Hes neighbours are supporting him, i love what hes doing - showing rural life and how hard a local economy needs incomes from diversity sat under paperwork from councils.
Very interesting visit amongst some beautiful countryside. Just imagine 30 million EVs and the size of motorway services to charge them! They'd resemble Heathrow Airport etc in size! Mind boggling.
We've got a diesel which I bought and an electric on a lease. Both have their uses and their charms. And their downsides! It's swings and roundabouts. The electric was amazing while it cost less than a quarter of the price per mile. Now the billionaires want more of our money (blaming staged wars like we are stupid) it's about half the price of diesel per mile. Which is still not bad. But not like the early days. I wouldn't buy an electric car. Lease them. It works out about the same anyway as buying a new one and selling it 3y later!
12 pound for honey is a good price, for those that say its expensive go and be a beekeeper. @ 12 pound your beekeeper is working for 3pound an hour if that. 1.50 for the jar .80 for the label+ delivering the honey to the shop, We have to pay for honey testing and beekeepers are meant to do at least 6 inspections a year to maintain a healthy hive with each inspection taking from 20minutes to 1 hour each, then they have to extract the honey, maintain the hive equipment, protective equipment and maintain extracting equipment and have insurance. if you want cheap honey the taste shows, you may as well buy sugar syrup because that is likely what you are getting. Support your local beekeeper and help put their child through dance class or scouts, if you buy the cheap shit your just buying another beach house for a coperate cheapskate. Love the video and that burger looked tastey. keep up your great vids. On another note stop supporting electric cars, they are worse for the environment than a truck. Stop falling for the lies in mainstream, carbon emmisions just to make the battery is the same as building a 4x4. educate yourself and stop falling for the electric scam.
In my diesel, also with a glassroof, I have a nice, functioning aircondition, and a range of up to 1300 km/800 miles, and after 10 minutes "charging", I'm on the road again!
Battery powered electric cars are one of the biggest polluters in the world currently. The manufacturing process and the mining of materials to produce them is causing untold environmental damage.
@@Vmurmur It is rated on combustability in the air of which gasoline is 1.4% and hydrogen is 4%, so nit 10 times atall. Hydrogen is incredibly easy to produce being the most abundant element in the universe, it is just quite time consuming and more expensive than refining oil but it is 4 times more efficient in its combustion so negates the expensive production cost somewhat. The only point you are correct on and the difficultly with hydrogen is the storage and transport of it safely, but we do have the technology and know how to do it.
@@Mr.K01 wow you found numbers? Respect. I thought hydrogen was actually a terrible idea. What a genius. Look- let's tell everyone!!!! Let's change the world you and me together!!!! We will become leaders of the world because you understand hydrogen fuel cells is actually a great thing!!! It's amazing!!! It's the future but not the present because nobody knows!! You are amazing. Imma buy one right now.
I was so worried for you,imagine being stranded in the wilderness of the Cotswolds with only a mobile phone to call porsche services to come and hold your hand. I am so glad you survived the ordeal,you should go to hospital for a comfy liedown.
That Honey wasn't cheap at £12.00 bloody hell lol. £10.00 for a Burger okay it was Jeremy Clarkson but even so. It should of come from some Chips or Fries at least.
Jeremy clarkson has done more for British farming than country file ever has! Totally he’s an arrogant twat, but he’s very good at what he does, hence why your burger was excellent 👌 Can’t knock him, he’s busy and making more money than us 😂
The land of Cow juice and bee juice (milk and honey to non watchers of Clarkson) looking forward to Diddly Squat Farm! .. did you see any candles Lee? 🤣
Perfect timing Lee as we are off to Cotswolds next month. As you say, beautiful part of the world. My wife wants to go to Diddly Squat farm so also enjoyed Vlog very much.
If you're worried about narrow roads around Chippie then try driving a bus around Cornwall. I do it every day and see very few new cars (electric or otherwise) due to the narrowness of the roads.
Hahaha, love these vids where the Mac doesn’t use the key maps for finding chargers and drives til he has nothing left …. This is to make us all watch him explode with frustration. Love it. All I know is I drove 10,000 miles this year, never had a problem and it cost £214! Elec cars already work! Wish I had the porche though. Mac, you're the best.
