    YouTubers.

    I just came across Bryson on youtube. I 'hate' that guy, but he makes himself likeable on there. That 20 minutes video was great. I am not yet subscribing. Yet. But the question of best youtube golfer has been settled. This guys knows more stuff than Shields and Finch and Crossfield, ...

    YouTubers.

    Aren't they basically Colin Thistle out of Love Actually? I have a friend from Leeds who lives in NYC. His daughter says all her friends think he talks posh, like the Queen.

    Bad Advice

    Really depends on who gives it. If you get pared with a scratch golfer and he says he would lay up then I would do it too. If there is a hacker like me saying I moved my head then I friendly say thanks but ignore it.

    Solar panels , would you ?

    This might be a weird question, but next road down about 15 houses got new roofs and all have these hooks on there, north and south. Is that a mass solar install?

    Solar panels , would you ?

    Pretty much the same. load: 804 kWh -> £236 this is what I would have paid at base rates net import: 191 kWh for £42 (and falling) saving: 613 kWh for £194 generation: 665 kwH, and at 29p that gives me the same numbers as the savings are. Somewhere at my tariff on flux and avoiding peak...

    Solar panels , would you ?

    My savings are pretty much on generation x basic rate. We sell and buy at about 15p, but generation times 29p is the amount that matches my savings. With some rounding and tariff changes for the last 2 weeks. That's on flux. Might be different when imo]orting at go values.

    Solar panels , would you ?

    I think with current tariffs, import and export, the usage is largely irrelevant a just production is telling us when we made the money back? We don't generate 'free energy', we generate at the export rate which we either export, or use. So it all falls out of the equation and we are left with...

    Laughter - the best medicine

    It was a knock knock joke, most to expect is a groan, I think.

    Solar panels , would you ?

    How is this for a month of energy? Being away for 7 days helped. Edit says they slotted in a halfway step into the billing time frame, there is a 2nd part. Not quite 0 yet for mid March to mid April

    Is that end of warranty?

    Solar panels , would you ?

    We are good this week, but it helps not being at home and not consuming anything outside off base load. We are importing about 1.8 each night to top up the battery, then exporting from 9am to 5pm.

    The all things EV chat thread

    But mine only has 37000 miles. I don’t drive a lot, it is a convenience thin. We just did London to Weymouth, biggest mile of the year to date. When we go back we doubled what we did for the year to date. But we need a car to go shopping, getting the little one around, … the regular short and...

    The all things EV chat thread

    I think we are only now in, or getting into the state, where 2nd hand EV is a viable option? My Focus is on the way out, over 16 years old now ( one not so careful owner ) and while a couple of years ago I looked at Hyundai Tucson to replace it I think once it goes it will be an EV now. Going...

    The one thing that has dropped more than the price of a Fisker is the share price of Fisker. One might be buying a car that is not supported and under warranty at any moment. Shame, I like the Fisker. Elon said in an interview that any new car maker will have an uphill battle because...
