@sscmark Hey Mark, if you're on variable IOGO just now, you can switch to ‘fixed’ anytime from here (octopus.energy/smart/intellig…) but it will switch you over within 24 hours of pressing the button. You won't have to connect your car again. 🐙

@OctopusEnergy I've just spoken to a jolly helpful chap at Octopus who says yes we can, and many customers already do! Time for a spreadsheet.

I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility. We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people – because there is no question that ending the war is the quickest way to reduce the cost of living.

I won two trips up Prescot Hillclimb course at a Bugatti Owners Club Event. The guy driving (the owners son) treated the throttle as an on-off switch, rather than an analogue device, relying soley on the cars driver aid to keep everything pointing in the right diredtion. When I commented "you can really feel it fighting for grip through the seat" he replied "no, not really". At that point my suspicions were confirmed, he was a millionare, rather than a Mansell. Run two he said "I'll switch the TC off". "Here we go, accident incoming" I thought to myself. Sure enough, exiting the Semi Circle, throttle hard to the floor, massive oversteer, up onto the grass on the inside of the corner in a massive tank slapper, over corrects, then back across the track into the Armco. It was'nt driving very straight as he drove it back the the paddock.

If you can tell what vehicle this is, I'll be pretty impressed. I will say that it seems pretty on brand for this manufacturer to replace a rev counter with a clock, though!

@LeedsPlusSocial Brilliant. Stop polluting, "Get out of your cars, use your bikes instead". Followed by "Ban the bikes"

Plans to ban bikes from Leeds shopping streets have taken a step forward 🚲 The ‘Briggate Action Plan’ aims to improve safety on the city centre’s busiest streets and could require cyclists to walk their bicycles and e-bikes instead of ride them (1/2)

Just paid £415 for a service for my car and they said ‘we will give the car a complimentary wash’ I should think so after paying four hundred great British pounds for a service

I've broken one of the most important rules of buying cars and bought one unseen from an auction I've never dealt with. Can you guess what it is?
