Some say they’ll switch to an EV ‘when the charging is easy.’
Well, surprise—it already is.
80% of charging happens at home, and with Co Charger, you don’t even need your own charger.
No more excuses… just clean, quiet driving.

"... brimful of the shared delight in improvisation that Monk seems to trigger so reliably in suitably talented interpreters ... these versions stand with any others I’ve heard, including the ones left us by the composer."

Last gig of the year tomorrow with Andy Hague's Albert All-Stars Big Band at Bristol Beacon tickets at bristolbeacon.org/what.../al… or from the Box Office from 7pm. Doors at 7.15 for 8pm start, great sound of 16-piece band with top brass sections and Bristol's foremost rhythm section
Rarely post here now but just popping back to say, if you were waiting for BlueSky to get interesting, that’s really happened now. Move over and you’ll likely not miss new, enshittified twitter at all.

Nice new Korean pop-up with a new menu until Xmas at the Galli - good news for Gloucester Rd folks

I don't oppose all contracted out provision but these kind of services are definitely not suitable - the undercut just makes delivery far worse (as family experience of maternity care switch to this provider in another locality demonstrates)
Wow. A local NHS consortium bid for this contract - yet it’s just been awarded to @HCRGCareGroup, the private company that was once Virgin Care.
@HCRGCareGroup will now - for profit - provide community care across all of Bath, Swindon, NE Somerset & Wiltshire.
Heartbreaking 😔
