Yeah, definitely. I'm glad they're doing their job.

I must have been a red flag as I'd driven out with three people and came back just me. (Wife and daughter flew home!)

They were pretty friendly really, unlike border controls in the US which is terrifying in my experience!

I sounded dodgy too!

“How long have you been in Europe?”

I couldn’t remember. “Hmm. Err. Three weeks?! Maybe.”

Absolute madness. Also just in terms of the waste of carbon shipping stuff around the world that can be bought on our doorstep.

Bought camera case on Amazon. Made in Italy — nice to support European companies, I thought.

1 month later, no delivery. I called them. Seems I'll never get it because "shipments from Europe are a nightmare after Brexit".

Chinese stuff, no prob. European? Nope.

There's something not right there.

I'm looking forward to watching this. I got a lot of hassle at the tunnel passport control this year.

"Is this your car?"

"No, actually..." (the guy looked like he was going to arrest me at that point)

Not least my wrinkles and grey hair.

Thanks so much! Yes, really so easy these days. It’s all a bit boring now! 😀

Andrew Till • Mr EV @tillathenun.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, I did do that in good time. That reminds me: I need to change it back!

5 years ago today! My big Land's End to John O'Groats trip for charity in the Kia e-Niro with my sister-in-law, Ceci. We had massive support from the EV community and raised £3,300 for charity.

Back then a trip like that seemed quite a big deal. These days? So easy! ⚡️

I'm mainly on Instagram because it's good for sharing photos and tagging family. It also seems to be where the big brands contact me so as a business decision it makes sense to be on there as well.

But it's certainly not going to be my only social media hideout. I don't like it enough!

Andrew Till • Mr EV @tillathenun.bsky.social · Sep 4

I'm not going anywhere!

Definitely, although there'd be a massive outcry if the government ploughed money into a pro-EV ad campaign.

Andrew Till • Mr EV @tillathenun.bsky.social · Sep 4

Fair enough. I avoid Facebook like the plague these days. I'm finding Instagram is where the big brands hang out though, so it's more of a business decision to be on there.

"You should use Instagram more", says my wife. "Tell everyone to follow you on there".

So here I am to say "follow me on Instagram". If you want. No pressure. Although you'll make my wife happy, which is surely a good thing.

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this! I unleash my wife on the Skoda Elroq. Things get a bit sweary, sorry.

Stuck between Elroq and a hard place: my wife reviews the Škoda Elroq Edition 85.