Over 10 pounds to get to 33% even though you were not on zero! Shocking cost. Cheaper than running a petrol on that journey but not when you factor in the huge price of an electric vehicle purchase new or used. EV will become throwaway cars as who will be able to afford the new battery when they are 10 years old or less?
I have range anxiety on my phone. I managed to get the manufacturer's diagnostic app for mine, my battery status is now 72%. That means when it claims 100%, it's really only 72% compared to a new battery. Until car manufacturers are honest about these things, it's a big nope from me.
Hi Lee. Thanks for another brill review. It looked like you were eating your burger in the arizona desert, everything looked that scorched with the sun. Burger looked nice too. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Scotland.
Lucky you lot in Scotland haven’t had a hospice ban yet. Plenty of rain Scotland. Love Scotland though I go up every year too Glencoe in the highlands where the in laws live. If you get the weather it’s absolutely stunning. Plus can’t get Lorne sausage or Stornaway black pudding down here in England.
Great ad for reasons not to convert. Hubby watching this whilst I'm driving in our 10 year old zafira diesel without an absolute care in the world. Radio on. A/c on. Nice and relaxed whilst you sounded totally stressed out. Yes your car is valued a lot higher but how's your stress levels and heart rate etc. Can't put a price on them things. Happy motoring. Burger looked fab tho.
I travelled from Liverpool to Cognac in SW France in our VW Touran diesel without a stop for fuel. Only mad people would buy an electric car at this stage. Nothing would convince me to have one, even if they came free.
I'd have continuous anxiety attacks owning a lekki car - I cannot take it --- constantly looking at the battery level... I'd be in hospital constantly on ECG being told to breath deep to calm down.
I’m still confused by these videos, I drive a diesel (soon to move to an EV) for work and if I have a journey of 200 miles I make sure I’ve filled the car up or have more than I need before I head off, why wouldn’t you charge the car before you head off? Or charge before you go into a rural area, or open the sun roof and windows if it’s warm? So many questions.
Nice review/vlog, will definitely go for some food if we pop by the resto on a European road-trip. In our Tesla MYLR. With no range anxiety at all, because of the charging network. Hopefully they'll open up for all EVs in your neck of the woods as well, so the range anxiety evaporates. Here in Norway there are plenty of charging stations, and more are planned. Going on a road-trip to Italy this summer and I have no worries regarding charging 😁
Lee. Your vehicle will run on petrol, and here's how. Await a frosty morning, open the sunroof, poor in half a gallon of unleaded followed by a fully ignited Swan Vesta, stand slightly back and toast yer toes.
Hey Lee! For the love of me! Please swap to a hybrid vehicle if you must stay with electric In some way! That stress of having a few miles left in yours. At least with hybrid you have a backup just in case you get stuck. Jeremy, James and Hammond are the ultimate car show hosts. Their chemistry together on Top Gear was top notch. Not as much feeling with Paddy, Freddie and Chris. What a quaint place. It’s looking amazing what Jeramy has turned that into now. Take care 😘👍🏻
Much preferred the original Top Gear from the 70's and 80's when they actually reviewed new cars coming on the market. It just became a vehicle for Clarkson to indulge in his fantasies while being paid ridiculous amounts for doing so.
Kevin that's why Clackson was so good for top gear, he was a car fanatic, he knew the models and alot history back hand. Top gear hasnt been the same since he left.
would never buy or drive an electric car for all the tea in China, i get 600 miles from a full tank of diesel in my car, takes about 6 minutes to fill up, not hours, no waiting around wasting my life, the only stop i might have to make is for a bathroom break, electric cars are not the future, and only £20 a year road tax toooo
The same reasons electric cars failed in the 1920s and 30s apply today. A thoroughly bad idea for total industry replacement. They should be niche vehicles at most.
It's going to totally backfire on electric car owners with the price of energy rises, they do more damage to the environment when they are being made than they ever contribute to it, FACTS.
I loved this video and your impersonation of Orson Welles was spot on!!Just been on Amazon,twelve bottles of Clarksons lager THIRTY FIVE QUID,yeah THIRTY FIVE QUID!!In conparison 24 Corona bottles TWENTY ONE QUID!!
