Why do you think that
from the end of April
might mean "before the end of April?"
I am thrilled it is getting going, and looking forward to my rebate, and eager to see how they phase in the next group, but I can't see how a rebate paid "from the end of April" can be paid in April.
I am expecting to be able to reduce my direct debit in June, and it will be a nice bonus if I can do it in May - although that is pushing it as my payment date is the 5th of the month.
Better to under-promise and over-deliver.

Brilliant Guys, well done for capturing it Nowty. Don't know what the wind speed was but by my rough counting it was turning at around 8 rpm. No idea what that might relate to in terms of output!

Looking forward to seeing the gauges tomorrow. Looks like about lunchtime Weds for some decent output.

I've emailed the pic of my fathers name to him,

1) I'll have to wait till Emmerdale has finished before I call him.
2) It will take some time before he works out how to view the email on his iPAD.
3) Finally I'll get half an hour of, I don't understand how did they get my name on it ? :D

Beautiful to wake this morning and think that bad boys cranking. Floyd tune bass line for Money going through my head. Along with of course the Kerching of the cash registers.

SWMBO came out with a cracker, loving the thinking. 'Well Joe, what with climate change and the increase of storms we'll do OK for power output.' That's ma Girl! Toppest quality, lateral thinking :twisted:
