What make of battery Colin?

Not entirely sure of your comment EVA? Are you intimating standards are not what they were? My experience albeit over one year is one of high praise so it would be interesting to know how yours differs?

Not quite sure of your position here Steve? If you choose to no longer deal with any firm for any reason then by default you are no longer perceived to be a "live" customer, that sounds reasonable to me? If it were your firm how much marketing resource would you devote to a non-customer, answers on a postcard please ? Now, being an advocate of the brand /outlet well that's a different kettle of fish. Maybe a regular reminder to the sales /marketing department may further your cause 🤔

😅😅😅, well I'm about 5 miles away geographically and about 20 years neurologically speaking. And who said anything about waving? I then realised being Jubilee weekend you must be practicing to be in the Royal coach later on, well done you 🥳

Actually John it is Greek in origin 😅, derived from Greek mythology, where the blind giant Orion carried his servant Cedalion on his shoulders. It is a western meta- phor first used in the 12 th century by Bernard of Chartres and later used by Issac Newton and then on our £2 pound coin.

Fraid not Renato, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants 😎

Apologies Martin, I don't do Refs only umpires 😎

You raise such an interesting point John let me quote from an established academic " Greek mythology begins and ends with tales of patricide, symbolising perhaps, the cycle of father-to-son power hierarchies and the ultimate futility of these struggles against the pre-woven patterns of fate. The son-kills-father template is laid out in Greek myth in one of its earliest origin stories, where the titan Kronos is warned by mother Earth (Gaia) that one of his sons is fated to usurp him. Hasty to sidestep the path of destiny, Kronos devours all twelve of his children as they are born- except of course for the youngest- Zeus, who is saved by his mother and eventually returns to indeed supplant his Dad. Perhaps Kronos deserved it- he after all, committed the same crime against his own father Ouranos, but with the added insult of castration. The parallels between this myth and the characters Macbeth and Duncan are clear, with the exception that it is the son-figure, not the father-figure, who receives the Delphic promise to ‘be king hereafter!’ (I.III) The relationship between Macbeth and Duncan is established at the beginning of the play as a familial one. In the first act, Duncan greets Macbeth as ‘valiant cousin!’ and his praise for Macbeth’s battle prowess rings with hyperbolic, fatherly pride, rather than kingly entitlement"

In defence Len and old beans may I proffer this comment - It comes from the modern Greek word for "to button," κουμπούνω, (koumpouno) which comes from the ancient Greek word for "bean" (κύαμος, kuamos), which makes sense, because the ancients didn't have buttons, but some buttons resemble beans, + πονέω (poneo), "to work hard." So you can see where the modern Greek word comes from. Check any modern Greek dictionary, attach "-phobia" to the noun form, and you've got yourself, well, a legitimately rooted word.

So far I have found lexus Derby to be absolutely excellent, try speaking with Chloe Hall. 👍

Well if you were unable to control your emotions to such an extent I can see why you would favour a big TV screen. Presumably it reminds you of your care home? 🤠

🤯🤯

Less distracting? 🤔, from the Lexus newsroom; " An available 14-inch smartphone-like touchscreen allows for intuitive and simple interaction with the new system. The high-definition screen (without glare!) allows for easy-to-touch functionality, smart controls, and simple functionality. The system’s main menu is now on the left side and makes it all extremely easy to use. The system’s intuitive design approach makes storing favorite music stations a breeze. Just press the heart button and it’ll be added to your favorites list. Searching for a specific music genre? The menu will show drivers what stations play their favorites. With Connected Services activated and the available Drive Connect Cloud Navigation, the crisp and clear map screen can be explored with zoom, pan and tilt functionality with intuitive touch control. The cloud navigation includes Google Point-Of-Interest search capability, so navigating to a favorite destination has never been easier and you can also share your ETA with contacts in your phone book. Being Wi-Fi capable allows for system and navigation updates to be installed “over-the-air” so the vehicle will always be up to date. New roads constructed? OTA updates will allow the map to include those too. " Really?

I agree with you Paul. And I am still mystified by the law which now says £1000 fine for touching my phone but not for these mega screens 🤔

That's because they employed Penelope Keith to do the VT voice over 😅

I am currently in Sorrento Italy enjoying 26,thats degrees not pints 😎

That's extraordinary Dan 🤔, I'm with tesco Bank this year, £230 FC and a £20 Lidl voucher via compare the market 👍

😁, not at all but you can convene on a car park to talk cars, wives /gf's wander round the show, tell lexus GB of your plan and maybe get free tickets or maybe free giveaways on the Lexus stand?

Lexus are the main sponsors of Gardeners World next month at the NEC?

More likely women were seen with Sobranie Cocktails, absolute works of art 🍻

Outrageous Renato 🤠, Passing Clouds were fantastic fags! Top quality Virginia tobacco and the oval shape made it less likely you duck-ars**d the end 😎

Twenty years ago we were pioneering the concept of LIW's, Location Independent Workers because advances in comms technology made it possible. Biggest employer doubt at the time was "can I trust my employee"? Twenty years on and the rapid advances in software now means employers can track and measure all of your inputs so that becomes irrelevant 😱. The biggest danger today for an employee wfh is recession. Depending on severity cutting staff will be the norm and /or outsourcing to cheaper labour rates. As you say Ed, wfh means to all extent you are functioning as a contractor with no demonstrable allegiance to your employer that forms in the usual face to face environment

Ah! The J&J maths at work again 😅. As an EV costs significantly more than a similar ICE let's say £10k. As a 40% + NI taxpayer that equates to 20k of earnings before tax. Assuming that you keep the car for 5 years that's 2k a year in tax or not far off a Bentley 🤯

When I wrote "my" it did not mean me personally, perhaps I should have written "ones" 😎

Perhaps Howard, had your question been posited in a different way it may have elicited a different response. For example, " I have recently entered into a Lexus PCP arrangement which has a £2k incentive attached. I am in the fortunate position of being able to afford a contract settlement early. Has anyone on here recent experience of doing this and what would you say are the pros and cons? Many thanks "