This went from a burger review to ev range anxiety lol. Electric vehicles aren't the future, people think they're saving the planet but they're not. I'll keep my petrol car thanks, Jeremy would love this video lol. Burger looked nice tho.
loved it until you had to struggle to Tamworth services for a charge there are 12x250kw chargers at Banbury 13 miles from Clarkson's farm then you are on the M40 why Tamworth?
We print labels for Diddly Squat - the shandy is one of ours. I live not too far from there. Manuka honey is way more expensive. Especially the high MGO rating stuff from New Zealand. £70 a jar in some instances. It’s also working out that charging electric cars soon will cost more than filing up with diesel.
It's a good job Jeremy didn't see you parking up otherwise you would be looking down both barrels with shouts off get off my land. The stress just watching the videof your journey almost gave me an asthma attack. According to the adverts on television everything is in place for carefree electric motoring
I have never in my life worried about "do I have enough fuel to get home". You can stick your overpriced milk cart. Give me worry free and reliability any day.
Just you wait, the energy crisis is gonna fuck us all up, NO power and NO gas for any of our cars. Good luck, hope you stacked up on survival materials and weapons.
Great video at Diddly Squat Farm, and think its clearly one of the biggest tourist traps in the UK now. That Burger did look good though. It's ironic you went to Jeremy's farm for this video, as the drive back was like that Top Gear challenge where they tried to drive the length of the country on a single tank of fuel, and were on fumes by the end. Nailbiting!!
I love Clarkson! I used to watch Top Gear religiously, have barely even watched it since he left. I loved that farm show he did, who thought a farm series could be so fun! i wish theyd make another one! I must say that burger did look very good 🏎
Hi Bud, on the way back from Jeremy clarkson farm you could of stop at solihull you definitely would been able to charge your car, by the way I've been to Jeremy's farm pre-pandemic it was very quiet. Keep up the good work. thanks Steven Birmingham.
Certainly will not be getting an electric car. I’m happy with my economical diesel with £30 a year car tax and know it’s easy to find a filling station and I can carry a spare can of diesel in the boot.
I am starting to find these videos funny although I am not sure they are meant to be. From Chipping Norton you had Banbury not far away with 8 Instavolt and 6 Osprey chargers. Warwick has 4 Instavolt chargers at a McDonalds, you could even have made it to Rugby services which has 12 CCS chargers. That's 30 chargers well within the range you had and there are countless others yet somehow you managed to almost run out of charge.
Love watching you videos your usa videos where amazing just one question why did you not go to Warwick service they have loads of charges there in front and around the back i dont understand all the service on the m40 and m42 have charger does the porsche have a special charge point
😆😆😆😆Maclee, my sister was stress out watching this video. She was worried you were going to run out of electric. I could not stop laughing thinking to myself he won't run out. Mind you I use to feel that way when I first start watching you. Now Diddly Squat farm. Not a fan of JC but have to give him major points. The farm's name Diddly Squat that sum it up 'I don't care.' The burger 🍔 looked good. Also the farm looks popular. 9 out of 10. 👍🌻
Straw bales, not hay! No duel carriageways please! Clarkson is a top bloke, speaks it how it is. 2.5% alc is fine 330ml for driving, esp with food. then you expect him to have juice for your ' daft car' Top vid AGAIN MacMaster, keep em coming. 😃
Burger did look absolutely great. A 10 for me. I think Jeremy Clarkson deliberately put his farm in an area as far away from electric charging points as he can get. Haha! So he can say "told you so!"
Clarkson , Hammond and May were the Rolls Royce of Top Gear it was a great watch proper petrol heads . However I would sooner drive an EV that watch it now [ those three wet blankets have killed it ] especially has am approaching my 66th birthday in December , just think with all that time on my hands I can spend it hanging looking for around charging points , eating food and getting fat whist wait for its to reach its charge. I dont care where or who sells burgers but £10 for a burger is pure day light robbery in my book.Great content Lee .
