Not all of it will. DS, and perhaps even Vauxhall/Opel must be worried?

And yet that 6.1% of gas makes up 100% of our bills? That’s clearly wrong.

I think my French bulldog would add another 1% to the total from being downwind of her this morning…🤣

Space to answer is important. The space that might well incriminate themselves. Longer form interviews allow the conversation to breathe. That’s why I prefer podcasts and why Reform don’t tend to do them.

You are having a similar morning to me. Thought the coffee machine was broken until I noticed the plug was pulled out. Bet you can guess which bright spark did that…🙄

Trump is a “leading” proponent of the dead cat theory. If he was really worried about the diesel he wouldn’t have hit Iran… It’s all about the bots.

I wanted to follow in the father’s footsteps as a doctor. Mainly after his aborted attempt to buy a Merc SL. Didn’t quite get the A’s so became an optician. (On more money🤷‍♂️) So got the TT, IS200, 350Z, Mini Cooper S and er, Volvo S60 T5.

Shame, it looks class. I guess it’s the wrong time of year. If only I was about four inches shorter and a spare space on the drive…😢

I was in A&E and the man next to me said “I don’t want to be seen by a darky” (yes really!) I told him loudly to “fuxk away home and suffer, let the next person get seen who will appreciate their skill and professionalism!” To a cheer of those waiting. Belfast in two parts.

That is for one pampered and wealthy dog?

Agreed. Falsifying accounts is still a criminal offence. The partners should be held responsible and prosecuted. If I, when an optician, was involved in that sort of scheme I would be struck off the GOC register. For life.

Wrong wrong wrong. Two guys I know are having their respective boyfriends deported to India. (Both to arranged marriages) The first a doctor, the second a pharmacist. Both working in the NHS.

Reminds me of my SIL’s comment. Four nuts holding the wheel. Three holding the tyres on and one holding the steering wheel.🤣 You are correct. Three studs only!

According to Top Gear it will start at €15k (£12.7k) and they estimate about 170 mile range. Although the one that everyone will want will be €20k! (Possibly made cheaper by the electric car grant) Designed by Gilles Vidal. (Of R4/5/Twingo fame) You can tell. Fabulous.

Nope, sorry. Although it did give me a good laugh when I first saw one. Probably the most underrated cars of all time though.

As Renault has proved, design sells. In the face of the Chinese onslaught this and their heritage will be key. Tho the T-16 looks like it’d got the arse of the Megane

Perhaps they are showing the design of the fuel filler as the owner will be spending a lot of time there?

👏👏 Let hope they give the actual car some sidewall in the tyres. It should handle like it might scrape the door handles.

Matt silver. My paint sprayer mate said any colour is ok but never buy matt. Easily damaged and a bastard to repair.

You are right. I guess once makers started the light at across the front it was only a matter of time?

Good point. Those that can make changes aren’t. The evidence is all around us and yet those we elect don’t regard it as a priority . Until it becomes one. Then it is too late.

Well my Father certainly did. He did call me gay boy when I was little. I guess it was his medical training🤣🤣

I actually saw an Alpine A190 in the wild at last. Have to say it looks fan-fucking-tastic.

And made it only slightly less odd looking than the original?

Of course Farage sticks by his friends. Unless those friends are called James Orr or Dan Jukes.

My OH was a huge strictly fan. He has stopped citing that the budget, and the names, are all in The Traitors now. Even Claudia has jumped ship.

My sister just said “and?” Although I did come out to my father in a public toilet. Priceless.

Thanks for this. For an electric city car that’s amazing. It just shows the giant leap forward the automakers are making. Makes my £30k Renault 5 look almost expensive…

David @thefatfryer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
It makes sense. I stopped with the R5 as it doesn’t show the mileage unless the car is turned off. As your GRMN has only a slightly higher range than mine (although quicker if more expensive to fill) the remaining range is vital.

Class. They are hoping to bring it to market by ‘28 at a very very low price. (According to the Autocar podcast) The A segment market is definitely getting better and better. Go for it Citroen. Look how well the R5 has done.

I read earlier that the attacks on Russian data centres has taken out many of the pro Trump bots over on Twitter. It’s definitely not a bad move. Just bad for Trump.

The semi hidden division in NI will continue until all children are educated in an integrated manner. They need to know that we are all the same. Learning together is a crucial first step . Interesting, thought provoking article. As we are.

Your take on the policy is laudable. Unfortunately another Green Party member is arguing that anything owned by anyone other than the workers is wrong. I think that’s communism not eco-populism.
