Yes. It is a problem with the electorial system. I did suggest an alternative system, but no one had taken me up on it. In our usual system, we can elect a government with less than 50% if votes cast. Same in US, how they got Trump and not Clinton.

Because, when people say 'the majority voted to leave', it is not true. All that happened is the majority of people who bothered to vote, got the mandate. But you cannot truly govern without consent, and I don't think there is consent on leaving Europe. Was what? You say you are not niece, but where are your reasons, and the policies you agree with.

I got so much dust on me at the moment, I suspect my hair looks like his. But more seriously, this is what happens when we do not have representative democracy.

Yes

I was under the impression that brexiteers were the majority If you count the number of people that voted leave, and compared it the number that voted remain, plus the non-voters, then the minority 'won'. It is too easy to forget that a decision like this affected the disenfranchised. I am quite happy to let all the remain voters work and pay tax to pay for me to wallow in collective self pity. Seems fair that the 'victors' should do all the work, it is what they wanted.

No one likes to admit they have been suckered. What amazes me is that half the coverage was pointing this out to them. I think, that all Brexiteer should be forced to go to work in the bright new future they have created, while the rest of us (the majority) can live off the generous state benefits that immigrants allegedly claim when they get here. Won't take long selling fish and Toyota to pay for it all, will it. Seems fair to me.

One of the best cars I ever had. Took me ages to realise it only has 3 cylinders.

@PeterStarck Exactly, and as temperature differences increases, the energy usage goes up exponentially, confusing things even more. One of the reasons that just my space heating load is tiny. Take today, the sun is flooding in, washing on the line and I am sanding woodwork. All very comfortable. But if I had to tumble the washing, and was sitting down in the gloom, my energy usage would go up.

What made me think about it, and taking the piss out of other members.

Set up your own.

There is a place called WorkBox in town, nice view over the harbour. Think it is £110/month, and free coffee. I was going to join, but I did not have an Apple product in my portfolio, or a disruptive technology that any fool could do. Or a beard. https://theworkbox.com/ Cheap than some garden sheds though.

I can't see it, so you are safe there.

Jeremy Vine, was just so fine Fished every day with his line He spun it along, while all hope was gone But claimed that the fish were mine

100 kWh.m-2.a-1

Yes they are. 30 quid each for some DHT11s

Does it make it taste better when sold in an imperial unit? It is my sovereign right to use 3.412142 Btu/h (aprox) instead of 1W. Can't see any confusion. So that means I can have a short ton of of ice made in a mere 24 hours.

Cast acrylic is alright, extruded is the ne that gives problems. You can also get flexible acrylic. By twin walled polycarbonate is probably the easy one, though it does degrade fairly quickly when exposed to UV. Why acrylic is used on sunbeds it does not degrade.

I am not so keen of the remote disconnection facility. I also don't know if I will be able to use my data logger with a new one.

That is how I fixed it when it got stuck, wish I could get it to stick in the night position, any idea if that can happen?

I do. Weigh the amount of timber you put in, and every 15 minutes, note the rise in air temperature. Work out the mass of air in the room, then calculate. And while you are at it, count the number of 'rings' on each log, work out the mean, and compare the number of years it takes to grow, compared to the number of minutes it takes to burn.

I have done a quick power frequency analysis, my water heating and space heating accounts for around 9% of my total load, just water heartng is 6%, so that leaves 3% for space heating. 87% of my total usage is 600W or under. So if I divide my 4.122 MWh/Year by 48m2, my heating load is will be 3% of that, or 2.6 kWh.m-2.y-1 Suck on that. (actually I live in a very mild part of the UK, some years I have never put the heating on, and there are incidental gains to be had, which are amplified by having a small volume, I probably heat the place up a degree or two)

Do you accept that ASHP (actually all heat pumps) need to be 'plumbed' differently that a gas combi? If you do, then it is just a case of designing both systems, costing them out, and seeing which comes out on top.

And it is getting us in a right muddle. But people believe what they want to believe. Trouble is, it is very dangerous and costly. Just today, this was on. Stick with it, shows how easily 'experts' can be fooled, and fools are always fools. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000q3d5

Yes, as the volume increase, the volume to surface area decreases, so large houses use less energy when measured by square metre. This is party because fixed loads are similar i.e. cooking, refrigeration, bathing. One of the reasons mine seems to high, but my total usage is pretty reasonable.
