Great point, what sort of a hellscape is that!?

Who decides which country is "crazy"?!

I get it, and if there was one standing next to them I'm sure he would have but your natural instinct when you haven't been served on your whole life is to help someone in this situation.

I'm not a simp for him or his party but just feel he gets a pass on this one

As I saw this happen I thought that this would be the take but in reality, what's he going to do? Just stand there and not help pick them up for him?

My take is he's just helping the elderly as Trump won't have the mobility to bend down and get them.

Great link, thanks. Wow it is. I'm not against the idea if it offers more internal space but so many SUVs/cross overs are the same size inside as a much smaller car.

We'd hired a vw t-roc for 4 and turned up with too much luggage. They encouraged us to take a bog std estate (Fiat Tipo) and it was insane how much more fit in it

Are you in the US? I'm in Europe and I think people here working in supply chains have reservations about DEI targets when buying for American companies for this same reason. We're taught to buy only based on value and capability to deliver.

I end up having this discussion with my brother alot, whether an EV is environmental friendly or not.

Our conclusion each time is that no consumption is, but if you need a car to exist then an EV is the best option. That and the truly environmentally friendly option would be to kill ourselves immediately :)

Is the Skoda Enyaq an SUV though? I kind of had in my head it was an estate

I agree, it's a step beyond the little sticker on the back of the car.

I'd do the same if I had one but pedoguygate switched me off the brand and it's never been the direction that I wanted to see EVs go (look I have a button that makes the car/range go down really fast. I also don't think talk of range without reference to battery size is helpful)

Tries afri-cola in Berlin at the weekend and that was very nice. I'm in the UK so our cola options are limited but I don't drink alot of fizzy drink anyway

Haha, it's a fair question. The bride was from Virginia and the groom was from Norfolk in the UK which is renown for a bit of family lovin' so I felt the connection needed highlighting :)

I was researching for a best man speech and saw that statistically West Virginia takes the title but hey, they're close behind I'm sure [no pun intended]

 

My 5yr old son has just been diagnosed. The diagnosis was binary (yes:no) rather than a scale which was the first lesson for me.

I need to understand how to support him and am not sure where to start. Does anyone have any advice please?

 

Ok, hit me with ideas please. I can't afford to double the cost but am prepared to pay extra for European cat food, both dry and wet.

Anyone found good options? I'm in the UK which may limit my options
