    I am sure there's Finns who drink beer non-stop especially during Vappu and in pubs outside of Helsinki
    Maybe I mixed with a better class of Finns in Helsinki
    Sample size: I visited Finland every few weeks for a year and later I visited with a friend for a holiday
    It was the same every time
    My pretend sample size. Probably millions during many hundreds of trips over very many centuries and literally thousands of visits to saunas, toilets, pubs, restaurants, private houses, churches, bus stops, newsagents, banks, etc.

    Did you notice that the better pubs had queues outside yet when you were let in some pubs were half empty?
    They do it to make out that people think the pubs are popular

    Another interesting thing was the trains. If you turned up at a station two minutes before the timetabled arrival of a train there would be nobody there. Exactly on time the train would arrive and so would the potential passengers!
    no need for hanging around

    the absolutely best thing about Finland is the girls. They are very straight forward. If they like you they let you know.

    No, no, very sound advice.

    Don't forget to plug it in before you go to sleep.

    arent second hand EVs quite cheap because of concerns over battery life?

    -> Maybe I mixed with a better class of Finns in Helsinki
    How rude!
    And highly unlikely.
    Anyway, back to what you said "they (Finns) would have a beer and next they would have a litre of water before another beer". As Heimdallr touches on, if you just stop and think about what you posted you would realise it's nonsense. Even on a reasonably steady night, say 4 beers and 4 litres of water!! They'd internally drown!

    Anyway, on with the day ....

    How rude!? This is the same guy who said I was talking bollocks! You have no self awareness.

    maybe it was half a litre
    I was confused
    if a bottle of beer was half a litre and it was followed by half a litre of tap water it would take a lot to beat a night out in Hull

    A steady night is 4 pints? What has happened to this country? Old codgers on here have that in Ebeneezers before the game,and more, and the same in Clarendon after the game.

    maybe 4 pints gets him pissed?
    it could explain why he never noticed all the Finns drinking water in between rounds

    I actually agree with quite a bit of what you post .... but come on .... be honest, what you posted was nonsense and I strongly suspect you realise it!! Go on, just admit it.

    you are the one talking nonsense
    everything you said was wrong
    you say that I was talking bollocks, then when I commented about the Finns you mix with you object
    you have some weird idea about relatively small amounts of liquid being dangerous
    I worry if you "strongly suspect" something. it just shows a complete lack of judgement
    why do you think it's nonsense? why do you suspect I realise it?

    Some certainly are, when I looked at changing a car at the end of last year, I looked at a BMW i8 as one of the options. You can get a five year old one with a fairly low mileage for just over £40k, which is cheap when you consider they cost over £100k. I only considered it for about an hour, firstly because of the battery life issue, secondly because I really wanted a convertible (the roadster's at least £15k more) and thirdly because my missus refused to get in any car with scissor doors.

    I took an i8 on a test drive, I loved every aspect of it apart from 1 thing….it didn’t feel like a sports car without the roar of the engine. It felt soulless, I left the show room feeling disappointed, I was determined to buy one!

    In the UK and US, the residual values are less.

    The price of a brand new Fisker Ocean Extreme dropped by over a third this week, if you can get them in the UK - you just have to sign a disclaimer that removes your consumer rights if the company goes out of business. But if it doesn't, you have a manufacturers and battery warranty for a decade.

    (They will most likely go out of business)
