      This makes sense, take Skoda with the Enyaq and Elroq. What’s the difference? 20cm! That’s it, the Elroq is 20cm shorter than the Enyaq, the specs are almost identical after that.

        I’ve driven the Enyaq 85 Edition for almost two years and absolutely love it, great on motorways, nice firm drive. My only criticism is visibility when parking or navigating country lanes and passing places, I find the door sides really high, you struggle to look down over the top of them, I’m not small at 6ft but I find the Enyaq doors really high. Think of trying to see the white lines of a parking space, it’s impossible.

            We had this when my mum died, think from memory the bond stays in the draws for 3-6 months after the death. I wouldn’t hold out much hope with 1 bond. Rates went up this month.

              I think £85-£95 for 14 doors is over the top, they’re doing 14 doors ffs, they’ll be there a few days which gives them a day rate of £500-£600.  £95 each for 2 doors I can understand but this is a couple of days work for them.

              I’ve absolutely been put off having any work done on the house because I can pick holes out of every job I’ve had done in the last few years. Worst was a painter and decorator who didn’t even wipe the windowsill before painting it, he painted bits into the woodwork. He came back and put it right after I left his review.

                If you don’t need the state pension at the moment and it pushes you into the higher tax band, I’d personally defer. As for Burnham changing things. I think changes like this would be leaked for months before hand giving you time to reassess. My state pension age is now 67,  heaven knows what it’ll be in 9-10 years when I can actually take it.

                    As to the responses,  this is a forum where many disable people come together.  Not only with physical disability.

                    Spot on comment by @kdwolf, I regularly turn the other cheek on here and don’t bite for that exact reason.

                      Cheers Chris, that’s reassuring, I took the battery out earlier to be safe. I’ll put it back in again tomorrow. 👍

                        We had the Britta one for years, it fitted perfectly in the fridge door. Asda do their own brand for just £8 with a 2 pack of filters just £6.

                          I had air con on today with windows up but it was still too hot. I got out and Mrs Joe was in stitches laughing, I had what she described as 2 sweat angels imprinted on the back of my T shirt.

                              I think the first thing he will do will be to lower VAT for the hospitality industry, his great friend in Manchester is Sacha Lord who owns some of Manchesters biggest nightclubs and was responsible for the night time industry association in Manchester. Sacha has said Burnham should reduce VAT on hospitality to 10% to help businesses. Watch this space.

                                He had to go, the man just couldn’t make a decision. His legal experience held him back. I think Burnham will be a breath of fresh air. Can’t see there being a contest as Streeting has just given Burnham his support, can’t see anyone beating him in a contest it’s just a waste of time.

                                    I think one take home from Makerfield is how the left got behind Burnham and the Right vote was split, whilst Burnham easily beat all right wing parties combined. I have family in Manchester and spend a lot of time there, Burnham is very popular, I heard on the radio the last Mayoral vote not only did he win every ward across Greater Manchester he won every individual ballot box.

                                      Received an e-mail from motability today offering an extension of our lease for 15 months, never requested one came out of the blue, they’re willing to extend until January 2028 Shame that they couldn’t be this helpful years ago The extension was also offering the same lease terms 20k miles per annum and the tyres as per usual Still going through with the Tesla Have they been reading my emails??? Or has Elon grassed on me

                                      Sounds like it’s dawning on them how many people are serious about leaving the scheme.

                                        Taking of racing drivers, I wonder how many Motability customers realise that Graham Hill, the 1960’s successful British racing driver and father of Damien Hill, was one of the main campaigner’s to get the three wheeler Invalid car replaced with the Mobility Allowance, in 1976, which in turn led to. Motability in 1977/78. As Michael Caine would say.

                                        What an absolutely brilliant piece of information. I absolutely did not know that. Though we should all be aware 30p Lee and his Reform buddies would have disabled folk relying on them today if they were in power.

                                          I thought England were excellent in the second half. Really enjoyed the game.

                                          Spot on Brydo, I think Tuchel gave them the hairdryer at halftime. What a game. Late night Friday for Scotland, 11pm for a game WTF!

                                            What a game, best game of the tournament so far, even for the neutral.

                                            Croatia are no mugs, that fills me with confidence, was watching in a pub in Cornwall and it absolutely went up when the third goal went in at the start of the second half.

                                              Ed has always campaigned for carers rights and an increase in carers allowance. Cameron was a very wealthy Tory who never struggled to pay a bill in his life, completely different people.

                                                It was a great win and fantastic tactics by Ferrari. Even though he pitted during the VSC he’d have still won with that 20 second lead. Ferrari and Lewis are back! And 3 Brits on the podium 👌.

                                                      Agreed, but the way the country is divided they could be in another coalition and with Ed having a disabled son I doubt he would agree to severe cuts to disability benefits.
