Re: Politics

Just popping by to mention that I’m very happy indeed with the way this forum is run. We were rudderless in the mist for a while (after events that cannot be mentioned) and Joe came to our rescue.

Re: Help with crimping battery cables

Re: Octopus Tariffs

Octopus make this really complicated and their web is terrible, so I understand your frustration. However the reality is really simple: if you can (or can be bothered to) timeshift your consumption the IOG is the best tariff by far. If you don’t qualify for IOG then vanilla Go is 2nd best.