OMG!! not the Aston martin🤦♀️stunning my favourite car ❤ that was quite expensive honey 😊 Burger looked good lovely view from behind you while eating 👌 love the name of the farm 9/10👌 I'm getting EV charging Anxiety again 😱🤞🤣🤣 But it for the greater good Lee 👀🤣😘 x
It’s actually very common unless you’re at Wetherspoon. For example, Five Guys burgers don’t come with chips. Even McDonald’s and Burger King burgers don’t come with chips if you think about it - there’s an additional charge to upgrade to a meal. The people visiting here won’t be families or people on a budget; they’ll largely be pretty wealthy people. There’s no point in giving things away for free on the off chance that people are budgeting if the larger proportion of your clientele would pay the prices without blinking.
@@paulnolan6866 £49 for a meal is something most people could technically afford but not something that a lot of people could justify with other life costs, unless they have a decent amount of disposable income or it happens to be a very special occasion. On the whole the area is well-to-do, and the prices are in line with that, so it will generally be wealthy people or those prepared to spend £49 on their meal who will be visiting.
Watching your vlog, is the perfect example of why you should buy a burger at Diddly Squat Farm, & every reason not to buy an electric car. You seem to have developed a new syndrome, called 'range anxiety', & bearing in mind, how far technology has advanced in the motor industry, with air-conditioning being fitted as standard on most cars, you seem to have ended up an anxious sweaty mess, with air-conditioning you can't use, in a car you daren't drive at legal road speeds, & a possible 30 min wait for charger, plus charging time, to be free. How is that progress? & how does all that contribute to your concentration while driving. I think I'll soldier on in my 2014 Vw Beetle 2.0 TDI sport, with it's 690 mile range, continuously usable aircon, plus it's 3 minute fill up detail, & worry free drive, knowing I'll arrive reasonably fresh at my destination, & also having the security of knowing before setting out, that, bar an act of god , I'm actually going to get there that day, & not on the back of a tow truck, who knows when? Electric cars are nowhere near remotely able to replace the internal combustion engine at this time for the average driver, that's for sure. Great vlog tho, like your work. Regards Urban Geeze.
Dear The Macmaster...lol what a great advert for NOT buying an EV. You videoed all the reasons for NOT buying one! lol The current UK government plans are that from 2030 only EVs will be sold new and no combustion engineered cars. I plan to invest in a chain of car dealerships from around 2028 that plan to sell mainly used cars manufactured after 2026 as they will be high profit sales...super valuable to motorists from 2030 onwards!
Got stung by a bee once....£12 for a jar of Honey ! Question you have to ask yourself Mr Mac...Would Jeremy Clarkson queue for an hour and a half to see you ?
I’m an Australian living in rural Victoria. EV are ridiculous and impractical. I live 2700 km (1677 miles) from my mum, imagine how long it would take us to drive there in an EV. Australia is very vast and we travel greater distances to get to anywhere. Plus I love the sound of a good V8. Oh and that is about normal price for good raw honey, not like the crap you get in the supermarket that has god knows what in it, from god knows where. 😁
Remember going there in 2020 before the cost of living shot to the moon bought a cabbage new potatoes 2 sausage rolls and a scotch egg nearly £16 robbing bastard supposed to be from the north lol if Doncaster qualifies
Electric battery swapping looks to be the best way for this to work, the batteries are ready charged at the charging station, you drive in and a machine swaps your dead battery for a fully charged one and your off down the road in no time NIO has 860 power swap stations in China. They have one in Norway near Oslo and it takes just 6 mins. Sounds like a Nowegian Air road trip??
another great video Lee. You are no doubt off on your travels soon but what happened to Benidorm? Are you still planning a visit? Despite many trips to the USA and all Europe I still love it there more than anywhere or rather I love Albir which is just down the road but only €1.55 and 15 minutes on the bus away so you get the best of both worlds, beautiful peaceful resort or carnage 😂😂😂
No.1...they were STRAW bales..not hay!...and No.2...if you say "In the World" once more I shall have to give you a slap!!!...otherwise...great video!!!🤣🤣🤣
EVs are the Worst Cars in the World .. As you said you cant get back without a Charge and the odds of finding one in Chipping Norton is slim to say the least… But Petrol ⛽️ Stations are easy to find ….
