Do electric cars work for you in practice especially for longer journeys?

We are almost at the point of committing to buying an electric car and would love any feedback from anyone who has had one for a while and does both local and longer trips. Mostly looking for insight into if it actually works for you. I can’t have a charging point outside the house, so I guess I wil...

Re: Decking needs a power wash, help!

Thank you very much! Have never heard of it. Much better than having to store something I probably won't use very often.

Desparately need a bin shed!

So fed up of foxes and the mess that they make when they get into our bins. Does anyone have a bespoke bin shed and can recommend a company to build one or alternatively, a company to buy one from. Thanks so much.

Re: Decent dinner party wine?

Agree with Chorister The Wine Twit is great as is Philglass and Swiggot. But, if you cant get there, I usually offer Malbec for red and White Burgundy for white with Sauternes for pudding wine (if you are going that far!) these will be great with most things. Waitrose is also very good and has a gre...

People taking bike shed spaces who don't cycle just store.

Could anyone explain to me how allocation of a space in the cycle shed on the street works? I'm assuming that it is first come fist served but do people lose their spaces if they aren't actively using their bikes? And how are the bike sheds policed? For example there are bikes being stored (they are...

Re: Fox in through bedroom window last night

Has this been reported to the council? I am confused as to why they don't do anything about the fox infestation? Our household experience is limited to bin mess but this is another level and potentially very dangerous. Glad that everyone involved is OK.
