  1. So what is the point of a smart meter if it isn't smart?. We both know it's all obfuscated bs, but atleast use what you got instead of letting a country sit in the actual dark.
  2. Someone's garden with a stump grinder/forestry flail in the background?
  3. One certainly has to wonder, you've got all these swimming pools threatening to close due to gas prices. Surely fit an electric heater and use everything for a derisory few pence a kw or export it to the continent. Same with schools and other places, use it all, surely with all the smart meters it's easy to do.
  4. Plus you have to factor that against the legally binding Co2 reduction for Paris or keyoto, yes I know it's all smoke, mirrors and Bs of the highest order. But it's still a shocking amount of money.
  5. Jebus, it sounds like we have a furry!.
  6. Time to wheel out Shirley Manson to sing your answer, the world is not enough!.
  7. Aren't they sheep that eat seaweed?.
  8. Cmon I'd rather Boris had the cash than let loose with anything else Lord Bamford manufacturers!. Suppose a fast track would be ULEZ exempt tho, few steps up from a Boris bike.
  9. Maybe he was a little early to do a Margret Thatcher style photo opportunity?. It's definitely a head scratcher with us sending tanks that don't use the same main gun ammunition as the Germans Leopard that Poland has plenty of.
  10. Am I showing my age when having to explain Little Britain?.
  11. Are you sure it wasn't hours wasted making clear ice for all those parties ?. Coupled with hours researching the correct ways of making alcoholic jelly ?.
  12. They do increase the allowance yearly, but at the same time it just stokes artificial inflation.
  13. It was a running gag where the guy in the meme had to apologise usually for some sexual news story. One of them was something like a public toilet, pants down etc etc
  14. No your subject is an automatic you need to pay them more, which still doesn't fix your argument that people aren't payed enough. Just because you move the threshold ie pay more, it fails to fix the not having enough which at 40k is laughable. So that leaves the option of changing the system to not pay benefit, which you would then mean people aren't payed enough yet again.
  15. Did the lawyer also trip whilst his pants were down, or something like that.
  16. I've not said anything about benefits, I've claimed for zero and hopefully never will. I'm saying just paying more achieves nothing, maybe I was brought up to ask for nothing and expect nothing.
  17. Well that's assuming your partner isn't atleast working part time. Even if you say 15-20k part time, plus the 40k isn't a bad earning for a household if you have kids. You can't just have 50k as a minimum wage, false minimum wage just distorts the economy. And still would fail to achieve your goal. A loaf of own brand supermarket bread at 50k would be £8.
  18. Yeap that's the one, it's the same as the one on HETAS site 🙂. Valiant Moisture Meter | Colour Change SHOP.HETAS.CO.UK Valiant Moisture Meter Colour Change
  19. I use a Valiant one as it was the recommend one for the firewood certification scheme. To be honest they're all much of a muchness at a under £30 level. You can verify the reading against a set resistor value as it's a ohm meter lookup chart that's available online.
  20. If you were in an occupied country they didn't give you much chance to refuse to do as instructed, well you could refuse but it affected your career, kinda. Cleaning up the serial number will tell you everything, either way the authorities will no doubt be required even in it's scrap heap state.
  21. Thermal overload
  22. Can't believe nobody said "A brass cap in his ass".
  23. Same here, I never leave it full overnight and definitely with the drain left open. Whilst it might be safe during the daytime when required, if it's not needed it's not on as realistically unless you're a garage who gets them inspected you don't need air 24/7.
  24. Aren't they magnesium, even if it's an alloy it might turn into one giant Roman candle. If anyone is brave enough, can you video it just incase!.
  25. We've discussed this before as I'm somewhat like you agricultural wise, but I don't automatically assume it's all bad as a default. I'm low input farming, just don't agree with any rewilding when low impact sheep do a better job. Grain growing is probably the only one where it's max output but go watch Ollyblogs for a better idea of where the industry is heading. The reality is lower inputs= lower output, so acreage has to increase to equal the same output.
