When you purchase a ยฃ700 coffee machine. You should get a free bag of coffee with it. Just a basic bag, nothing major but still. โ€“ at Jackton, Scotland

Yes but this would only be useful as a second car. Great for short trips and round town. Useless for any distance journey โ€“ at Mansfield, England
ยฃ7,994. For a 2024 electric car. I genuinely didnโ€™t expect to see that on Auto Trader. A few years ago, EVs felt like a ยฃ30k+ purchase. Now you can pick one up for less than ยฃ8k. Thatโ€™s some serious depreciation.

Must say, aside from foreign shops I've never seen imported milk. Every supermarket brags about it being British milk. In Scotland they're even worse and go full Scottish only โ€“ at Mansfield, England
๐Ÿฅ› It's only 50p more โ€” but would you actually pay it if you knew the extra money was going to British dairy farmers? ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ„

You should be campaigning for a reduction in fuel duty. Or removing the tax on a tax (vat on fuel duty) as a bare minimum. 99% of your food comes on diesel powered lorries, and diesel powered fridge trailers.
Petrol & Diesel costs have rocketed. If you've questions on driving down motoring costs: fuel, car insurance, MOTs, breakdown cover, etc... @ItvMLshow is back TUESDAY 7:15pm for a new series & that's my first Big Briefing. Pls post questions by reply & the team'lll collate:-

So I'd save ยฃ1500/year. Or ~ยฃ135/month. But an electric car would cost me more than ยฃ135/month. So if your car is paid off, you're significantly better off with diesel. โ€“ at Jackton, Scotland
ยฃ2/Litre for diesel at 50mpg is 18p/mile ยฃ1.71 for petrol at 40mpg is 19p/ mile Home charging my EV is 1.8p/mile Drive 10k miles a year? Save ยฃ1500 a year Have a driveway? You need to go electric โšก

Franchising buses intentionally puts small operators out of businesses, destroying the livelihood of entire families. Happened in Manchester under Burnham, now in Yorkshire, & soon to happen in Glasgow. @NoConceptOfTime has made his feelings clear share.google/6lA4A3aBGR37gWYโ€ฆ โ€“ at Newcraighall, Scotland

First meal cooked from raw. Looks good, crisped up reasonably.. Took maybe 40-50% longer than packets said. But what do you expect for a 24v system โ€“ at Newcraighall, Scotland

How's your Monday going? Fridge unit wouldn't start, needed a new battery. And now I'm in a bus stop on the side of the A1 waiting for a new front near side tyre. โ€“ at Hebron, England

Just walked past a car dealer. 76 plates have just come out. Why do they have used 75 plates in stock? They're not preregistered because it is a different brand to the dealer. Do some people keep vehicles for less than a year? โ€“ at Coychurch, Wales

Great joke, her loss โ€“ at Jackton, Scotland
First date. Nervous. We walked into KFC who were doing "crispy naans" as a special. Trying to make her laugh I said "that reminds me, I was at my grandmas cremation last week". She burst into tears. She'd buried her gran the week before. No second date.

Just heard this noise, never heard it before, sounded like a scream at first so ran outside... Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this a fox's mating call? โ€“ at Thorntonhall, Scotland