Lee loved going out on a journey really enjoyed beautiful scenery no the honey for your hunny Sarah wasn't expensive reckon that sells well burger looked delicious wasn't over priced now I'm hungry, ♥️😋😋😋
On the M1 adjacent to Meadow Hell Shopping Centre, the speed is constantly restricted (via overhead gantry signs) to 60mph 'For air quality'. Would you get a speeding ticket for doing 70mph in the 'float?

You didn't see Clarkson, he was too busy behind the barn with the Stig steaming off labels from Tesco value pots of honey and relabeling them!
HAHAHAHAAAAA that made me die best laugh I’ve had all day

You have convinced me never to buy an electric car.

I was going to suggest me & the hubby went for a day out next week to Diddly Squat
I won’t bother LOL 😂
loved it until you had to struggle to Tamworth services for a charge there are 12x250kw chargers at Banbury 13 miles from Clarkson's farm then you are on the M40 why Tamworth?
Fabulous Lee 👏by the way I think Jeremy puts the great in Britain 🇬🇧 👍
We print labels for Diddly Squat - the shandy is one of ours. I live not too far from there. Manuka honey is way more expensive. Especially the high MGO rating stuff from New Zealand. £70 a jar in some instances. It’s also working out that charging electric cars soon will cost more than filing up with diesel.
It's a good job Jeremy didn't see you parking up otherwise you would be looking down both barrels with shouts off get off my land. The stress just watching the videof your journey almost gave me an asthma attack. According to the adverts on television everything is in place for carefree electric motoring
I have never in my life worried about "do I have enough fuel to get home". You can stick your overpriced milk cart. Give me worry free and reliability any day.
Just you wait, the energy crisis is gonna fuck us all up, NO power and NO gas for any of our cars. Good luck, hope you stacked up on survival materials and weapons.
Great video at Diddly Squat Farm, and think its clearly one of the biggest tourist traps in the UK now. That Burger did look good though.
It's ironic you went to Jeremy's farm for this video, as the drive back was like that Top Gear challenge where they tried to drive the length of the country on a single tank of fuel, and were on fumes by the end. Nailbiting!!
I love Clarkson! I used to watch Top Gear religiously, have barely even watched it since he left. I loved that farm show he did, who thought a farm series could be so fun! i wish theyd make another one! I must say that burger did look very good 🏎
@JR1505 oh excellent!! I'd heard reports ages ago but then all went quiet, that's great news, thanks for letting me know.
@@ItzTheJLife It takes a literal year to film, plus editing & post production, so yes - early next year is when we'll get to see it.
Hi Bud, on the way back from Jeremy clarkson farm you could of stop at solihull you definitely would been able to charge your car, by the way I've been to Jeremy's farm pre-pandemic it was very quiet. Keep up the good work. thanks Steven Birmingham.
Certainly will not be getting an electric car. I’m happy with my economical diesel with £30 a year car tax and know it’s easy to find a filling station and I can carry a spare can of diesel in the boot.
Wonder no more why Jeremy doesn't like electric cars.
If this is an example of the future for motoring you can stick it.
I am starting to find these videos funny although I am not sure they are meant to be. From Chipping Norton you had Banbury not far away with 8 Instavolt and 6 Osprey chargers. Warwick has 4 Instavolt chargers at a McDonalds, you could even have made it to Rugby services which has 12 CCS chargers. That's 30 chargers well within the range you had and there are countless others yet somehow you managed to almost run out of charge.
Following the Porsche GPS.
I generally enjoy your content. But why didn’t you just top up the car
to 80% on the way down which would remove any hassle on the
way back?
Yeah said it already £100000 and it cannot even guide you to the nearest chargers
@Pam GM No, it’s MUCH quicker charging from 50 to 80% than 80
to 100%.
Love watching you videos your usa videos where amazing just one question why did you not go to Warwick service they have loads of charges there in front and around the back i dont understand all the service on the m40 and m42 have charger does the porsche have a special charge point
Thanks :0) I just followed the Porsche Sat Nav System.
No need to "ask the audience" (or host) as Jeremy Clarkson is great because he's against the BBC TV License - And he now makes great burgers too !!
