before wage rise demands ( and strikes?).?

My bad, it was the hugely successful Ital estate that had the 2.0 litre engine. They didn”t make many..

Rear axle would be too live ( ly) with the big engine! Did the estates have a 2.0 litre.

Wow! 22 bids and £5400! 

Anyone fancy a road trip from Finland to England?   

I might need a navigator! 

Sat nav. Use the passenger seat for spare parts in case you break down!

How much higher are you prepared to bid?

It is about safety of uk roads. Fatalities up despite cars being safer.

Probably down to new generation having shorter attention spans but lets see.

Could be worse ( or better) if you live in Austria everyone over 18 will be vaccinated or have a good excuse. Fines if not rising to 3600 euros  if you have the temerity to contest.

This is in prep for an out of court settlement, can't be traced back to the royal coffers and 'tax payers' funding randy Andys antics

Can’t see it being settled out of court otherwise it would already have been. Surely.

There are so many unanswered questions on both parties for me. Are we looking at the tip of the iceberg?

Laughing stock?

Plenty of countries near Britain have their own scandals etc. they dont get widely reported as the UK is obsessed with English speaking countries ie the USA.

Austria “ Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has stepped down, after pressure triggered by a corruption scandal.
He has proposed Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg as his replacement.
Mr Kurz and nine others were placed under investigation after raids at a number of locations linked to his conservative People's Party (ÖVP).“

Sweden’s pm employing an illegal cleaner.

A poll of Tory party members recentlly put Sunak up there with Boris.

The other contenders were all just also rans.

Don’t forget people have very very short memories. When it kicks off in Ukraine, Boris no doubt will score points.

I too would love to know who is drip feeding these revelations to the media. Rishi? The glasses trip man ( Cummings)?
