Jammy lad. Mine's settled down now but for a while I had very little notice of toilet requirements. It lead to more than one instance of "chewing a brick" whilst desperately trying to find a convenience!

Probably best not to go there after our last close interaction with bats

Does that include anything in liquid form?

If you like beer try Vocation Heart and Soul, I wasn't aware it was gluten free until I bought a can in London. Prior to that I had sunk loads of it as it was a cracking pint in my local. I think it is made with millet but you would never know unless somebody told you.
Heart & Soul is Gluten free!
We are excited to be able to announce that Heart & Soul, our 4.4% Session IPA is now Gluten Free in can, keg and cask. We have delayed announcing this as we waited for new updated can artwork to arrive, and it's finally here! But never fear!... This is the same Heart & Soul as always, just with...

Haven’t drunk beer for many years, probably early 80s, long before I was diagnosed. First pint I did drink was a Pint of mild, 1s 6d, 7.5p in today’s money.

A very kind offer but I couldn't deprive a man of his water of life. Is it a local or generally available beer?

Very local, brewed in Cragg Vale near Hebden Bridge, not sure if they sell it elsewhere outside Calderdale. The brewery tap is near Hebden Bridge train station so I go in there for a pint while waiting for the missus to pick me up.

How many pints needed to require you to be picked up?

It would appear not, since their website CLICKY doesn't list it as available for online purchase/delivery.
Presumably it doesn't travel well?

I think they are probably happy brewing ale for their own bar and guest beers for other pubs in the locale.It would appear not, since their website CLICKY doesn't list it as available for online purchase/delivery.
Their neighbour is Vocation beers, and they are expanding very quickly. I can buy their beer almost anywhere. They will be bought out soon, just like Heineken bought out Beavertown Brewery of Neck Oil and Gamma Ray fame.

Back to electric cars & the grid for a change ...
Today I had a 15-mile test drive in a VW Caddy trade type vehicle with a diesel engine.
Nice ride a bit strange having all the usual controls electronic but easy to handle, seat adjustments were however sodding rough mechanical stuff & because I'm 80 % disabled they will need a lot of modifications .... if I eventually decide to get one & can afford the deposit and contributions to the adaptation costs, I will also need to include a hoist and a tailgate automatic or electric opener & closer another £3K plus 
Lead time a year or more!
Joseph, the customer care guy told me that all new electric cars from VW will have the facility of a charged battery able to feed back into to mains or your own home supply with a slight modification similar to solar PV generation wiring. He also said that VW are training all sales staff with the vision that the electricity boards / companies will be able to smart switch power about from one locality even if cars are parked up and connected to the smart chargers so sudden heavy loads can be sent to places where the demand is at that time of the day such as to work places such as industry when the home in question does not need 15 kw/hrs. all day .
I asked him if this vision included the vehicle user getting paid for inputting power to the grid. his reply, most likely a modified billing will be used to adjust things.
It's really opened my head about the Vauxhall Condo if that's the case, there's still a long lead time but batteries are making leaps & bounds every week these days.
Current distance doing realistic driving, with lights wipers radio & heater on is almost 145miles against warm sunny days where nothing but the drive motors, computers, screens, & side lights are on, the range is the order of 178 mile without charging.
Heck to only limiting factor for me is the hundred- & ten-mile bladder stop ..roughly every two hours, that's not a problem as it's been my norm since 1995 when I damaged my spine.
Other news from VW is there is big monster in most of their showrooms hiding under a big blue sheet. It's their all-electric VW MPV/ camper or cargo called, " The BUZZ " . It'll be interesting to read some reviews in a few months' time when it's been used & thoroughly tested through a full UK winter.
