Absolutely no doubt that i would get it on a new or nearly new car in good condition. Madness not to. Who wants to spend their weekends waxing a car when you could be spending time with the people...

Whatabout whataboutery?

When my wife won our parking appeal it felt anything but pyrrhic. It cost us £12 to have it fought on our behalf by some chap on Facebook and saved us £120. Felt nice to deprive these scumbags of...

Similarly I bought some OSRAM led bulbs and several stopped working or started flashing within a few years. Very disappointing.

Government needs to sort these thieving scum bags out.

Yep, worth pointing out that old uPVC windows have issues too. In our last house the frames had bowed creating gaps around the opening windows which let in drafts. It's the same in many older houses.

Solar panels on the roof are permitted development so unless you live in a listed building or similar it doesn't matter if your neighbors are inside or outside.

UPVC outsold aluminium because it's cheaper, not because it's better.

If you are not in during the day then a battery allows you to use the energy you have generated. I think at present they might be around neutral financially. I'm an looking at that potential cost a...

So we're still trotting out 1980s pub expert opinions as fact in 2022?

Jeremy. Payback on the quotes i have had estimate 9 years for 12 panels and a 5kwh battery with consumption around 3000kwh/yr. I expect battery prices to fall over those years so will go for a...

Thanks, good to know it has worked for you.

Hello, in our children's bathroom we have a small, 760mm square shower in an alcove, ie 3 tiled
stud walls with a glass door. We'd like to replace it with a longer 760x900 or 1000 tray and...

I am a clinical psychologist. I think CBT is a great fit for some people but not for everyone. Similarly, not all practitioners of any therapy are equally skilled. The critical thing is that the...

Nice to see the government have taken action to help.

I think panel prices have gone up globally but i cannot see that they've gone up more than 50%. You do wonder if you're being taken for a mug.

Just received a new quote from solartogether, the panel prices are up 65% from last year (£308/panel to around 510). What the heck? That's the solar installation plan cancelled for this year.

New twine for your belt sir or 'upcycled'?

I'm sorry, jurisprudence gave me some funny ideas about how the law is structured.

Missing the point really which was proportionality. Is it proportionate for an automated system to apply a penalty when a rule has been breached when it's unlikely a reasonable person would wish to...

No, I'd like sensible and fair appeals processes to deal with reasonable excuses to strict liability, e.g. as we discussed previously moving through a red light or into a bus lane to allow an...

"Absolutes" or strict liability ought to be reserved for safety critical rules and infractions. Proportionality is the guiding principle.

Thanks. Three batteries eh, you must be nearly off the grid?

I'm also in the flatlands of Cambridgeshire and considering solar together. Did you get quotes from other installers for comparison and did you get a battery in your installation?

These are security screws that are intended to only turn one direction so that they can't be removed by thieves from the exterior. Treat them as a stripped head screw and remove with vise grips,...
