Re: Under sink water heaters

Nice neat install there mate, particularly like the neat end feed copper work. The only thing I don't reckon are those flexi hoses, I know they are supplied with the kit but they are not good in the long term, I can see you have been gentle with the radii but still...... Over the years I have replac...

Re: New knife law "update" throws us into further turmoil..

Knife laws are a mess. Urban crime is out of control. Meanwhile ordinary folk going about their business could suffer serious consequences if they encounter a police officer in a bad mood. For me the focus shouldn't be on the knife. The focus should be on bringing criminals into society by getting ...

Re: DIY Install and MCS accreditation!

We spoke to Octopus a couple of weeks ago, apparently MCS accreditation is the only way, they did say a DIY system with MCS is fine. So it would seem if you know a friendly MCS person who is happy to sign the form you are away. Otherwise probably not. I am wondering if there is a safe, legal, fair w...

Re: Why is EU leccy cheaper

Basically coz it is great for the shareholders. The UK energy market, along with many others is a rigged mish-mash of stichups to conceal the true level of profiteering which is the usual situation, though not always it has to be said. This from a fellow who knows about this stuff (Mike Parr) Some n...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?

Sorry but once you start quoting the IPCC you have lost any argument. Just follow the money. Now back in the real world how is this heat wave going in Europe of alarmist quotes of mid 40's and higher temperature. Funny how the locals in Spain and Greece are saying its just normal summer temperature...

Re: Wind Farm Cancelled

Has anyone estimated costs to just shove solar panels on every residential (house) roof and add in 10kWh worth of storage in every house? It would make for interesting comparison to these subsidy costs... I must admit to being interested in the analysis of roof shapes affecting power generation. I ...

Ah yes, another "ask an expert in a different discipline" ploy Dyson in his day was a giant of cosmology and quantum electrodynamics, but not a climate specialist. I trade you this https://e360.yale.edu/features/freeman_dyson_takes_on_the_climate_establishment from which Dyson says:- He po...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?

John Please, you're getting your logic mixed up here. The one relevant issue is that the CO2 levels have risen from about 300 ppm to over 400ppm in the last sixty years, and an even bigger increase since we started burning carbon industrially, That is a massive increase, the annual winter/summer var...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?

So did I, it seems very close to total rubbish, for instance he likens the climate to red paint, once you have painted a canvas red, more red paint doesn't make it any more red. WTF is that all about?? also he talks about the molecular angle the two oxygen atoms make with the carbon and likens it to...
