Agreed, people need to change their behaviours.

Re: Bye bye Starmer

Do you really think prescribing ozempic to jobseekers for weight loss is a good solution? I’m aware of Ozempic but don’t know much about it other than some people champion it and to others it’s controversial. I don’t think it should be mandatory as you’re suggesting it could be if they were to sanc...

As I said, very simple recipes are all there if anyone wants to have a go.

Why is obesity a social care issue?

Re: Bye bye Starmer

Education and support. A lot of the problems we’re currently having would be solved by properly funded social care. Education and support in the form of what? Cooking from scratch can be done on the cheap and there’s a million recipes on the internet, for free. I get that it’s easier to slide a fro...

What is the solution then? Because it appears a lot of people aren’t able to take the initiative themselves on what is actually a simple problem.

The population is getting fatter and it’s not all down to being poor/disabled.

Re: what car thread - Lotus Edition

I guess £30k would cover a leggy S1 and a HPE conversion. Is another £5-10k for suspension, brakes and other ‘stuff’ reasonable?

From what I remember from Dan’s conversions, £25k isn’t going to cut it… happy to be wrong :)

Re: Servicing costs.

My local Audi indy charges £170ph… Going to try main dealer tomorrow and enquire about a service pack. They used to be pretty reasonable so I took my old one there right up until I sold it at ten years old. The guy who bought it raved about the history and said he wouldn’t have considered a car with...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I have a phone holder, but the design of the dash means it sits awkwardly (I think) on the A-pillar. I'm honestly less bothered by the nav, but without the car app I'll have to move to turn on the remote heating, check the state of charge, set the charging schedule and so on. My phone’s always on t...

Re: what car thread - Lotus Edition

But of course you might find an open Exige V6 tempting: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202405059393120 Like. Re the 190 S2 Exige, is it that hard to supercharge them? Could be some interesting aftermarket options. People do SC the 190, it used to be approx £6k for a Katana but that’s goin...

Something like that with a bit of haggling?
I saw that one too but it’s five years older with 25k more miles for a similar price to the one I posted. Is that one ‘rare’ as per the advert?

The GTV remains the only car I’ve ever tried to buy where the seller warned me off.
