The article's main point is that bookings are down from the year before in the first 4 months of this year.

I'd imagine their reference point to bookings being "the worst they've seen" this summer is last summer.

i.e it was hot as hell last summer yet numbers were better than they are this year

That's the sort of decisions being made: do I cancel and lose this money. I don't many could swallow the loss and still went.

My guess is it's a trip most book a year out (ie after returning from their last one) so the decline will be alot more noticeable around October

I could be wrong but I don't think s/he was being serious

I know China is predominantly e-mopeds now I'd be surprised if Vietnam isn't transitioning quickly also.

I've had mine for 3yrs now in the UK and love it. Easily carry in both batteries to charge so no concern about not owning a drive, my electricity prices are variable so worst case I'm looking at equiv of about 400mpg but typically charge it overnight at about 2000mpg

I have an e-moto, but then it's vespa shaped so I don't want to sound thirsty calling it an e-moto.

But then, I can't call it an e-scooter as that's one those stand up things. So I opt for e-moped, even though technically a moped is something different in our country everything shaped like a vespa is a moped

Ahhh, got you, I'm so sorry - it hadn't twigged but now I get it. Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. Yes the UK simps on the USA historically but there is a changing sentiment towards Canada and less dependence on the US generally. The same for the rest of Europe hence the cartoon.

I'm a casual user of AI and have found Mistral's Le Chat to be very comprehensive

No drama, must be alot of work hoarding all those vikings!

Youre right, we have this at my own club and while chaotic works well. As it happens, whole on holiday I put myself fwd for a handful of matches on playtomic and none of them came thro.

I should have asked to be added to the local padel club to my holiday resort WhatsApp chat but judging on dialogue I suspect they wouldn't have agreed to it.

Thanks for taking the time he time to reply
