So can the neighbours

I seem to remember that in the early 80's the UK sold something to Romania, in return we got tinned tomatoes. They ended up cost 9p/tin, and where very good. Not point buying any other really. Not sure what we sold, think it may have been a ship.

I am going to rise to this. Do you, Dave Jones, think that immigrant, on mass, cost the country money? Blair also banned Fox Hunting, and dragged us into an unnecessary war. I am not fan, and never was, of Blair.

Because it is not a science, and they speak complete nonsense, but think they know the answer to everything.

It is why I was skeptical of that 17% figure. Like a lot of 'statistics', it needs questioning right at the start. Don't get me wrong, I am all for intensive farming, and it is a technological playground, which is interesting. But I will always question things that seem a bit iffy. Like the use of artificial light, and the claim that it reduces food miles.

But only about 10% different here. And they don't actually say what they are measuring.

Is that maximum power, or energy? I shall try and read the link later, just off out.

This is my opinion as social science is not my fields (though I had to study it, and wasted a year with social scientists once). Nearly everything in life is sculpted by others expectations, this is something the media can play on as it is easy to do so. There is no need to show a genuine cause and effect as, like astrology, there is no burden of proof. The 'proof' is in the number, say enough things, to enough people, and some people will agree. Now that has happened in the last 40 years or so in the UK is that we have had a decline in manual jobs because of globalisation. This has affected some people much more than others. Now if you are affected, or live in a community that is affected, then it is easy to blame the people that have got the jobs, or the people that caused them to go away. It is also hard to see an individual who makes, what seems to be, a disproportionate amount of salary, from doing a simple task. It is also hard to see people who are long term unemployed. It is this unbalance in out economy that people should really be blaming, and trying to rectify, but it is much easier to blame others, while doing nothing. When a chance to for change does come along, especially when an emotional argument, not based in fact, is used, people get swayed. A truly rational person looks at the facts presented, not how they are presented. Very few people are truly rational. Just changing one word for another, can make a huge difference. "You will be better off" "You could be better off" The above appealed to Brexeteers. "You know what you can have" "You know what you can loose" The above appealed to Leavers.

The second one, xenophobe, I hate autocorrect on my phone.

Unlike the xenophobes that voted to leave.

Or 9kW (Edit, put right above) Not really about kW though, it is about kWh as that takes a time period into account. During a typical week, the CoP may range from just under 1 (legionella cycle), to over 6 (very mild, dry weather and at the point of maximum power transfer). It also matters where it is measured. What comes out of the hot tap will be lower than what comes out of the hot pipe from the ASHP.

Can I come and have a look next time you are visiting, I think there is more to this than meets the eye. Two related things spring to mind. They are undersized and the majority of the use will be for DHW.

Wrong Place

Will be fine then. I have just started to read this, can tell you how it all works when I have finished. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0385539304

There was some debate, and i think someone posted up the rules. Too many people like to think they know best, but don't understand our electrical standards are very robust and need to be kept to. If your inverter was overproducing, it would hit the voltage limit, this can cause problems down the line.

Some of us do, others think it is wonderful. Some chef's also think that Gordon Ramsay is a good bloke and has a great management style. I don't have a TV but sometimes catch glimpses of it at the end of the night.

Generally no more than 30% undersizing. I fitted 3.5 kW to a 3 kW inverter. It got very noisy and the fan chucked out loads of hot air. This caused the room it was in to become unusable.

There seems to be some disagreement about what constitutes 16A per phase for export purposes. I think it is limited by module capacity, not inverter capacity.

I would be surprised if it that different, but it does depend what is measured, power or energy. also some plants don't need maximum light levels, think of forest fruits. the Netherlands has a dryer, and colder climate than us, but not by much. It is similar to Easy Anglia. It is well irrigated these days, unlikely the UK. It is easier to manage a smaller area after all. They also benefit from neighbouring countries supplying cheao, off peak, power. And they have a large petrochemical industry, so easy fertilisers. And they had the Hongerwinter, where they were purposely starved.

Not as much as I thought, but then I tend to see a lot of it down here, so that clouds thinking. Dividing one by the other, then multiplying by those gives a 2000 fold increase.

@Ferdinand You are good at ferreting out data. Can you finds out how much land in the UK is used for horticulture, and compare that with arable and livestock.

Right. The live streaming of your orgies. Seems reasonable.

I think windows should be the ordered and delivered first, then build the house around them.

Time Travel was it. The film came out 9 years later.

Who knows, The Lizard is a bit insular, or is it Peninsular. Considering that Goonhilly was a communication centre, then got taken over by BT, you would think that a mobile phone would work, but no, all the white vans drive to Culdrose, pull over in a layby, and check for messages. I like it down there. Daphne de Maurier wrote The Birds, after a childhood experience with seagulls, down there.
