Of course PEA gave me a bill, just like all the bills for the last 6 plus years. Electric bills go up a lot, and many people wonder why. You actually trust an electric company to be totally honest? Bills for electricity are based in Texas as they are here. Mine and a few others in my neighborhood's bill rose a few times when the usage was the same as the months before. Their explanation was they had to pay more from where they got their electricity. This does not explain why just a few people I talked to had bills that were higher with the same usage and others did not rise.

 

Like I said. I did not water my grass but two times last month. I usually water it every other day, using my pump. I did not have to refill my water tank as much also, using less electricity. My lawn is very large and includes trees. The heat was higher last month than usual, so I did use more AC, but with less pump usage and the fact I wasn't home for 9 days, the bill should have been much the same as the month before, or even less. Not 500 baht more.

 

Like I also said, I will go to PEA and compare the last few months bills for usage and see what they say, but again, I don't think I'll get the answer I expect. Electric companies are a business, and as many businesses worldwide, they are out to make money, and some aren't honest when they do business, especially when it involves thousands of people.

 

Texas didn't have a legitimate explanation to answer why our bills went up when they should have matched others in our area, especially when ours and their usage was about the same. There was two I remember who's bills went up over a hundred dollars, and one wasn't home that month. The other said his usage was much the same as before. The one who wasn't home had his bill lowered, and they didn't explain what happened. The other's bill wasn't changed, which also shows things aren't just rotten in Denmark.

Surely your meter isn't being controlled by a guy in a PEA office somewhere....

Where I live, ALL my friends are paying near double during this incredibly hot year, including me...

But checking the previous bills with meter readings shows fridge/freezer, A/C, fans etc have been working overtime.

Though I do look forward to you coming up with evidence that PEA has stitched you and your chums up...😋

From my perspective the UK is pushing escalation of a European war, and has posed relentlessly for it. If I had a child of military age I'd send him to the US or Canada for his tertiary education and early work experience. Having said that there don't seem to be many prospects for kids in the UK, maybe I'd send the kids anyway. 

Good idea, you could join them.........

But of course you have conveniently forgot to peace time during 1918 and 1939, when the alias took their eyes off the ball to let Germany build a massive army to start another war.

This time around, the UK and the EU haven't, as we're now dealing with a Hitler Mk.II.

Though I think you will be OK in Canada......

The Producer probably knows nothing about firearms either, that's why they pay an expert.

There should never have been any live ammo anywhere near these highly paid actors.😬

We don't even know if any actor was going to fire live ammo, perhaps the gun experts/stand ins were going to do that..🤗

 

I must add, I trained in the UK, PP1 (Police Pistol 1), you learn the correct procedures and handling of a weapon, even removing a gun from its case has a procedure.

When I watch YouTube vids on guns, USA, I can't believe what they do with them when loaded..................😱........ Completely gives the wrong message to a beginner........😬

Why not wait for the trial to see what the evidence is and what the prosecution's  grounds for believing the producer liable are?

OK, it's just electrics/connections do not like the humidity a closed cab A/C system may collect...🤗

This may sound a daft question, but do you leave the A/C on recirculating all/most the time..?  😋

One would expect heavier, better performance vehicles to go through tires a bit faster.  A bit of common sense.   But for a tire to need replacement at 10k kms.   Not buying it ... or certainly wouldn't.   If true, not surprised it's on a VW, as one of the least trustworthy manufactures out there.

What a stupid comment, VW is up there in the brand charts, just shows your ignorance in motoring subjects..................😂

Where is your MG in the brand and reliability charts........?...........🤭

Anyway thanks for sharing something informative. Wondering though why they say CVTs can be found in SUVs and show a picture of an EX30 which obviously doesn't have one. And then they say they are found in Subaru WRX's. Anyone who buys a WRX and specs a CVT deserves to be shot.  As a previous WRX owner that thought is horrifying. Manual or nothing.

I have a Honda HR-V with a CVT and I hate it. The technology is good, but the experience is awful.  Soulless. Droning. Boring.

Yeh, but, you are old school and need a stick and a clutch pedal to keep you entertained.......................🤭

Nope, I'll say use CGI for shooting scenes. 

And you will say, but, but, but that's not realistic... 

To which I will say, guess what it's a movie, they are not realistic by definition. 

You just want to bury the actor over an expert's mistake.............

Peeked at the link, and hard to believe at all.  So at 10k kms mark, check up?  and told to replace tires.  

 

His new car a 80 yrs old, and will now think hard before buying another EV in the future.

 

Too funny and people believe this crap. 

 

Mine have 27k kms on them, rotated twice already, I think, or at least once, and don't expected to change for quite some time.   No sooner than 50k kms, that's for sure.

 

If he stays posting his crap on ICE vs EV thread, I might give him another reprieve from ignore list.

Did you read the SAME chap saying he usually gets , was it, 35,000 miles out of a set of tyres.

Obviously not, you concentrate on his age.......But expected...🤔

Read this article today about an EV owner not being a happy bunny because his tyres wore out in just 7,500 miles on his brand new 35,000 quid hot-hatch VW.......😱

I would probably be p_ssed off too, but should he complain when he is saving so much on fuel....?

Has any EV owner here suffered the same short life tyres.....?  🤔

correct. however you insinuated that there was an accurate road side test. the roadside breath test can only indicate it is in the system.

 

so my same scenario applies. if i tested positive at a roadside test then went to the police station i would test negative. 

 

 

No, I never said anything of the sort..........😷
