I keep getting stuck with three granddaughters (2 of whom are noisy and the oldest communicates with grunts, sarcastic stares and the occasional "Whatever")

So a teenager, sympathise.

Can't sleep with the aircon on but I do put the ceiling fan on

Much prefer the ceiling fan, £100 well spent.

Why not just wear a damp cotton shirt instead?

WE always sleep with fans on as well to block out all other noise. Kids can suffer the noise - tough luck.

I bought a couple of portable AC units, they arrived this morning. Much cooler upstairs now. My office is still 27C so I may have to pinch one back. They were a business expense after all

Who needs windmills, just move to Germany...

Unfortunately the German manufacturer of these solar panels has just gone bankrupt. driven to it by their chinese competition

And by the way, they are Wind Turbines Not Windmills;

Even Wikipedia have made that mistake

Most of that .3% is from the few offshore farms. they are rarely idle so do get to feed in because of mopre accurate prediction .............................Why am I bothering
I get paid rediculous ammounts to ensure these offshore projects go in safely and cost effectively. My job will be there until I retire

rarely idle ???


they had better not if their output is going to increase by 100x in seven years.

and my @rse is a cream bun.

biggest scam in the history of scamdom. I dont mind if you pay your fair whack, but you dont. Subsidies dont make it cheap, they just shift the cost to someone else, usually those that cant afford it. and today the proportion of energy to the grid is down to 0.3%

and these eco loons are telling everyone wind will be providing 30% in a little over seven years time.

madness.

the economics of the madness house.

diver, take that big bubble off your ead, and go and switch the air con off till next winter, when the wind starts blowing again

We fitted aircon a couple of years ago. Used it 2 nights this year and about 7 nights since we installed it.

Nice to go to bed in a cool room though
