This morning I'll go to a market stall and buy some Seville oranges for marmalade, no packaging on the stall.

Especially when there website claims 57 mpg for the urban cycle in a petrol 4/2 and 54 mpg in a petrol 4/4. 

So if Malcolm's figures are accurate at 28 mpg he only gets about 50% of what they claim. Translate that to the EV and your range would be down to 50 miles. Even allowing for closer to 40 mpg for the petrol, would equate to a around a 30% overestimate. Translating to an EV range of 70 miles.

These manufactures figures are all done under laboratory conditions and have little relevance to the real world.

JayEss,  Nothing worthwhile is life is normally easy but he probably would have more success now than in 4 years time.

What has he got to lose from applying now for himself and his wife. It  always seems easier getting a job when you are already in employment

At least with Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys etc they are proper jobs with reasonable working conditions which pay above minimum wage. Aldi pay the highest wages of the supermarkets I believe. 

No sales targets, no expenses to find and claim back, decent breaks, paid time off. I could be tempted
