Oh gawd!!!! I think I would have gone berserk All the public charger companies are putting the price of a charge up due to the high cost of electricity, BP Pulse have just put their 50kW DC charger price up to 38p/kWh if you're registered with them or 40p/kWh if you pay by contactless.
I've never used a public charger yet

As the two cows said when the bull entered the field, "Do you think he's going to charge us?"

Heh heh heh All the big oil boys have bought up a lot of the public charging network now & prices are rising, No doubt because of the sky high price of energy but it will be interesting to see if it falls in price as quickly unlike their petrol station prices when electricity prices drop.



Mmmmmm!! Just had a packet of McCoys 'Thai sweet chicken crisps' Boy are they nice or what.

That's good to know. Saw them the other day and wondered what they were like.

Just had a fun hour cleaning the drain on the kitchen sink, draining slowly. Took the u-bend off and surprised to see it clear Problem was coming from "sludge" built up just below the plug 'ole. Running free now.

Got a two day music and craft fair in the museum this weekend, can hear somebody giving it big licks with the banjo!

That's cool, I never got around to trying a banjo, the nearest I got was a mandolin. I jammed along to Copperhead Rd' in this video about six years ago.
