Judging by this article, in a country with fairly standard vehicles the lead time is at least 6 months. The price is lower though, £350,000. I saw recent prices from £250-650k while searching, depending what was purchased. https:/&#x2

If you're claiming the UK uses 110V, then you must also include that it uses 415V. Both of these are only used outside domestic settings. (Until recently, 415V for a car charger is becoming more common)

Americans have to worry about chaining power strips, or overloading them with the Christmas lights. That's much less of a concern in 230V countries.

It can happen if a high power device is used continually. This is against the regulations, but sometimes people do things like connect a 3kW weather heater with a 13A plug, or connect several devices adding up to that power through a power

I've FDM printed models for friends, and the quality isn't there. It's not good enough to spend the time carefully painting it. It's fine as a token for the game, but people enjoy the painting etc too. A resin printer is

I bought a Warhammer set during Covid and was amazed at the detail, compared to the 1990s stuff I had as a kid. I can't say what's more difficult to manufacture - millions of identical bricks that snap together, or a huge range of

You are perhaps unaware that since last week, Britain has required EU citizens to go through an e-visa process. The offer from the EU for a youth exchange program was rejected by the UK. The fish thing looks like anti-EU nonsense. The anony

What did the UK ask of the EU before Brexit? All I remember was Cameron asking to expel jobless immigrants, which confused the EU as Britain was already allowed to do that.

Rowling made a lot of her money from books, which would mostly be printed by adults in the country they are published in. Also films, filmed in the UK. That's a long way from advertising unhealthy snacks. Lego isn't made in dubiou

Metro ticket machines in Beijing won't sell a ticket until you've scanned an identity card. Tourists must wait at the ticket window. Foreigners aren't usually asked to show the passport unless they look Chinese.

Trump is unpredictable. He made a new free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico in his previous term, but has put tariffs on some Canadian goods this time round. That isn't going to reassure investors. A FTA with the USA would come

Remember to carry your passport at all times, as you'll need it to buy a train ticket. Even a simple metro ticket. You can also smile at the CCTV cameras, which are in groups every 100m or so within cities.
