I was in Buckinghamshire, with a Cornish flag on the car.

Was a regular here until I had to travel up country most weekends. Hardly saving energy driving an extra 600 miles every week.

At Land's End at the moment. I have had a locals pass for many years. This gives me free parking. Not been here for a while, noticed the parking is now got cameras and a pay machine. Went to the hotel reception and asked if locals pass was still valid. They handed me a tablet, punched in my name and car reg, free parking, brilliant. Mind you, they charged me £4.25 for half a coke.

Air to Air Heat Pump is an option, gives cooling in the summer as well. At a CoP of 4, it is similar to the gas cost. If electricity goes below 30p/kWh and gas is about 8p/kWh that is. But as I mentioned earlier, if you have UFH and little insulation, you are heating the ground. An A2AHP gets around part of that problem. The units are quite cheap as well.

Anyone know what the floor insulation levels were 6 years ago, if it needed any at all. 20' is 6.1m, we went metric in the early 1970s.

Happiness Units Like twins, two halfwits don't make a whole wit.

They use your car registration. I tried to take some of my mother's rubbish to her local tip, refused entry. Apparently only if your car is registered in the county can you use the tip she pays for. Okay, I just fly tipped it, leaving a not saying 'that will save you some cash'.

Does that mean I don't have to hide the asbestos in my weekly black bag collection. I bet it does not make the men at my local tip any friendlier. I asked why they were wearing body cams now. Apparently they had an incident where someone swore at them.

Is that a recommended supplier, or someone to avoid?

I think think ~50p a day, which is about what meter rental is (though there are other services that are included in that) to deliver my very reliable power supply is quite cheap. For me, that is 0.06p/kWh. I could, if I pulled the full 100A get that down to 0.00000086805555555p/kWh. Not many people would want to do that for a job. A kWh is the same as pushing a 1 tonne car, through 1 meter, every second, for an hour. Yesterday I used 4 kWh, so a small urchin would have worked very hard. Not the grid that is the problem. It is a National Treasure

Is that the same grid that powers businesses and public services? Can I start to use cocaine and become a bigger prick than I already am? I will only buy from Swansea dealers if it helps sustainability. I would be silently shouting "puff" but in a Welsh accent as it sounds better.

That seems to be a fairly common approach towards the cost/benefit of battery ownership And on a more general note, the environment. I include myself in the 'don't care' group, and it is backed up by my day to day behaviour.

Did the operator have a restaurant before? I like a burger. Went to Lidl and bought enough to make 4, worked out at 80p each. That included chips.

Umm. There is a big price difference though. Adding an extra 1m2 of PV cost a lot more than adding 0.3m2 of TV viewing area.

The lovely little Tim Hartford did a bit on this today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001n1nl Well with listening to as it puts things into perspective. Also confirm a lot of what I, and others, have been saying.

Yes. Why I very really have tea when I am out. My general rule is to only get what I cannot easily make at home.

We seem to be noticing a reduction in trade (catering). Usually by now we are struggling and have to take on extra staff, not at that stage yet. Also noticed that in town 3 of the larger restaurants have closed down and a couple of the smaller ones have not opened up as usual. Not surprising really, I feel ripped off in restaurants as I know the prices they are paying, roughly what their overheads are, and can then calculate the amount of mark up they are putting on.

it is, in reality, the only method. Many battery systems have a thermocouple/temperature sensor on then. Monitoring that, along with the MJ delivered (either charging or discharging) may show a good correlation if efficiency. I am always surprised how warm my phone gets when it has been on the fast charger compared to the slow one I usually use.

Does that just mean your system is oversized for your usage.

Won't be as good, b cause it is not a game changer. 7 quid is about 35 kWh on the original FiT. How many do you think you are exporting?

What you going to do when they pull this tariff from the market?

Not seen that for over a day now.

But not with bare hands. Especially iny the DC side, the black cables.
