Posted on 17/01/2018 10:43 byThat's why I'm getting an electric car, cariadon, so that I won't be out of pocket once it is delivered. The problem of that is not the job, it's having the wrong car.

Malcolm. The actual cost of buying it over the four years as apposed to keeping your current model, almost certainly means you will be out of pocket.
However, even if the above statement is wrong, can you truely say you have researched EV's sufficiently, and the Smart in particular, to know it is the right car for the job.

Posted on 17/01/2018 02:38 byThe other thing, Kj, is that having a second car has proved useful for our own personal usage. The Shogun with the roof box doesn't fit under the height limit barriers of many car parks. So we now use the Smart car which is much more convenient for parking when shopping in town cantres and fitting into the multi storey car park when taking my wife to her dental appointments at Guys Hospital. So it's useful as a run around for those short urban trips, whilst the Shogun is necessary as a tow car. So two different cars to do two very different tasks.

A very expensive run around.
Anyway it is totally pointless giving Malcolm any advice as he never takes it. However it does appear he has finally realised that working for Dinner to go was ridiculous but I remember him vehemently defending them at the time.

Why do you feel the need to give advice, or why do you think he wants advice, can you not leave him to run his own life how he wants without people knowing what is best for him Are you all employed by Citizens Advice?
On the other hand, I think he may well be enjoying this load of rubbish as much as anyone.

Posted on 16/01/2018 14:14 by TammygirlSo why not do it now then
EDIT: What are you frightened of, leaving your wife at home for a few hours maybe
If you were to move to Tesco, you could work anywhere, so possibly a more affordable part of the country, also your wife could also get a job there. Win Win if you ask me, and don't forget the staff discount 10% I believe, more of those lovely Tesco points

" If you were to move to Tesco ,, ,, ,, ,, "
I thought for a moment you'd written TRESCO TammyG !! I was sitting here envisaging a delivery run in an Electric Speed Boat !!
But that would be really Pointless
Now I'll go & stand by my front window, ogling my nice MOT'ed, serviced , cleaned motor with a full set of new boots on -- and you wonder why I call it a "She"
