I put the car into 'Dynamic' mode at the weekend. And used it.

For such a little car, it's scarily fast 😳

I know it's a little locale-specific, but still there is a certain sneaky pleasure to be gleaned when some seemingly well-versed writer (incorrectly) describes something thus:
"...half-way up Caledonian Road..."

It's "*The* Caledonian Road" or if you're local - "The Callie"

If you know, you know.

Give me a shout if that does not make sense!

I love this "Small Business Owner" on #LBC absolutely tying herself in knots, desperately trying not to mention Immigration.

Obviously, the more fundamental question is:

"Why would you want to go to Portsmouth in the first place?"

Also for shame.
€88.80 to be precise, at that link. About £77.

For which you get a full month's unlimited travel within an area the equivalent of roughly Reading to Canterbury to Colchester.

Less than the cost of one anytime return to London from Portsmouth.

For shame.
In Paris, you can get a monthly public transport pass for the city and its surroundings (Île-de-France) for less than 100€/month, and your employer has to reimburse at least half of it.

They should have called it 'Reggie' or 'Albert'
Reggie or Albert are far better names.

And think of the news coverage: "Reggie/Albert has left orbit and is engaging it's boosters on it's way to Mars..."

*That's* the kind of future I was looking forward to.
