    Isaac Wilson's for sale £650k

    Not bad when you think some places will try and charge that for a 2 bed flat. Obviously you'd negotiate the price down and make sure all is good with the building. But surely it could be a good business with the right vision...

    Chocolate...Hot Chocolate

    Rest easy. Probably not that prominent on the weirdo scale on here - it's dominated by EV owners and Peloton riders.

    Chocolate...Hot Chocolate

    Just received a batch of Soma Old Dark Milk from my mate in Canada. Lovely chocolate. Anyway, won't go into too much detail, gents - but they are pretty prominent in the public eye. When buying this chocolate for expo, other keen eyed customers noticed and started buying it as well. To the point...

    Electric cars Depreciation

    Yes, of course - you know your own circumstances, but you've also got to accept that other people also know their own circumstances. They also have their own experiences. With regards to selling your Taycan privately - good luck with that. It will be interesting to see how you get on. But...

    Electric cars Depreciation

    With regards to Toyota, they've always made different types of vehicles for specific markets. You'd have to imagine it would be really easy for them to introduce various EV models. So they must have good reasons for not doing so. They've let the likes of General Motors and Hyundai play their...

    Electric cars Depreciation

    Of course, that rubbish company Toyota would never be able to go electric would they? 😆 It's a strategic choice by Toyota. They simply do not believe EVs will get the market share that is predicted. Considering their track record, they are most probably worth listening to.

    Electric cars Depreciation

    This is what I'm talking about, you're right and everyone else is wrong. With regards to your Taycan, if you wanted to move it on - what would you actually do? The goalposts have moved from a couple of years ago. The calculations you were making a couple of years ago proved not to be viable. Now...

    Electric cars Depreciation

    The big problem with the evangelists is that they don't accept that everyone has different circumstances. There's some very bad advice been given that could potentially cost someone a lot of money. A major example of this is the Andy poster who a couple of years ago was waxing lyrical about...

    Electric cars Depreciation

    With any of these EV threads, there always seem to be lots of if and buts. If you do this and do that and make sure you don't do this - you'll be alright 😆 The majority of people just want to get in their car and drive to where they want to go.

    Electric cars Depreciation

    How are you judging the depreciation of the Taycan? Going off trade in values and online car buying sites, the Taycan has dropped off a cliff. Indeed, some Porsche dealerships are not even accepting them.

    Electric cars Depreciation

    A few points here. Firstly, if you're talking about beating depreciation - don't buy a new car. Buy one a few years old. Secondly if the car retails for £78k and you can get one for £23k, it might worth setting up a dealership. With regards to the Focus, if it's running good and has been...

    Why are BiFold doors so naff?

    Popped in for last orders and was just thinking about it whilst enjoying my pint.

    The great air fryer con

    Just got in from the pub and a late game of snooker, gents. One of the regulars was telling me that their fancy air fryer that they'd paid a pretty penny for a couple of years ago has gone kaput. Anyway - they pulled out the old multicooker, bought back in the day which runs forever and guess...

    Aj v Ngannou

    Very easy night's work for Joshua. Obviously according to quite a few on here, he should have been retired. But those same people will probably now start saying he's unbeatable again 🤣 It's no surprise Eddie Hearn is talking rubbish once more. Joshua was beaten twice conclusively by Usyk, but...

    The Crown/ABC Cinema

    A food hall or something else with a bit of creativity should be easily achievable. If you've got them in Leeds you'd think they'd be okay in Middlesbrough. With regards to the Crown pub, still stand by it was a pretty busy place. You'd often get a lot of people in on a weekend and a weekday...

    The Crown/ABC Cinema

    Preston's former business partner was/is based in Hong Kong, so it's quite interesting that a Hong Kong company has been involved in The Crown deal as well. The failed office block with the proposed helipad also had links to east Asia. Not sure why the Crown actually closed. Back in the day it...

    London - Night Out Suggestions

    So, the consensus seems to be to go to the pub for a pint and you might be able to find a restaurant as well 🙂

    Second hand EVs

    Let's hope nobody took Andy's advice on how well EVs hold their value 🤣 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/01/18/used-electric-cars-lose-half-value-after-three-years/

    Be very, very careful what people tell you about Electric Vehicles.

    He's going back to diesel, which is going to save him money over an EV - but he's still going to be spending £40k and coming out with nothing. Obviously going for the EV option would be another bad decision on top of that, but if he's chucking 40ks away - why not 60k or 80k? 😆

    Be very, very careful what people tell you about Electric Vehicles.

    The article below is from back in June, but 29 out of 30 of the fastest depreciating were EVs. They lost on average 33.6% of their value over 6 months compared to 0.5% with petrol vehicles. The Porsche Taycan is listed as losing over £20k in 6 months...
