Ally-C 27 Feb 3:53pm, 27 Feb 2025 18,012 posts	Quote Pin Ally-C Getting a call from Sainsbury’s half an hour before yer shopping is due saying the van is stuck and won’t be coming. Wtf, does stuck even mean? Is there four feet of snow out there I haven’t noticed? Person leaving the message sounded about 12. That’s what happens when supermarkets gut their staff & there’s no adults in the building.

Jen HB 27 Feb 7:08pm, 27 Feb 2025 3,534 posts	Quote Pin Jen HB So there is a big push to net zero but both Gatwick and Heathrow want to build another runway, homes need to have heat pumps (but what's the betting that all these new homes won't), we need to go to electric cars but I don't feel the infrastructure is there yet (especially if we can't charge from home). Grrr.....
Ocelot Spleens 28 Feb 7:31pm, 28 Feb 2025 40,445 posts	Quote Pin Ocelot Spleens The trouble is people like flying away on holiday and pay lip service to the damage, like flying to visit here, we need them to turn up as we are as a country effectively broke and people are NOT buying electric cars and heat pumps are not suitable for many, many homes.
