I was having a cuppa after one of my medium length walks yesterday. There was a couple of 'Yummy Mummies' and there just adorably dressed offspring. One was complaining that that the disposable compostable cups did not actually compost in her bin. Apparently it was something to do with 'needing a high temperature'. Back at the car park, I noticed them safely strapping in the children. One had a RangeRover, the other a Jeep. Probably lived next to each other too. Look up your CO2/mile emissions and multiply by your mileage. Then do a VW, except that was NOX.

Doubt you would get that volume though a normal CH system either.

Get a bigger system and I shall carry on driving my old car.

Yes And my house uses very little.

I still think it is just marketing language. 100 litres of water costs me about 80 pence.

Not sure what car you drive but my car generates about 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, my house about 2 tonnes. (car 165g/mile and electricity 400g/kWh)

Why is it called a 'power flush'. Surely this is just bigging up a system flush. I have a small electric drill, but it is hardly a power tool, it only has 500W of power.

Why not fit the boiler to externally in a suitable wind and weather proof box?

Re the CO sensor issue with gas boilers, it is a pity that it is not mandated that the boiler is fitted with one at manufacture. Then a warning for when it needs changing, and auto-shutdown if it throws a fault or goes too long unchanged. Now I know that some people will find a way around it, but most wont. CO sensors are cheap, as is a logic control, so why is it not done. Cars have a lot more safety systems that run reliably for years, and cars a re cheaper than they have ever been (in real terms, not individual terms). While they are at it, they could mandate that all electrical meters have an isolator too. Another simple thing to improve safety.

That is because it is still early days in environmentalism. it is hard to convince someone to spend £10k or £20k on an asset, that in the recent past, increased by that much in a year or so. Much easier, and financially simpler, to get the car companies to market a package that is faster, safer, prettier and cheaper to run, to replace a diminishing asset that needs changing anyway.

Knowing that could have saved us a fair bit of time over here

I like gloss rollers, can do a door in a few minutes. Since getting my scaffold tower, it has rained everyday for the last 3 weeks. So the best way to get back to the external stuff, is to start the internal painting.

Yes, it is good. The few remaining locals can charge such a premium that they can do nothing for 8 months of the year. Controversial viewpoint I know, but what else is Salcombe good for these days.

Got her number 999 Everytime I look at a bicycle pump my cheeks clench, tightly.

You sure you are not from Essex.

Could still buy a Ford Escort then.

Not long to go for me then. Last time I saw a doctor, she put a huge camera up my arse. Not sure I want to go back for that 'special personal service'.

You can rent their old building out. £20/sq foot http://www.showcase.co.uk/property/Walton-Street/South-East/Aylesbury/9638655 Does seem odd that the tax office was opposite and they never noticed that the company was corrupt. I knew a guy that worked at Equitable in a senior position, he expected sympathy when he lost his job. He ended up as the only shelf stacker at Tesco with a new BMW 5 series. Thieving crooks.

I don't live in Perranporth!

I was at a shop and saw a jacket I liked in a sale. So took it to the counter where the girl got the concept of 70% off the price wrong. So go the jacket for less than 20 quid. she discounted the discounted price. It was a White Stuff one and everyone was impressed just how fashionable I was. I found my Converse flipflops in a carpark, another 50 quid 'saved'. Today, I shall put on my jeans from Poundland, they cost a fiver, T-Shirt from Sports Direct was 3 quid, fleese from Mountain Whorehouse was 6 quid. Socks 2 quid a pair. So clothed for 16 quid. Walking jacket and boots adds on about £300 to that.

I could happily live of others' pensions. Should have become a 'financial adviser', it is what those thieving bastards do all day.

That is when people are on holiday though.

It will be interesting to see if PV installation prices really increase because of this. I am a great believer in price points. If a product goes above a price point, it stops selling.

Tupperware is polyethylene, it breaks down in light very quickly. Best avoided.