😆😆😆😆Maclee, my sister was stress out watching this video. She was worried you were going to run out of electric. I could not stop laughing thinking to myself he won't run out. Mind you I use to feel that way when I first start watching you. Now Diddly Squat farm. Not a fan of JC but have to give him major points. The farm's name Diddly Squat that sum it up 'I don't care.' The burger 🍔 looked good. Also the farm looks popular. 9 out of 10. 👍🌻
really enjoying this video, you wouldnt happen to have a box of swan vesta's
Straw bales, not hay!
No duel carriageways please!
Clarkson is a top bloke, speaks it how it is.
2.5% alc is fine 330ml for driving, esp with food.
then you expect him to have juice for your ' daft car'
Top vid AGAIN MacMaster, keep em coming. 😃
That burger looked great but the prices, especially the honey wow and the queues too.
Burger did look absolutely great. A 10 for me. I think Jeremy Clarkson deliberately put his farm in an area as far away from electric charging points as he can get. Haha! So he can say "told you so!"
Clarkson , Hammond and May were the Rolls Royce of Top Gear it was a great watch proper petrol heads . However I would sooner drive an EV that watch it now [ those three wet blankets have killed it ] especially has am approaching my 66th birthday in December , just think with all that time on my hands I can spend it hanging looking for around charging points , eating food and getting fat whist wait for its to reach its charge. I dont care where or who sells burgers but £10 for a burger is pure day light robbery in my book.Great content Lee .
OMG!! not the Aston martin🤦♀️stunning my favourite car ❤ that was quite expensive honey 😊 Burger looked good lovely view from behind you while eating 👌 love the name of the farm 9/10👌 I'm getting EV charging Anxiety again 😱🤞🤣🤣 But it for the greater good Lee 👀🤣😘 x
12,80£ is actually quite normal. And for a locally produced honey quite cheap. You pay for that jar in Germany probably 30 quid
LOL I feel like I'm on Clarkson Isle with all the "... in the world!" exclamations.
Forget about the electric cars the internal combustion engine lives on.
We took a random trip, to Diddly Squat, a year or so ago. It's ok for a novelty...just to say you've been...but blimey, those prices!
If I owned an electric car I would be in a permanent state of stress
Anyone know the song at 12:41 ??
Looks lovely, but always disappointed when burgers are served without chips
It’s actually very common unless you’re at Wetherspoon. For example, Five Guys burgers don’t come with chips. Even McDonald’s and Burger King burgers don’t come with chips if you think about it - there’s an additional charge to upgrade to a meal.
The people visiting here won’t be families or people on a budget; they’ll largely be pretty wealthy people. There’s no point in giving things away for free on the off chance that people are budgeting if the larger proportion of your clientele would pay the prices without blinking.
@@PotatoPirate123 it costs like 49 quid or something for your meal. Hardly rich lol
@@paulnolan6866 £49 for a meal is something most people could technically afford but not something that a lot of people could justify with other life costs, unless they have a decent amount of disposable income or it happens to be a very special occasion. On the whole the area is well-to-do, and the prices are in line with that, so it will generally be wealthy people or those prepared to spend £49 on their meal who will be visiting.
Watching your vlog, is the perfect example of why you should buy a burger at Diddly Squat Farm, & every reason not to buy an electric car. You seem to have developed a new syndrome, called 'range anxiety', & bearing in mind, how far technology has advanced in the motor industry, with air-conditioning being fitted as standard on most cars, you seem to have ended up an anxious sweaty mess, with air-conditioning you can't use, in a car you daren't drive at legal road speeds, & a possible 30 min wait for charger, plus charging time, to be free. How is that progress? & how does all that contribute to your concentration while driving.
I think I'll soldier on in my 2014 Vw Beetle 2.0 TDI sport, with it's 690 mile range, continuously usable aircon, plus it's 3 minute fill up detail, & worry free drive, knowing I'll arrive reasonably fresh at my destination, & also having the security of knowing before setting out, that, bar an act of god , I'm actually going to get there that day, & not on the back of a tow truck, who knows when?
Electric cars are nowhere near remotely able to replace the internal combustion engine at this time for the average driver, that's for sure.
Great vlog tho, like your work. Regards Urban Geeze.
