Most old council estates are privately owned now. Many newer ones are also being sold as shared ownership.

This is where Europe labelling and certification make more sense. L, M , H and H asbestos. Having a HEPA filter is like saying your clothes is 100% polyester, doesn't really say anything useful.

That's false, Blackwall tunnel is completely banned for non-motor traffic. The pedestrian path way is for emergency use only and it's blocked off at both ends. Going down there with a bike is suicidal and also prohibited. During my 7 years commute on the A2 I have never seen a single bicycle down the tunnel.

You sure you're not mistaken for Rotherhithe tunnel?

edit: I see you're referring to Greenwich tunnel. Fair points.

All good but you know that every single hydrogen car contains a generator that powers an electric motor, right?

If batteries take so much space how comes EVs have FRUNKs while no ICE does? Oh because there's no need for a massive engine block, center diff, etc.

If you want to beat the efficiency, why not have everything nuclear powered?

The software (firmware) is great but the community especially over on Discord leaves a lot to be desired. They have this sanctimonious holier-than-thou attitude towards beginners and anyone dared to question their approach. Check out Thomas Sanladerer's saga with them, it's quite eye-opening.

Completely absence from this are the loss due to lower Benefit in Kind (BIK) for Electric vehicles, and First Year Allowances for EV purchases. Driving an EV means only paying 1-2% per year tax compared to 30-40% for a locally polluting vehicles. First Year allowances mean you claim back 100% of the cost of the EV to offset any taxable income.

These business rates mean owning an EV outright as a normal employee is very dumb. Would you rather pay £300 per month for a PCP on a Zoe, or £150 a month for a Taycan as a company car?

You will NEVER catch the perpetrator. Period. Also the cost of enforcement will quickly outpace any revenue gained, as council's parking enforcements has shown.

Even when caught says on CCTV, there's no guarantee you can find and fine the driver. There are over half a million uninsured cars on the UK streets at any time. Twice that many uninsured drivers. Even getting them to pay for insurance is hard enough, how difficult do you think it'd be to get them to pay £10k fine?

That's simply not true. Being very involved with Neighbourhood Watch and a CBV for the Met myself, I can tell you how many times residents reported drug dealings (with legitimate proofs and intel) vs the number of time the police actually did anything.

There are 4 PCSOs, 1 PS and 1 PO covering over 17,000 household where I live. Effective policing is simply not possible, drug related or not.

Did they interview the tourists and ask if tourists came because of the Bitcoin adoption?

Quoting an article where someone's confounding causation and correlation does not absolve you from the sin of committing the same.

He's right but it's only in optimal condition where you can get cheap rate electricity. Driving in London is very efficient for EVs, you can hit 5mpkWh with ease since traffic is so bad. To cover 100 miles you only need 20kWh, at 5p/kWh off peak charging it's £1/100 miles. Equivalent petrol/diesel at £1.9/l and 55mpg is about £15/100 miles.

For public charging the rate is several times more than 5p/kWh, equalising the numbers somewhat.

The running joke of hardcore Remainers is to let Scotland leave the UK, join the Union and then allow the rest of UK to apply to unite with Scotland. That's the best of all worlds, everyone is unhappy except for bureaucrats who will have lifetimes employment to handle the negotiations.

>> It approached the pyre and grabbed the body, The Print reported. The elephant then trampled on her body again, and threw it away before fleeing.

>> The funeral was completed a few hours later.

What a ghastly scene. If I'd attended that funeral I would have never been the same again.

Can you fight fire with fire? Can't you spam trustpilot with 5 stars reviews for your own business? Can they delete all of the spams? If you don't pay them to get 'verified' then drown out any bad reviews with good ones. Looking at how garbage their spam filters are it's not impossible.
