The grocery chain says the move is part of a trial to cut carbon emissions, but has insisted the measure will not impact food safety.

It said the current industry standard of putting freezers at -18C was set almost 100 years ago and had not been updated since, despite improvements in refrigeration technology.

Motoring experts have called for Labour to change its approach to the UK's upcoming petrol and diesel car ban with the 2030 date set to be restored.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has admitted the 2030 date to end the sale of new combustion vehicles will shortly be reintroduced.

Vauxhall and Peugeot owner Stellantis has said it could stop production at its Ellesmere Port and Luton plants should “stupid” regulatory conditions change.

Maria Grazia Devino, UK managing director, warned the carmaker would make a decision in “less than a year” due to government sales quotas and a lack of incentives relating to VAT on vehicles and electricity.

The roar of the leaf blower has become an inescapable part of daily life in communities across America, leading towns and states to ban or restrict blowers that run on gasoline.

But the measures face blowback from the landscaping industry and some property owners who say that the battery-powered blowers favored by the legislation are costlier and not nearly as effective as the gasoline-powered ones.

“If you look at what this machines does, how loud it is, how much it pollutes, it's not normal to be accepted where we live, where our children play," said Jessica Stolzberg, a writer and crusader against gas-powered leaf blowers who helped get a ban on the machines enacted in her hometown of Montclair, New Jersey.

Never understood the business model. Overpriced used cars delivered in trucks = extra cost. Why did anyone even think delivering a car in a truck is a more sensible option than offering drop-by delivery?

Anyways, much of the reason I suspect is because the used car market has become increasingly unaffordable. Everyone is chasing diesel and petrol cars as close to nobody wants electric cars. This is raising the price of diesel cars uncontrollably. The 2016 Mondeo I bought in 2019 is worth more today than when I bought it. It's crazy.

Government net zero rules are to blame, as always. Did you know Ford was forced to stop selling diesel and petrol cars because they sold too many? You thought electric-only is in 2030/2035? Think again.

Under current government rules in smallprint, all car manufacturers must sell 50% electric by 2026 (!) or face extremely high fines. Ford has stopped selling diesel cars 6 months of the year here to adjust to the rules. It's the government's way of falsifying statistics by trying to show more and more people are buying new electric cars. Reality is, fewer and fewer diesel cars are allowed to be sold here.

A WIDOWED man has hit out at a utilities company which had wrongly quoted him more than £13,000 for his annual electricity bill.

David Hordon, 67, had been paying £147 each month for gas and electric from his home he bought in Warwick Road, Boscombe, earlier this year.

However, the retired music teacher from London received an email from British Gas quoting him an estimated annual tariff of £13,268 – the equivalent of £36 a day.

Sharkey’s Southampton hit by £237,000 electricity bill

A row has erupted between an energy company and furious sports bar owners who claim they have been ripped off with a £237,000 electricity bill.

Rod Cake and Leon Lindbald of Sharkey’s have refused to pay for the last 16 months as they say Pozitive Energy have massively overcharged them.

But the energy provider stands by the hefty bill, saying there are no discrepancies from the readings of the meter they installed.

Leon feared for the future of their business and said: “If that was truly our energy bill, the Southampton venue would make no money.

“That’s our yearly profit out the window.”

The 50-year-old's eyebrows were raised when the site’s electricity bill rocketed three months after opening last year.

He said: “Our first monthly bill after opening was £8,000, but the second month it shot up to £19,000, then £27,000 the following month.

“We have 110 television screens in the bar, so I totalled up all their electrical usage.

“This showed that if the figures from Pozitive were correct, we would have to be running a thousand TVs, 24 hours a day."


Months later, Leon decided to install another meter, independent to the smart meter from Pozitive.

This revealed - he claims - that the smart meter was measuring three times more electricity than the meter Leon had installed.

Rod, managing director, said Pozitive Energy will ‘not accept’ their readings are too high.

He said: “We’ve had to go to an independent company to figure out what’s been going on.

“It’s disgraceful. It feels like they are ripping us off - £30k a month for electric is what you’d pay for a big site like Westquay.

“If we did pay this amount, the business would be in big trouble cashflow wise.

“We realised that something was drastically wrong.

“The one good thing about this is that we haven’t paid them but doing that has caused us problems as it affects our accounts.”

Leon feared the venue might not survive if he and Rod had to fork out for the electricity bill.

He said: “It’s a battle we don’t need to have, I am shocked by it.

“Rod and I had a discussion and if it did turn out to be true, we would’ve worked around it, but it would have been incredibly difficult.”

A Pozitive Energy spokesperson said: "We encourage the customer to continue engaging with us on this matter directly so that we may assist with any concerns.

"However, based on our internal investigation, it is evident that there are no discrepancies in the main meter's consumption measurement."

Top comment:The company in question - Pozitive Energy - had revenues of 156k in 2021, 143k in 2020 and 110k in 2019.

I'm sorry but, to be very blunt, it's your responsibility to do research on your suppliers, particularly as the owner of a large sports bar. Faced with the options of house names like British Gas and e.on or large B2B names like Crown and Opus, you've handed over your entire energy supply to a company with revenues of a corner shop.

Your energy bill is higher than their revenues from last year. If you pay it, you've more than tripled their revenue.

Sorry, but it's on you. Basic research. They also have 1 star on Trustpilot from lots of sole traders. This took me 5 seconds google, and unlike you, I have zero stakes in the question of who supplies you energy. You very much do.

If a new company arrives on my doorstep offering a deal, and I research them and their entire company makes less money than my own energy bill alone for last year, I think common sense would tell me to stay away, no?

Firstly, the net zero target is impossible without taking the population of the UK back to an earlier era. Even in the medieval period, Stone, Bronze, Iron and Dark Ages the people of the UK used fire for heat and cooking. Removing gas, oil and coal from the UK domestic fuel mix will leave most people in fuel poverty and exacerbate the private burning of wood and domestic waste. This will increase carbon emissions massively.

Secondly, is the money available to provide every house, car park and service station with enough electricity and charging points for 20 million electric vehicles and provide a heat-pump for every house? I’ve seen suggested costs of two trillion Pounds for this.

Thirdly, with recent projects such as Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C nuclear power stations, Dreadnought submarines and many others unable to attract the necessary engineers and the shortages caused by the government’s recent IR35 rules, it is highly unlikely that power generation will be able to satisfy a heat-pump and electric vehicle filled UK by 2050.

Fourthly, are we really EVER going to be net zero carbon? The end of plastics, paints, pharmaceuticals, fertilisers and chemicals...or massive carbon-scrubbing on an industrial scale (a technology which is unproven as yet)? Planting trees seems to be the only mitigation to carbon emissions currently and easily chopped down. The UK would need to remove all the materials of modern life since petrol was historically a waste product from the cracking of oil. The petrol-powered motor car became ubiquitous to end the flaring of millions of gallons of petrol!

Fifthly, it seems we are heading down the route former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown took with the electronics industry in 2000…bring in so many new taxes that industry almost entirely relocates to the Far East? Much of the electronics industry was attracted to the UK by former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s with reductions in taxation.

Do we really want a future where the majority of the World has access to cheap and generally ‘dirty’ energy and the UK is left in fuel poverty or do we want to develop and roll out new technologies at a sustainable pace?

Sixthly, a human exhales about a tenth of the average car’s carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Please advise us of your plan for Net Zero?

I, and some of my family members, rely on pharmaceutical products for a reasonable standard of living. If you want to kill my family, I won’t be able to support your Net Zero goals!

strategy and luck
