I doubt it will really benefit anyone.

An old mat of mine used to work for Tannoy (in Tylers Green), He gave me loads of stuff over the years. Thankfully I have £50 ears, so all lost on me.

If you raised it up, you could make a cavity/dungeon underneath.

You get prior notice, a kind of strangled snapping sound. Usually one caliper seizes up and it feels wrong. But why worry about the brakes, the clutch is going to take the hammering.

Will most of that be on the highly mortgaged places, so recent 1st time buyers and the idiots that have borrowed way too much. There is a big difference in an 8% drop in the South East and an 8% drop in the North East.

I think that bit is still there, been a while since I have taken a train into Aylesbury (about 1998)

Not too brilliant for any heating system except direct electrical resistance heating (fan heater).

Part of the reason I live in Cornwall now. Winters are much warmer than Aylesbury. Do you remember how cold Friars was before the redevelopment. When Bowie, Fish and John Cooper Clarke frequented And now, with a roof.

Good old Denver. On a similar Latitude as Ankara, Turkey, though the temperatures are not so dissimilar to SE UK.

No idea. Do you have a smart meter?

Can you download the half hourly data for when you were away. That may shed some light in that is happening.

I had an auto Corsa, was great until it developed a fault. Would hold a treat on any hill, second one touched the accelerator, the (expletive deleted)er cut out. Coming out of Watford Tesco on evening it did it. One guy in the queue very angry, so just had to point out I was doing it in purpose, purely to ruin his evening. Moving house may be an option, pretty flat in Essex. Oh hang on, homes have stopped selling, and the price is dropping.

The original home of telecommunications. Porthcurno Poldhu Goonhilly We have copper running all the way from Land's End to the Tamar, and beyond. While Bristol still uses the cabin boys and Seaman Stains to blow your whistle.

That predates Symbian

Is it really expensive to run, what is the kWh/K.m3 number?

Get @Thorfun on the job.

If it is warm, and making a noise, put a meter on it and see how much power it is using.

And some people on here pay to get the pole taken away and bury the cable. As much as I dislike the pole and cables out the front of my house, I could, either a couple of broomsticks, reach them. May be useful oneday.

There is a song called '30 thousand pounds of bananas' Has a line in it. "That's when he lost his head, not to mention an arm and a leg' There is a really important message in the song.

It is also dependant latitude. Most of the USA is on a latitude with Madrid or below, this means that the sides of the house has less time exposed to direct beam irradiation than in the UK, which is a minimum of 10° further north. Most of the overheating in the UK is caused by a plume of hot air moving in from Europe and North Africa, venting a house does not help much then. If solar is causing an overheating problem, better off putting a reflective film on the windows.

Or the system shuts down in a safe manner. It is easier to route cables than pipes. PV is not exactly new technology, been around 50 years in the domestic setting. The efficiency is a tricky question to answer. While, for any given amount of area and insolation, ST will absorb more energy over time. The trouble is, because of the crude on or off control, much of that absorbed energy is of little use e.g. too cold or too hot. PV while needing a minimum amount of photons to lift the electrons to a higher energy state, produces a more usable amount of energy because the electronics in the inverter converts and conditions the output to what is needed i.e. 230V 50Hz, and that can be added to the general mix of electrical power from other sources, so can be used to help drive a heat pump, boosting efficiency more.

I wasn't thinking of any particular make, just one with the lowest overall standby load.
