    We have relatives who brought their polestar thing up from Kent last year, they said never again as anything north of the Manchester area they were starting to struggle with it as charging areas for it were getting less being more restricted to service stations. And then in West cumbria virtually none at the time. 
    For a car that has about 250 miles on a full charge where they live in Kent its ideal.

    Anyway back to topic WBAC do charge an admin fee and do an inspection so any issues that they see will knock the price down. They are owned by British Car Auctions so like any business they try to turn a profit on what they buy.
    However when it comes to cars we need the larger car with 7/8 seats, automatic so Mrs CS can drive it too(loose term) and preferably with a chain driven engine and not timing belt job.
     
    Kind of narrows it down a bit and saves a lot of messing about with car salespeople.

    What are people views/experiences of all electric vehicles?
    My wife is really keen on them but I’m not as 
    - I have real concerns about travelling any distance without constantly watching the range. 
    - having to find a charger to recharge ideally fast and get back on road. I’ve read so many horror stories about finding chargers in use with queues or not even working
    - issues with the so called green credentials of EV in terms of battery production
    - having to deal with the cost of replacing batteries.
    - potentially manufacturers downloading software to degrade the battery life as we have seen with phones and tablets
    A mate of mine had a hybrid Honda civic. It was insane to drive and very economical in fuel despite him driving it like he stole it all the time.

    My mate's at the match, was complaining how cold it was beforehand, don't think he'll be any warmer now. Mackems coming back into it a bit but Fulham clearly better side.

    What a good honest post match interview by Billy Sharp. Got to say that is proper old school. Doesn't happen too much these days

    Absolutely but they have started about Wrexham being national league. Whilst they have big owners they actually don't bank roll the club personally, the sponsorship they attract and let's not forget the average 9k home gate means they can attract players that could play at a higher level or league status makes this game a more level playing field than in the past.

    Thing is he is fit now and not carrying an injury. Along with that he seems to have clicked with stain as to where he wants ball into. Also he doesn't half get fired up.

    Or on a Friday afternoon after work with the loons i worked with at Naismiths at start of apprenticeship much to my dad's horror who worked there too. Bit of an eye opener working in same place as him, never lost temper etc at home, however couldn't have met a more bad tempered shite at work.

    The Club Bar, mainly frequented it on my way to or from somewhere, not my scene to spend a night there.

    Yeah I'm one really couldn't see how Robinson was going to survive the 2 wins in around 20 games from Feb to finish of league cup group stage.

    Some of the individual and collective performance's on that run were horrendous but my oh my how he has turned it around I might even have slated him after losing first 2 games and we were bottom of the league.

    Highest position in league at this time I think in my 37 years supporting Saints and surely our first ever top 6 finish will follow.

    Well played Robbo and the team spirit he has built looks fuc***g brilliant to be part of.
