Nearest would be Bunree. Is that about 25 miles? 

29 miles by road.

Hmm, for us, Bunree would not qualify as a site for Oban!

Seems it is 13 miles north of Oban, further north than Ledaig but better than Bunree.

The so called positions of some of these sites is beginning to rival Ryanair and their airport names!

Top tip, Tesco Everyday value lemonade, put a bottle of that (17p) and a glass in the handbag and drink all night at a reduced price especially with a straw.🥤🥤🥤

I doubt if the pub would permit that. Many pubs don't like you to go in there to use their toilet unless you buy a drink.

We live in Lancing just round the corner from the Railway / Merry Monk macolm, we would not use this place and any cost let alone leave my wife alone in there.

Why, Mr. Route? My wife seems to enjoy it in there! It's warm, there's comfortable seating, toilets, entertainment and people to chat to. It's surely better than hanging around outside in the cold for five hours! Also, it's the closest pub to where I work so that she can get back to the car quickly when it's time to go home.

Yes because they offer that as part of the deal for buying an electric car! You forget that they're getting £21,500 from me as their customer for purchasing a brand new electric car from them in the first place. They're also looking for future business as they imagine that eventually I will want to change to a newer version and if I'm there, I can be persuaded!

Not quite £21,500 eh?

You keep reminding us that the government are paying £4,500 so your contribution is £17,000 or is this wrong? wink

It's that magic calculator of yours again Malc, needs new batteries!! wink

Whether it's the government or me or both that pay is irrelevant. It's my decision to buy that gets them the £21,500 money!

The savings of £2500 on fuel is offset by the capital repayments on the car as well, so the net gain of the EV is zero and also with a clapped out battery at the end of the repayment period, so the residual value of the vehicle is doubtful.
