Re: Solar record?
It's still nice to have easy to understand numbers like "peak solar record" though as it gives an overall indication of the scale of where solar is going - which is continuing year on year - as if nothing else its a counter to the "solar doesn't work in the UK" argument that sti...

Re: ASAP / aircon?
Being 'pre packed' with the gas as such, as long as you ensure you do a decent vacuum test on the pipework with a proper pump and leave on test for a while, ots pretty idiot proof really. All thats neccesary for the gas to be sent into the refridge lines is an allen key. One of those jobs made to s...

On the subject of cars getting bigger, the first thing that strikes me as I get off the ferry when returning to UK is how tiny and crowded UK roads are. Driving from Austria through Germany and Netherlands on mainly but not exclusively motorway then getting spat off the ferry onto the M62 is an eye ...

As a person who was alone in the house at the time and suffers from ptsd from an assault 2 years ago, i felt much more comf...
