MCS system are more than just electrically safe and compliant though.

It is like virginity then: the other thing that you cannot get back. You may find out one day.

Better make the hole bigger then.

So no energy lost, or cash. The system still worked? All the rest was your choosing. Does make one wonder about buying into an eco system though.

What was actually wasted?

Normal for power, it is what I drew, on average, from the grid last week. It will be 2.4 kWh/day, so at 35p/kWh, 84p/day, before everything else is added.

Except they have decided not to, anymore. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/oct/09/experts-attack-government-inaction-over-energy-saving-guidance

Why the worry about parking on a slope, tide timetable and a weather map is more useful.

Same down here. Had to point out that most people ride them into town where the brothel is.

Is DNO an animal protection organisation?

The Mona Lisa, which is surprisingly small when you see it, is 0.77m by 0.53m. Not sure what size that Netgear unit is.

They are 'crisis' actors following a carefully crafted, but factually wrong script. The idea is to make people doubt what they know, or just stop engaging with people. Did I say people, I meant arseholes.

If the outside temperature was between 0⁰C and 4⁰C, then the CoP takes a dip usually as that it a strange range for water vapour. Quite often see this dip on efficiency charts.

Yes. Just yesterday I was overhearing a couple talking about getting a new car, the wife (German) was convinced that even a small EV will use more energy than a petrol car. Now I don't know all the details, but she was so adamant I wanted to ask if she thought wind turbines and solar panels suffer the same, as I still hear that spoken as a truth.

These may be useful Probably not for pulling fuses though.

Get one of these and start investigating temperatures of walls, doors, whatnots and so forth.

That is happening, probably at a faster rate then it was going to happen. It just does not happen overnight.

I did agree with someone, that is about as far as I got to criticism.

Changing the subject a little. If your islanding PV is connected to a spare in your CU, and you flip the CU isolator, your circuits will be live won't they?

When the sparky we employed used to change consumer units, he just put on some of those orange 'grippy gloves' and had one of us stand close. The instruction was 'if I start shaking, kick me, it means I have been walloped'. Was Australian. Oddly enough, thinking back 20+ years, when the main fuse was changed from a 60A to an 100A one at my old house, the DNO boys did similar, but in the rain. When I did my Part P, the bloke teaching us said, 'if caught, argue that it is a health and safety matter'.

Yes, it is easy to self filter information. Why I never comment (almost) on peoples' house designs/layouts. What do I know, or care, about what other peoples houses look like, or how they think they will live in them.

Can you directly supply a storage vessel without it being grid tied? Should be able to keep your existing tariff as it is technically off grid.

Offer them some free legal advice. MOVE

No, but they did give out the same ENVI with the optical reader. There are probably a million of these, still in boxes, up in peoples lofts. The real problem is that people are illiterate about their whole domestic energy, no amount of metering and displaying is going to change that, Strictly is on the TV. Edit: I am going to add this, even most people on here don't give a (expletive deleted) about what they are using, and don't want to learn even the basics.

Except mine reads the LED on the main meter. One of the reasons the CC device was so good.
