(Un)Social Media

In this video I talk about my weird relationship with social media from my beginnings with Twitter (now X), my falling out with Facebook and Threads and why I don't seem to be able to not get myself into trouble on there. TikTok, Blue Sky and Mastodon get a mention as do more obscure platforms Tribel and Hive. And why is it that I never have problems on Instagram? I think I know the reason and it's lead me to make a decision...

Driving My EV Instead Of Taking The Train

Просмотров 2,4 тыс.14 дней назад

In this video I'm on my way back from a business trip to London from my home in Dorset. I talk about why I took the car and didn't take the train. I discuss the costs involved when comparing an EV to train travel. I also look at mapping issues and navigate some roadworks (too much like multitasking, if you ask me!) I raise some points in the video that are worth discussing in more detail in the...

In this video I take good friends Paul and Joanna out for their first ever journey in an electric car! And Paul gets to drive it too. I try to answer their EV questions as best I can (feel free to correct me in the comments). Find out what they think of the experience of travelling and driving in an EV. I also discuss why some people may find the decision to change to a full electric vehicle ch...

Me, My Dog and Her Cancer

Просмотров 2103 месяца назад

In 2023 my English Show Cocker Spaniel, Amber, was diagnosed with liver cancer. In this surprisingly uplifting film I vlog my way through the journey from the intial diagnosis, through treatment and recovery. Dogs take a very special place in so many families and hopefully Amber's place in our hearts shines through this film from start to finish. Chapters: 00:00 Kim 00:30 Me, My Dog and Her Can...

Most of the time I drive my electric car round town and on country roads. I rarely go on the motorway. Recently I had to travel some distance to attend a meeting and this would involve quite a bit of time on motorways so I thought it would be a great opportunity to see how that would impact the efficiency of my vehicle. I've had has high as 6.9 miles per kWh, although that's the exception rathe...

I've been an EV owner since December 2022 and am so pleased I decided to skip hybrid altogether and go straight from a fully petrol powered vehicle to a fully electric one. In 2024 I believe that this option is by far the best one for the majority of drivers - even those who always purchase second hand. In this video I explain why I think that and tackle the main arguments against going EV head...

Making Green Plans - Getting rid of gas. Getting more solar. And a walk round my lounge and kitchen

Просмотров 4096 месяцев назад

This is the first video in a new series... if all goes according to plan. I've been making myself greener for some time now (in an environmental sense, not actually painting myself green, that would be silly). In this video I talk about how I want to take that to the next level. I cover solar, batteries and getting the gas cut off amongst other things. Solar is a no-brainer, however adding a ba...

This is a follow up video. You can watch part 1 here: ruclips.net/video/-cV8OfJARTs/видео.html In this video I continue the story of problems I've been having with my EV, a Nissan Ariya. We pick up the story a few weeks after part 1 (but don't worry because I give a full recap of what happened in that first part). I talk about what Nissan have done to fix my problems. I also visit a brand new c...

EV Problems Part 1: My EV Won't Start!

Просмотров 4,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад

In this video my EV becomes a rather expensive paperweight as it's totally bricked and refuses to go. What on earth is happening? I also get to drive a car that I haven't driven before (and tell you all about it). I'll be covering things like checking the battery charge, using a flappy paddle gearbox, stop-go in ICE cars, emissions, what I hate about petrol stations and all sorts of general ram...

Three Runs For The Price Of One

It's been a few weeks since my last running vlog, so in this one there are no fewer than three, yes THREE runs. I talk about where I am with my running as 2023 draws to a close and also a little bit about the content coming up on the channel. Here's the first long form film I made that I talk about in the video: ruclips.net/video/LgAcmhVMvyM/видео.html Thanks so much for watching, subscribing, ...

EV Road Trip With No Rapid Charging

Просмотров 1 тыс.9 месяцев назад

I've been an EV owner for a few months now and have managed to avoid the necessity to rapid charge for all that time. In this video I go away on holiday, a journey that will take me beyond the range of my vehicle and yet I manage to go to the holiday destination, travel around the local area and return home again with having to rapid charge at all. Not even once. How on earth did I do that? Tha...

My Running Mistake Solved!

Просмотров 68910 месяцев назад

My running over the last 12 months has taken something of a nosedive. Since completing the Bournemouth Half Marathon in October 2022 I haven't moved on from there and am now slower, and moving over shorter distances. In fact, the number of runs I've been on has been significantly less this year than last. But I think I've worked out what I need to do about it! And in this video I talk about fut...

This week I'm running and ranting. It's almost like multitasking, but I don't really understand that as a concept... I'm asking for your opinon on the mountains of FUD that's appearing in the so called newspapers now for months. Are you falling for their relentless green-bashing? Thanks so much for watching, subscribing, liking, commenting and sharing. I'm Andy Clayton and in 2018 I did Couch T...

iPhone 15 First Impression #iphone

Просмотров 33011 месяцев назад

It's my first tech video for ages, but it's a milestone moment as I unbox the brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max that has been released to the general public just today! I'm upgrading from an iPhone 11 Pro Max so I compare the two phones, look at what's in the box and even do a quick "day 1 test" out and about. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are the first of Apple's phones to feature USB-C but there'...
