    Your thoughts on modern cars "safety" aids?

    Luckily I drive an 8yr old Skoda so can turn off most of the features. I never even use cruise control so I doubt I'd like lane assist etc... One of the things stopping me from buying a new motor is the drive so many of them have had to remove physical buttons and put everything on the screen...

    Shader aircraft shoot down Iranian drones

    I work with a guy from Iran, always says he's from Persia when asked. Really nice lad and very clever (think he and his wife have 3 or 4 degrees between them). I concur with you that many citizens there would welcome regime change..

    TG1 Retention again

    I fully get the arguments of non degree qualified people subsidising the education of those who get the degrees (and usually better paid jobs) if it was the old grants system etc but the means tested bit really bugs me. Now I have finally worked my way to a decent wage I want to be overpaying my...

    TG1 Retention again

    I'm going to go a little off the thread topic here but relates to what you're saying. My son is in the first year of A levels at the moment and as much as I want to push him down the engineer route for available jobs / job security his heart is set on Sports Science. I'm now asking him to...

    New Accomodation Model

    Very well written article that is a sobering read. Such a bad deal for the forces and the public, pretty shameful to be honest..

    New Accomodation Model

    I know it's been 10 yrs since I left but I don't think there would be great animosity for officers having the slightly bigger houses they occupy now if the OR's accommodation was of good standard and mould free.... :unsure:

    Pulling the plug?

    Slightly off topic but there's definitely been a recent trend from most manufacturers to remove physical buttons and stick all controls on a screen. Some try to do it intelligently by having permanent areas for fan / heat control etc but often you need to hunt through menus to find and change...

    Your energy tips

    Yep good questions. My main regret about the install I had was going too low with battery capacity (modular system, 3x 2.5kW for 7.5kW total). The battery quality from Sonnen is good if a little pricy but I only get a max of 3.5kW output which means I can't run tumble dryer / washing machine /...

    Your energy tips

    It's crazy that they scaled back the grants for insulation roll-out everywhere back in about 2012... A massive chunk of it would have been done by now.. Obviously this is all with my best Captain Hindsight suit on and no access to the budget figures and cuts they needed to make at the time...

    Your energy tips

    If you have solar and a battery you'll naturally use less from the grid anyway so the savings are even less, 13p for starving and freezing for 3hrs is ridiculous... It's imperative the finances balance out, as mentioned above I'm really keen on going as eco as possible but I can't even justify...

    Prepare for War....

    Not a hope conscription will come back short of a full on Russian style invasion of Ukraine by someone like Germany or France... The list of objections on moral / medical / ethical / religious grounds would be enormous, let alone any litigation or lawsuits. The ability of people to "do as...

    Your energy tips

    £10k for 20 panels and 6Kw battery!! You must have got in there before the prices sky rocketed, cost me £14k for 10 panels (3.8kW total array) and 7.5kW battery back in 2021. I've been looking at getting an EV to take advantage of cheap overnight tariffs but I can't justify getting rid of my...
