Showering just got an upgrade! ✨ My Mira Platinum with both the Rainshower and spray heads is pure luxury. From Smart Control with my Echo to personalised presets, it's amazing! Plus, I'm saving water AND money - down to just 10 liters per shower! Anyone else have one?

Whenever a vehicle fire makes the news, it seems like social media explodes with comments like 'It's an EV!' or 'Bet it's an EV!' But the reality is, electric vehicles are far less likely to catch fire than traditional ICE vehicles. Here are the stats to prove it.

On a recent trip up along the A303, I was delighted to find 2 new EV chargers at Cartgate Picnic Area! They're only 50kW, but it's a fantastic start for this busy route.

Very interesting and something to share with those say EV batteries cannot be recycled.

This is brilliant and so true.

Cute concept to help prevent littering! 🌊

Sorry for the lack of content over the last year. At the Stop Burning Stuff Show we have had to go on hold due to unforeseen circumstances. Our new series, that will be better than ever, will hopefully be on to be made and released soon. Happy New Year everyone.

A study has found Hybrid, ICE cars are far more likely to catch fire than EVs.

The data says hybrids are the most prone to catching fire, while EVs are the least prone, although when they do catch fire, they are harder to put out.

Did you know you’re banned from washing your car at home in Germany?

Washing your car at home is not explicitly banned in Germany, but it is discouraged and subject to regulations in many areas. The reason for this is primarily related to environmental concerns. When you wash your car at home, the soapy water, dirt, and contaminants from your car can flow into storm drains and eventually into rivers and streams, leading to water pollution. In Germany, as in many other European countries, there are strict regulations regarding the use of detergents and the disposal of wastewater, and washing a car at home can often lead to violations of these regulations.

To address these environmental concerns, it is encouraged to use professional car wash facilities in Germany. These facilities are equipped to treat and recycle wastewater, ensuring that pollutants are removed or properly managed. Additionally, they often use environmentally friendly cleaning products. While it's not a complete ban, the preference for using car wash facilities is driven by a desire to protect the environment and water quality.

I really hate seeing this kind of thing. Now I don’t know the context of it but the fact that it’s in a place where there are pigeons and gulls is only going to aggravate the problem.

So right. Councils are all to bent on mowing grass on roadsides these days. Meadows can look great and provide invaluable habitats for insects and bees 🐝.
