When I worked as a postie in Oxford, I used to drive the forerunner of these. They were converted golf buggies and were absolutely superb. Allowed me to leave the office with all my bags and all the parcels for my route, and just get on with the day. Loved it.
⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.
Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

This whole faff trying to get HMRC to give me a license to brew out of my garage is getting to the point where I'm about ready to abandon it, sell off the vast majority of my kit and scale right down to a new 30l system to just do the occassional homebrew for myself.

Great, HMRC still can't find in their records that I've paid all the Duty I owed them from the previous brewery, so until I get bank records from over 6 years ago, they won't progress my brewing license application.
I applied in March ffs.

Back home, washing in the machine, and first order of the day is to go to the shops to get in some milk for tea. As well as some food, should probably remember I need to eat and not just drink tea 🤣
