It's relevant to me, brue. Nothing frustrates me more than tin openers that don't work. OK, you may say that if it doesn't work take it back to the shop where you bought it but what use is that? They'll either offer to exchange it for another one that also doesn't work or offer you your money back. Either way, you'll end up not being able to open your tin of mushy peas!

Buy the good old fashioned metal ones that you can get at hardware shops instead of high street stores. Too many people think that modern gadgets and gizmos are better, but I have had my metal can opener for over 30 years. A lot of cans now have the pull thing, no opener required.

The smart EV are advertised or recommended for now as a city / urban car so until it can cope with rural driving, hills and mountains, enough battery power to cope with lights, wipers and heating at the same time then it's pointless buying one, and my Tesco Credit card will remain in my purse.

Yes and I'll be using it mainly as an urban car because it will be my business vehicle for delivering pizzas in urban areas i.e Lancing, Shoreham and Worthing. I have the Mitsubishi Shogun for long distance rural use that works on diesel!

Incidentally, the Smart car can also be used for shopping and visiting the town centre, as that is also city use and short distance!

Renault are supposed to bring a new Zoe out later this year with a more reasonable range. I think that they were talking from 120 to 180 miles. A more usable range for a days usage.

As long as it can cope with the hills and mountains, and continuous use of wipers in Wales.

Don't you mean work vehicle, or is delivering Pizza is your business.

I have to use my own vehicle to deliver Pizza Hut pizzas to their customers, Pizza Hut do not provide a vehicle for me so that is business use of my own car.
