Cupra models the most unreliable used cars as Lexus takes top spot in What Car? survey (UK) in c/cars@lemmy.world

Cupra aren't just EV's, they are Seat, they just changed the name in 2018, and all Seat have been since 1986 is a mish mash of the VAG parts bin.

Depends on where you live, the two European countries that I've lived and worked in my employers would allow additional leave for funerals of aunts, uncles, cousins and some even allowed for the death of a pet.

I've watched 4 episodes, it sticks nicely to the theme and format of the original 4 panel cartoon. Me and my teen are thoroughly enjoying it, my wife on the other hand spends most of the episodes just looking confused.

Ministers diverted £136m from electric car fund to Sizewell C nuclear project despite infrastructure concerns (inews.co.uk)
 

The Government diverted £136m away from its electric vehicle (EV) supply chain fund to the UK’s main nuclear reactor project Sizewell C, i can reveal.

The Automotive Transformation Fund, a Government initiative designed to make it easier for car manufacturers to build and develop electric vehicles in the UK, spent just 5 per cent of its initially allocated funding in the year to March 2023, according to Government documents seen by i.

Given an initial budget of £191m, just £7m was spent and 76 per cent of the funding arrangement was transferred to the Sizewell C project, the construction of the UK’s first new nuclear power station in more than 30 years.

Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang (youtu.be)
 

"(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" is a song by British synth-pop band Heaven 17. It was their debut single, released on 6 March 1981, and the lead single from their debut studio album, Penthouse and Pavement (1981). It was a minor hit in the UK in 1981, despite being banned by the BBC. It was also a minor dance hit in the US. It developed from an instrumental, "Groove Thang", that Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh created earlier that year for Music for Stowaways, an album they released as British Electric Foundation.
