  1. Lovely fish are sole.
  2. Possibly. The data is only hours of spillage, not overall concentration levels, which would be much more useful.
  3. As a general rule, in life and in restaurants, avoid all bottom feeders. Like being a little bit pregnant though. I don't think people were that well and healthy 500 years ago.
  4. What I did my BSc Dissertation in.
  5. Is the month tested included in the period mean it is tested against. This is really a problem with using a statistical mean as it includes the extremes. It is why the median is often used. When looking at sunlight data, it is usual to create two sets of data, one that includes the night, and the other that excludes it.
  6. There is some historical data here: https://data.catchmentbasedapproach.org/datasets/theriverstrust::event-duration-monitoring-storm-overflows-2022-england-and-wales/about I used to kayak in it, during the summer of 1976 there was a particular problem, but generally it was not too bad.
  7. 1. Cornwall - 11,285 2. Carmarthenshire - 11,195 3. County Durham - 9,940 4. Gwynedd - 9,715 5. Rhondda Cynon Taf - 7,875 6. Northumberland - 7,382 7. Pembrokeshire - 6,988 8. Allerdale - 6,774 9. Bradford - 5,216 10. Neath Port Talbot - 5,034 Hours of sewage pumped. Brown crab sandwich anyone? https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/cornwall-sea-rivers-most-polluted-8582451
  8. I wondered if a MVHR system could be made with a couple of car radiators.
  9. How about a heat exchanger?
  10. That is pretty reasonable. The 52m from the property raised an interesting thought in my mind, which is pretty warped. 50m away from me us probably 20 homes. There is a bit of land that currently has 1 tree on it, a large sycamore. If diameter of the canopy was replaced by a circle of PV, the area would be around 250m2, the sides could be around 60m2, a third of that would be easily usable, especially if it was allowed to track the sun, like a merry-go_round. A quick look at PVGIS shows that at 0.6kW/m2 it would produce around 100 MWh per year. With almost 6MWh in December. That would work out at 300 kWh per house, 10 kWh per day. That would pay for 3 bath fulls of water, or heat my house for a day. Well worth cutting a tree down for, and the ground below could become something useful, it is currently a dog toilet. Nonsense to do, but shows what could be done quite easily and cheaply.
  11. That is quite impressive for the first week in July, though the sun only gets 54° high.
  12. While it may delay any work, there are systems in place that will allow you to carry out the work. https://www.gov.uk/party-walls-building-works
  13. That is your real problem. Apart from maybe reducing air movement a little bit, as an insulation area, not really wide enough. Probably going to have to do a mixture of internal and external insulation.
  14. I can't remember if you are going grid tied or off grid with this installation? Does that inverter island? (can't see a model number)
  15. Can you set your iPad up to do a timelaspe, or if your memory card is large enough, a long video (they can be speeded up easily enough)? https://www.howtogeek.com/226487/how-to-take-time-lapse-videos-on-iphone-or-ipad/ Just make sure it is on charge all night tonight.
  16. @DazRave I am not ignoring your questions, just trying to write a a bit of a guide that will cover most of what you want. One problem with forums is that the same questions get answered over and over again, usually by the same people. I would quite like to avoid that, and now seems like a good time to start. May take a few days, and hopefully I will have something for you.
  17. I just love a hash 4af3a3b61d25366b7b1efa7923eea289.mp4.2618557127cdcfbcb915c3701917b219 Bit extreme, I would have just redecorated.
  18. Just about to hang my washing out, drying will be solar powered.
  19. Is there a limit to how much cash can go in an ISA, seem to remember it is £20,000. So you and your better half can put in £40,000. So £2k a year. Many on here like to rough it in a caravan.
  20. I am looking forward to seeing how these perform. I could hang two or three modules on my SW facing front wall, would be almost enough to cover my day usage.
  21. Do you know how much, have you thought of doing some decent monitoring (better than a smart meter shows i.e. every few second or every Wh, zero draw times, minimum draw, maximum draw). We all like power, but how much do they actually use? Measure them. You will need an 'islanding' system, they generally cost more as they have to totally isolate the house from the grid when there is an outage. As it is in the summer, is it trees, or too many local PV systems causing over-voltage shutdown. You could ask your local DNO if they will allow you to fit PV over the usual 4kW/16A per phase. They can, in exceptional circumstances, refuse a smaller system. Not really a switch, the PV/Battery system delivers at a slightly higher voltage than the grid delivers, so power naturally flows to the nearest load. It depends on what the minimum load the system needs to start. As I mentioned earlier, some need to 'see' a 200W load before they do anything. So worth looking into that. Lots if monitoring is needed, it is cheap and easy enough to do. You can make useful charts as well.
  22. I do my own, mirror and camera. Even got an attachment to trip orifices. Very good it is. Think it cost a tenner in The Middle of Lidl.
