I'm going to start looking for a new phone soon to replace my OnePlus 6T, and the 13 looks so good, except for the fact it's absurdly huge. I wish the 13T was released globally!

I think the only other option is the pixel 9, but not sure about battery life and slower charging.

Good to know, cheers!

Ah damn! No warning at all? Do you know how long you expect the power to be off for?

Cheers for your advice! Honestly it's extremely unlikely I'd do it myself. I'd need to get at tonne of scaffolding and I wouldn't know anything about attaching the panels to the roof or doing any of the wiring!

On a normal system, if the grid goes down you cant use you solar or battery(may not be a problem for you), for this you need a back up box with off grid capability.

Is this because there's no way to dump any excess electric back into the grid? I don't think this is too much of a worry for me though, I don't recall a power outage in the past 8 years of us living here! touch wood

Is this the Finnish equivalent to a cockerel crowing in the morning?

The thick layer of wasps and flies on the yoghurty windows would also help.

As a parent of two young kids, there's definitely times where getting kidnapped sounds good.

You've been painting in this weather? Are you OK? :D The paint was probably drying before it even went onto the walls!

Yeah my week was fine ta, was just rather hot! I work from home and it was pretty unbearable on Friday. Seriously starting to think about investing in solar & A/C given that the summers are going to continue like this!

Fortunately it's a lot cooler today, it's looking like it could rain soon.

But Heidi Alexander would not confirm whether it would give grants to encourage motorists to switch when asked by Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, following a report in the Telegraph, external that Labour is poised to unveil £700m in subsidies.

Isn't this the very thing they need to be incentivising? Switching from ICE to EV vehicles?

For people without off-street parking - like those living in blocks of flats or terraced houses - charging an EV overnight can often be challenging, while on-street charging points can be far more expensive than charging from a mains socket.

What about offering people without a drive but with an EV some kind of discount when using public chargers?
