There's nothing at all unique about Germany. The Kia/Hyundai crossover and the newest version of the Renault Zoe are 250-300 mile cars that cost half as much as a Tesla, and if you're into buying a luxury car, the Jag and BM

Wilfully obtuse of the increasingly-shit BBC News to attribute this to CoViD and completely ignore the fact that a gigantic swathe of cigarette types were outright banned a month ago

In your wording "faring quite well" logically would involve between two and five decades of unending guerilla warfare. Doesn't sound like a great way to live if you're not a gun nut

Well yes, but we usually segment areas into their own circuits and in a well-built residence the laundry appliances get a fused circuit to themselves (or, at the very least, share one with the kitchen sockets). So your amperage/fuse-tr

The photos do appear to be mid-late 60s from the cars you can see. But I'll observe that the Uni of Manchester buildings photos could have been from 1987 or 1990 -- being when I saw them myself, still near-black on the Oxford Road si
