If you’re coming to the flight refuelling rally today please come and say hello at our stand in the club house. We’ll have a demo of all things ATV and of course the club shop with rally prices.
Does anyone know a RAL Colour code for this decorative bumper strip on a BMW 128i Sport? BMW list it as black but it’s a sort of dark lavender colour…
I’ve just been informed by Eon that they will update the Wallbox software to check whether my charger is affected by a fault. But it’s turned off at the breaker as they instructed everyone to do because of a safety issue! Should I turn it on or not? Please retweet.

Noone in the Labour cabinet is intelligent enough to understand the importance of this
Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

Jodrell Bank is a scientific powerhouse and a strategic defence asset.
As Mayor, I’ll back it and help secure the long term funding needed. It matters for Cheshire, and the UK