Thank you. Happy New Year
Did you see yourself on front page of Daily Star, lol
Dear The Macmaster...lol what a great advert for NOT buying an EV. You videoed all the reasons for NOT buying one! lol The current UK government plans are that from 2030 only EVs will be sold new and no combustion engineered cars. I plan to invest in a chain of car dealerships from around 2028 that plan to sell mainly used cars manufactured after 2026 as they will be high profit sales...super valuable to motorists from 2030 onwards!
Got stung by a bee once....£12 for a jar of Honey ! Question you have to ask yourself Mr Mac...Would Jeremy Clarkson queue for an hour and a half to see you ?
To much stress running an electric car, always having your fingers crossed
I’m an Australian living in rural Victoria. EV are ridiculous and impractical. I live 2700 km (1677 miles) from my mum, imagine how long it would take us to drive there in an EV. Australia is very vast and we travel greater distances to get to anywhere. Plus I love the sound of a good V8. Oh and that is about normal price for good raw honey, not like the crap you get in the supermarket that has god knows what in it, from god knows where. 😁
Well done Lee maybe you'll get to link the honey pot later 😀 great work 👍
Remember going there in 2020 before the cost of living shot to the moon bought a cabbage new potatoes 2 sausage rolls and a scotch egg nearly £16 robbing bastard supposed to be from the north lol if Doncaster qualifies
Robbery I agree, so why did you pay?
@@nlanwarne stupidity experience off being there
Phew!! talk about on the edge of my seat....I was brickin it for yer...Hmm nah dont want to go electric..enjoyed your video as always..take care
Went there a year ago and had the bacon roll and they was really good to.
Electric battery swapping looks to be the best way for this to work, the batteries are ready charged at the charging station, you drive in and a machine swaps your dead battery for a fully charged one and your off down the road in no time NIO has 860 power swap stations in China. They have one in Norway near Oslo and it takes just 6 mins. Sounds like a Nowegian Air road trip??
Great, even more raping of the earth’s resources. Excuse the pun but EVs are shocking!
Perfect advert on why not to buy an electric vehicle. What a stressful going on .
another great video Lee. You are no doubt off on your travels soon but what happened to Benidorm? Are you still planning a visit? Despite many trips to the USA and all Europe I still love it there more than anywhere or rather I love Albir which is just down the road but only €1.55 and 15 minutes on the bus away so you get the best of both worlds, beautiful peaceful resort or carnage 😂😂😂
Hi Mark. I still have plans for Benidorm and Lanzarote. Lanzarote I am visiting in September after filming Daniel's Viking Ship in Tenerife. 👍🏼
No.1...they were STRAW bales..not hay!...and No.2...if you say "In the World" once more I shall have to give you a slap!!!...otherwise...great video!!!🤣🤣🤣
😂
I really enjoy your videos mate. Got in on your travelling stuff but enjoying the food videos :)
Thanks Dan.
EVs are the Worst Cars in the World .. As you said you cant get back without a Charge and the odds of finding one in Chipping Norton is slim to say the least… But Petrol ⛽️ Stations are easy to find ….
That Burger looked bloody lovely!
Electric cars seem very stressful 😱
Lee loved going out on a journey really enjoyed beautiful scenery no the honey for your hunny Sarah wasn't expensive reckon that sells well burger looked delicious wasn't over priced now I'm hungry, ♥️😋😋😋
Can you imagine being in a freezing cold EV in a blizzard? 😱
On the M1 adjacent to Meadow Hell Shopping Centre, the speed is constantly restricted (via overhead gantry signs) to 60mph 'For air quality'.
Would you get a speeding ticket for doing 70mph in the 'float?
Yeah. 😂
This is a great advert for not buying electric cars 😂. Great vid 👍
I would still buy one, but I would plan better and not make a dramatic video about it 🤣
@@baconbuttties Just cements the fact that there aren't enough charging points for the electric demand which is required for what the Greenies want
@@DennosManCave I would say there is enough for demand at the moment. There was quite a few chargers in Chipping Norton, bit slow but they were there.
@@DennosManCave i mean on the flip side there is also no fuel in the UK
@@dbzfanexwarbrady 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was there the other day. Was gonna visit it but definitely don't want to be giving him any of my money 🤣
Lol. 😂
He refuses cash too which is another big no no.
