Don't really blame her, what a st position to be in, there's a chap who drives a fisker who lives not far from me, I imagine he'll be in a world of pain soon too
Absolutely, the st here is Fisker who is no doubt living a very wealthy lifestyle at the expense of his creditors.

Lots of buyers will have just looked at the product and the shiny premises and thought there was no more risk of disaster than if they bought a Kia or a BMW.

If there are no new updates to software does it matter? As an example we have a first edition ipad. It still does most things even though its last and final update was many years ago. Many things it can't do but it still essentially works.

Yes, that would have been my thought too, but it was evidently a lot worse than that, car appears to have been defective when supplied and the updates were supposed to fix that.

Looking at the size of her she clearly has an aversion to greens!

"The convoy of Fisker Ocean EVs, which were originally worth over £275,000 collectively, were dumped at the roadside by a local dealer seven months ago after the US Tesla rival filed for bankruptcy last summer. "

Dumping = council

[419 Fisker Oceans registered in UK]

I'm not so certain. Sure, there's every possibility it'll turn into a ruck with ensuing public disorder, but on the face of it that's a loving parent generously offering hospitality for the sake of their daughter making friends in a new environment.

I'm saying not council, until and unless it's followed by compo face in the local rag.

I'm with you.

New to the area and is trying to not ps off their neighbours by giving them a heads up in advance, which shows consideration (which is not usually a council trait) = not council

And then to try and use the party of a way of meeting neighbours and for her daughter to meet new friends = not council

On the flip side, equally I wouldn't be shocked if it were ruined by 'attendees'...

I wonder how many Doles Royces and PIP sticks will be left abandoned by the bouncy castle whilst said disabled people have a furious drunken bouncing session. Maybe the local dole cheat officers can stake it out from a neighbours upstairs window.
