    Solar Panels & F-I-T's

    No, as I understand it, your rate gets assigned when you start, as you say there are people out there with some stonking FIT rates. This changes. Note I carefully said 20p per unit. This is a simply Dosh/Export Units calculation. I am assuming my Export meter units are kWh but...

    Solar Panels & F-I-T's

    Panels and battery may be a better way to go then. You are a lot further south so maybe 6 or 8 should cover your consumption and leave a bit over for charging. Need to balance this against the cost of the extra panels. Inverter and battery are the more costly items. Don't think there is a...

    Solar Panels & F-I-T's

    I'd be tempted to go with a wind generator. You normally need the power in the evenings. Up here in winter it's dark at 1600 so lights are on until about midnight, 8 hrs. If you had a deep cycle you could consume that in the evenings from the juice you had stored up during the day. But they...

    Solar Panels & F-I-T's

    I've an array of 16, on a good sunny day they generate about 3.2kWh peak. (I'm in Scotland roof is about 20degress off south) Think the best I have pulled in a day is about 23kWh. My last quarters income was £270. So far I am about £400 under their estimated income after 7 years. They give...

    The Covid19 Thread

    I didn't see that WHO explicit denial, seems ridiculous to me but hey what do I know... I thought they may have just 'de-emphasized it' :) And I know you know that water vapour is just little droplets of water as opposed to big bogeys. As for floating around for many days, this is unlikely as...

    The Covid19 Thread

    I managed 4 minutes before I got fed up and had to get back to work, apologies if it's another point you are trying to make. This is true for all cold, flu and I'm sure a lot of other virus and shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. However the vast majority of the risk is from coming in...

    Compared to the crap we used to pump into the atmosphere and rivers, we have come a fair way, not that there isn't still a load we need to do!

    The Covid19 Thread

    No we absolutely can't. Couple of years ago it was our joint 50ths and our silver wedding anniversary and we'd saved up and splashed out big time on a 'holiday of a lifetime' I woke up about 6am on my 50th and wandered out onto our balcony to have a bit of a contemplation about getting to 50...

    The Covid19 Thread

    SARS and COVID are not the same, SARS is deadlier but less easily spread in the community, mainly down to viral shedding only occurring after the patient was quite ill. That's why the SARS lock down was more effective in ending it quickly. Either way drastic measures are required to...

    The old Britishblades forum

    Never did hear what happened to Martyn, I understood he was ill and so, understandably, it ceased to be important to him. Hope it turned out ok for him. Sad that he wasn't able to hand the reins over, as you say there was a lot of amazing stuff on there.

    They do the same for non-responders to the HepC vaccine if they get infected.

    The Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger

    Ooft that is some eating! I (used to) go out to NC a lot and some of their bbq stuff is amazing, quite hard to find though. One of the guys I work with goes on about the different types of bbq... kinda lost on me but I guess like the characteristics of different malts, you need to be into it!
