  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. @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.
  4. Right. The live streaming of your orgies. Seems reasonable.
  5. I think windows should be the ordered and delivered first, then build the house around them.
  6. Time Travel was it. The film came out 9 years later.
  7. 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.
  8. How about some actual figures: floor area, wall area, perimeter to area fraction, volume. Oh dear, where do we start with this one. It is probably having a greater cooling effect, especially as some of your place is buried. Where is it: inside, outside. Cold bridging? Not that crazy, fitting far-infrared on the ceiling would be crazy. But sticking with that theme, how about forced air heating, get the air changes then. But hard to fit with thick walls, and takes power to run. How do you generate power to run the pumps at the moment?
  9. The UK can be self sufficient in food, not a problem usually. Choice would be limited, some years there would be over production, and some years under production. There is also a foods safety issue. Many houses have been built on ex industrial land. Though it should have been cleaned up, this will not always have happened, then think of avian flu, swine fever and other commutable diseases. The reason we have a global supply chain in agriculture is because it is more efficient. Who are we fighting? Ourselves?
  10. Or change her phone to your provider, it does not cost anthing.
  11. I used to live in Cury. (Other dishes are around)
  12. Your bog looks like the ones at my school. Hopefully @DamonHD HD will be along to explain what happens when the raised cistern falls on your head.
  13. You need to treat your bitches better then.
  14. How are you going to deal with sewage?
  15. Do they spend more on printer paper and ink?
  16. Already got a shower in it
  17. Evening Mr Trevithick. Redruth are you, your relative was born near Tesco Extra
  18. https://randomnerdtutorials.com/micropython-esp8266-deep-sleep-wake-up-sources/ Not read it fully
  19. I went to work for most of it, I keep suggesting that I get furloughed, but seems I am needed, no matter how useless I pretend to be.
  20. I think I read somewhere that it was smaller, and cheaper to run, than Birmingham council. Though I do agree that moving every month is a bit bonkers, but then our politicians generally go 'back home' every week. Say it costs £200 quid each, that is over £6m/year, and that is before moving staff/security about. I really think that is a distraction.
  21. We have not seen the problems caused by restrictive trade yet.
  22. So we have the perfect outcome. Well done 'Leave'. You are the winners, now what is the prize, oh, a smaller economy and more expensive trade. oh and i did not say we keep voting ad infinitum, just that the lies Brexiteers peddled have been exposed. That should spark concern to anyone that wants sovereignty, being governed by crooks, cheaters and untrustworthy people never ends well. You will have to go back a few pages to see my ideas on voting reform. But as i said, not relevant as we have voted.
  23. An ESP has a built in power saving function i believe. I really need to set up a network at home ans have a play with them again. They have been gathering dust for 2 years.
  24. That goes back to my voting reform, not that it is relavant. If you have a binary question, then realistically you need to have an overall majority. We have seen what has happened when you don't, not even a single party in power can agree. We should really rerun it, then we will all be better off.
