Good idea on the surface jaypo. Again there are likely to be queues.  Some parts of the batteries may be recyclable .........

As an aside: we are being bullied into going green, however: last night we were 40 mins longer getting home because the A43 is closed from J15A - but no diversion signs  - we took a diversion across country again, no diversion signs so we ended up going round in circles!  Now forgive me for being picky but .........

That's where Google maps is invaluable to me

I'm not even sure how I managed before,without sat nav 

[Songbird]

I'm with you, Jaypo. Sat nav has got me out of some sticky situations in the past

Ours had us going round in circles on Thursday, telling us that the roundabout was closed, then diverting us back to it 

[jaypo]

Have you had it updated clkd? On new roads,my sat nav has me floating in the sky 
Oh songbird,me too,how I managed with a map I'll never know 

[CLKD]

It obviously didn't have the Diversions keyed in  .  Others have complained this morning ........ it is up to Highways to make sure that diversions are correctly in place.

The other day 'Sandra' - the SatNav - gave 3 big gulps as she tried to tell us which way to go

My lovely 82 year old mum came out with a cracker when we were travelling to Blackpool and the sat nav was in full use.  Mum said…..
“Songbird (because that’s my real name  )……when does that lady take a break??”
Bless her, she thought it was some unfortunate soul sitting in a call centre, guiding us to our caravan in Blackpool  - honestly, I thought I was going to have a toilet’ing incident 

[jaypo]

  Omg songbird (beautiful name btw  ) that had me in stitches

[Songbird]

I swear it's true Jaypo  .. She should be on the stage .....
Thanks re my name - I used to sing in a band you see     - first up at karaoke on cruises nowadays 

[jaypo]

The Eva Cassidy song is lovely, Jill- written by Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie - beautiful 😍

If you want to come to my village to visit me on the one and only bus, you get 20 minutes before returning to the local town which you probably didn’t want to go to anyway. As to the initiatives for children walking to school……this involves walking along narrow winding roads, with no pavements and encountering drivers who think they can see round blind bends! There used to be a railway, which would have given numerous options of where to go. Of course, it was closed. I had no option, but to learn to drive. I love living here, but a car is essential.

My son has inherited a Tesla. Loves it. However, he lives in the USA. It seems they are better set up for charging places where he is. I was reading that here at the moment 1 in 10 charging points are out of action.
