The UK is #6 globally in terms of GDP, and at least where I live in the south east there are Teslas everywhere I look.

I think this says more about the problem with averages.

I've been fortunate enough to own both Subarus (Imprezas) and Porsches in my time. As another commenter mentioned, I purposely bought these to "hoon around in".

I didn't have a crash but I wonder if this was more down to luck than better judgement/driving skills. I'm older now, have kids and a better grasp of statistics. I drive a lot slower and considerately these days.

With all the AI fuss, I personally don't think it'll be long before cars are, if not driving themselves, will only allow themselves to be driven within the bounds of sense. Cars like this, and the drivers, will be confined to the race track and the "Porsche Experience Centre" at Silverstone, as per the article. I don't think this is a bad thing.

I’m by no means an expert but could raising rates increase the strength of the pound, which could have a deflationary affect on import prices, including energy?

I'd be intrigued to hear more about your theory

If you’re starting a solo saas business (and even if you’re not) I cannot recommend this podcast series highly enough.

OP here, thanks for taking the time to look at this. Quite agree that it is light on features and is a minimal implementation of what we would like to build. It's something that we thought would be useful, that we would use ourselves and wanted to get some early feedback to see if the idea has traction.
