  1. Can call in at MacSalvors in the way. Make for a proper day out. @joe90 have you thought of just finding things that are growing locally and taking cuttings, seeds and berries. I am always amazed what springs up in my garden.
  2. How irritating, when people can't be bothered to read what has been said to help. About what I expect.
  3. That is because you drive an unpimped Zoe. All you will get is fat birds with unshaved armpits.
  4. Bit irrelevant now. I wonder if it was the chlorine/bromine environment that caused the greying. The white, which we used in the steamrooms never discoloured, but that was basically being dosed with distilled water all day long.
  5. We used to have to try out dozens of different sealants. Never found one that stayed clear. Most end up with a grey tints to them. You may have more luck with a polyurethane, but they tend to break down in UV light. The only plastic that stays optically clear is acrylic, but never seen a clear and flexible acrylic sealant.
  6. You can get treatment for Asperger's syndrome if you want to.
  7. Yes, but it depends what you actually want to show. I can sort my data by time i.e. day, month. I chart the energy usage by time of day, then plot usage, temperature inside and out, and show the amounts used and the date that is relevant. Just working on a new template that can more easily take the 6 second data that my logger collect.
  8. As usual, you have changed the meaning of a word to suit your ego. 'Often' does not mean 'always' and 'may' does not mean 'will'. So either learn to understand, and keep it within context, or (expletive deleted) off. Anyway, haven't you got a world class IT team to manage, or you been 'released' to troll on the internet. Weekends are so peaceful when your mum stops you playing on the computer in your bedroom.
  9. Yes, and most of them are your errors (amongst many others). But then you think that a word can have an polar opposite meaning when it suits your fantasy argument, you even disagree with people that agree with you. Bet you were fun to teach at school, held up the whole class I suspect.
  10. Had a girlfriend whose parents lived in Aintree. One day, when they were out in the back garden, they heard a noise at the front of the house. Went in and some bloke was robbing their TV. when asked what he was doing, his reply was 'nicking your TV', walked off with it, put it in his van and drove off. Not sure if Alan Bleasdale was a neighbour.
  11. Timber is a man well worth listening to. Not sure if he still posts. One advantage of pouring after the studs are in, is that the cast area is smaller, so probably less chance of shrinking causing cracking. Just put a break in by all doorways.
  12. Depends, lots, or none on a PFI.
  13. Not been there much since the 1980s, cost you a new set of car wheels every night visit won't it. Look up GSE Integrated PV, not that ugly silver bolt on stuff.
  14. No need to be smugly and nitpicky over a general concept you have only just discovered. Makes you act like a teenage WOKE.
  15. OK. The title of the thread becomes more appropriate.
  16. We may find out as someone on here DIYed and failled to notify their DNO.
  17. No, now wash your mouth out with soap.
  18. I suspect that the DNOs have to look at a much bigger picture. If there proportion of micro generation gets too large, grid stability issues may arise. I suspect that the 16A per phase is vert much on the safe side. Would be a worry if on a scattered cloud day an extra MW of poorly unregulated PV caused a 3 GW nuclear power station to go off line. We saw what two independent faults did in August 2019.
  19. Poetry is easily done Just take a Bob Dylan song And rearrange the words https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/i-dont-believe-you-she-acts-we-never-have-met/
  20. You would need a BMS, hopefully with MPPT to charge the batteries. Is there any reason to just spur off the DC side, before the inverter, to a BMS. Not sure how the load sharing will work, but if the BMS takes less load than the inverter, then charging is reduced, and visa versa. You can also tap of at a more suitable voltage for the BMS. Don't think they like 600V+.
  21. Misread blue tops. Down here, there is a group of female, cold water swimmers. They are called The Blue Tits. I wish the ones that park in the road, blocking in legitimately parked cars, would fail to rise.
  22. Maybe @joe90 has a similar problem.
  23. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McGonagall
  24. Yes, you can get what they call 'islanding' systems, and purely stand alone systems. How would you switch between your stored energy and grid energy for when you need extra power that the PV/battery system cannot supply i.e. 3 to 4 months in the winter. You also, when it come to calculating the cost, need to put a price on lost generation i.e. system losses, unused generation potential.
  25. With limited testing/development, then send the bill to the MOD for £13bn. Unless you have a mate in the government, then up the bill o £37bn.
