Last Notes

I’ve just been reminded that HBO Max used to be called HBO Now, and imagine the marketing for the UK launch?
“Get HBO Now & Now now, now only £5/month!”

“Imagine if they all used a Google smart speaker to stream the radio, as we do!”
That makes me wonder, do early morning streaming numbers get inflated, adding people who have the smart speakers playing but the household not awake enough to listen (or even not at home)
Compared to rajar where you fill in your book when you’re actually hearing it

That’s really useful advice for when I eventually get an EV, thank you! Cos I totally would’ve charged up to 100%!
(I live in Scotland, which isn’t a million miles away from England but it’s far enough to need to refuel before I return, and need to recharge an EV a couple of times)

Yeah, I guess the biggest problem is when I’m travelling to England where I’m having to plug in and wait an hour, therefore doubling my travel time

Thanks - didn’t realise what your hashtag meant at first, maybe that’s the big difference! I only really considered full electric
I have a relatively cheap place to charge nearby at a council car park, I was advised that after a while it would get annoying (especially if driving to England)
Thanks for sharing the stats!

I like those stats if true/typical! I looked into an EV but decided that for now, having no charging point at home would get annoying, as I would mean recharging every 100 or so miles taking almost an hour each time
Do you have a big car? I was only looking at small ones

Part of me wants to open a bank account with a sort code starting 00 to see what happens

I’m glad I read them, I was about to bring my pet elephant in there

UK politic nerds — I have a memory of watching a documentary where they showed an actual whip in the chief whips office. Is this a false memory, does anyone know if it’s true? I can’t find anything on google
