  1. Partly. We also have a lot of spare gas powered electrical generation, and we can easily export around 4 GW of electrical power to Europe. As with any 'crisis', making the right short term decisions are not always the best long term. But the consequences of wrong short term decision is currently no power.
  2. What if the price goes down. Wholesale gas prices are down, as are volumes. https://www.catalyst-commercial.co.uk/wholesale-gas-prices/
  3. Lidl has them every now and again. https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/kitchen-essentials/livarno-home-kitchen-mixer-tap/p52066 25 quid
  4. As all the cables are in conduit, I think you can go for a Type 2 installation.
  5. Was at prep school in Kent with the sons of the Thailand President, think he was assassinated, or he may have done the farmers in.
  6. My public school was more exclusive, more BBC people than the print.
  7. Tigers like beans. Human beings.
  8. To the Daily Telegraph at the very least.
  9. Whichever heating system is installed, if you reduce the house's thermal losses, then you have a system that is cheaper to run. The reason for this is that you save on two points: You can run the system less time i.e. only when the outside air temperature is below 6°C. You need to put less energy in i.e. 6 kW as opposed to 9 kW dMEV is an admission of failure, get the airtightness sorted out properly and you can fit MVHR, does the same and scavenges some waste energy. Have you checked with your DNO that you can connect 5.46 kWp of PV. That amount of PV is capable of supplying most of your DHW, though during the winter it will only help a little bit.
  10. Found this about wiring. 328081417_ElectricWiringforDomesticInstallations.pdf
  11. This pansy was looking at me earlier.
  12. Slugs can live in the soil, so the copper bands may not stop the greedy bastards. I wonder if low power electrodes in pots would stop them better than a sprinkle of salt.
  13. 1 single in each room, 2 in the kitchen.
  14. Not a good idea to put cabling and polystyrene together.
  15. Or, £13.90 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384777307855
  16. I like that idea. So all meet up @BotusBuild's for tea, cake and hotknifing.
  17. We have Hogs Pudding. Haggis should be an extra with all meals.
  18. I like their 'Big Daddy breakfast. Well at the Penzance one. Probably the one furthest from Not counting Gibraltar.
  19. No https://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=Building+the+dream&all=on&search=Pirate+Search&page=0&orderby= Okay, possibly.
  20. I do 2 minutes work out every decade.
  21. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/killing-off-sycamore-roots.484405/
  22. You are a bit close to the canal, have you checked what you can poison the stumps with?
  23. @Gone West, @joe90 and myself could turn up at the film set and we could have a go. Think @BotusBuild has used ICF, depends if he is about.
  24. Does plaster/PB float?
  25. I have just changed the resistor pack for the heater fan on my car. Part was cheap. What a bigger to get to. Make sure whatever you do has easy access.
