Get me out of here.....

 A week is a long time in politic's, and so the last month or two have flown by. I understand why Bonking Boris was forced to resign, but it ws a case of be careful what you wish for, as the elderly grey pound population from the home counties decided to choose his replacement.

Goodness me what must the new King have thought. A cross between Margaret Thatcher and Teresa May, takong hopefully the good bits from both. Sadly only the handbag reminded us of Maggie, and I struggle to remember any good bits Teresa May had.  So Liz Truss entered office, set a fe hares running and then decided she had bitten off rather more than she could chew. 

Trigger World mirth at the mess the UK was in. The poison dwarf AKA the gobbler, North of the border could not believe her luck and just as she was meant to stick the knife in, some transgender nonsense got in the way and she ended up fighting a battle she did not expect, right on her doorstep. One of her protagonists is well connected in the witchcraft community so it might not be a straight forward battle to win.

So what of Labour? Not since Tony Blair have they had a creditable leader to push home any advantage they have over the governing Conservative party., and so it proves again. I would have been inclined if I was Rushi Sumak to call a general election, pass the baton to Mr CPS and see how he and his brash Northern colleagues would do. He must so be relieved that did not happen.

Then, just as the Country needs a lift, Peter Kay announces he will be touring again, that al do, and that mad MP Matt Hancock decides to emigrate to Australis but gets the wrong connecting flight in Perth and ends up somewhere in the jungle with a Karma Chameleon, a dwarf throwing minor royal,(lucky Ellie Simmonds got turfed off Strictly) and a series of Z list celebrities  all ready to breath a sigh of relief as Matt looks forward to ten bush tucker trials on the bounce.

You couldn't make it up!!

ELO

 Just noted I used Electric Ladyland earier so new title added!!

To try to do our bit for global warming I have just purchased SWMBO an electric car. it is another Corsa which she was very hppy with after eventually being persuaded to have  new one. It matches her driving profile perfectly. She does mostly short journey's and with a range of about 200 miles, range fear is unlikely to be a problem. It has sat nav facilities and hands free options for the phone so that is all additional peace of mind.

We have installed a home charger so it is very cheap to run at the moment as we are fortunate still to have a fixed deal well into 2023. Tesco were running a free charging service up until 1st November but that is now a payment facility which is a pity as we were getting a free 35 miles every time we shopped. Wirral council have some lamp post facilities but none really fit our travel template.

On a recent trip down South we did a check of service station charging options in case we ever need to go far afield in it. The service stations really only have two or three charging points and people were telling us they waited up to 40 minutes for a spare bay. There is a twelve station power farm in Banbury so thatm would be one good option to bear in mind.

We had all six grand children in one place during half term so it was good to get the Swiss branch into London, and we did Hampton Court Palace and a few other things. It was almost three years since we were in Geneva the last time we saw them.

Traffic was heavy on the way home and my sat nav was not giving me traffic information. It turns out that as the car is now three years old, I need to pay an annual fee for such information. Hey ho, they do say BMW where even the steering wheel is extra!
