Ouch just looked down the documents Didn't realise they were hooked into the household potable water mains This is a water company that put hosepipe bans in and asked to draw emergency water from the lake district Yet fracking is drawing 764,000 litres a day out of it - based of average supply that's 2189 houses worth a day Shame the connection to the mains is inside the court order zone...

Just out of curiosity do you have a link to the planning documents

I still cant help but wonder what a simple bow with a few arrows with small petrol bombs on could do to the site... Or a drone that "accidentally" flew in and blocked the drill head Or failing that simply a can of expanding foam down the pipe that pumps the water underground

I'm not sure what I class myself as, I believe in God, I believe in the concept of what a church should be - yet I don't agree with the concept of what the church currently is I'm proud to say I'm not a homophobe or a racist but part of me does support the bakers on this Like they say they had served the customer before and were not against him I agree they were being homophobic in refusing to support gay marriage but that part of me that supports the bakers just keeps saying that it was made illegal to force the straight view on everyone - why should it be legal to force the lgtb view on other people I think they should have been supported to understand it not forced

Just had a look at sweet offerz The one you brought isn't up but the millennium falcon is - not once do they mention it being lego however so I'm not sure how you would prove miss-selling I have to admit I'm surprised it's poor quality bricks as China is so famous for its lego clone that lego sued them It is cheaper elsewhere however (kids got 20 sets of knock of lego from china last year and still haven't realised)

I have to admit my leafs max weight is 1995kg 1550kg unladen - but mine is an older electric car (61 plate but older style) Hightail is right they don't use power when stood still - do enough rush hours to have proved that I think there will be other new types of car but I think they will go alongside electric - I was looking at the map of charging stations at work (forgot to charge overnight - stopped at local pub for a bit) and there's already several hydrogen refill points in the uk The bit that interests me is the current look at 2way chargers for cars - if you get home with extra power it will use that to run your house - it then knows how long the car will take to recharge and has it charged for a time you specify What I would love to see put in is a communal solar scheme, say a street of about 30 houses all with panels on - average solar scheme is 5kwh per house so 150kwh there. Add in a communal battery in the substation say 200kwh (easily build able looking at the 129Mwh one in Australia) I don't think a community scheme like that wouldnt need to draw much from the grid - most people use power at different times so their panels would charge the battery or power other houses, if someone's panels couldn't cover their needs it would draw from the battery The only thing that doesn't seem easy is how to split what is drawn from the grid as there's no easy way (even if you did it on a by house basis how would it deal with someone who drained the battery constantly causing others to use the grid?) There's a few buildings near me I would LOVE to get my hands on, ones an old mill brought by a developer but never developed - think that would be a science park as there's none near us, it has a nature reserve attached, it still has the mill run which would look great with an old wheel running a generator, it's south facing so solar brilliant There's also an abandoned cottage in wales its been urban explored multiple times and is getting delapidated, lake views, 2 bedroom, old coal fire, waterfall in garden (I'm thinking hydro again) and 2 small outbuildings - I'm thinking holiday cottage for rental

I'll admit people can't easily self support now Not sure on the "solar panels aren't worth it though" I had mine in recently so on the currnt feed in tariff not the "unsustainable" one The cost was just over £4,500 My bill for electricity is down anywhere between £60 - £70 a month so far (yes I'm a high user) that's about £700 a year The feed in tariff is sending me about £50 every 3 months (although its more in summer less in winter) They should be paid back in about 5-6 years hopefully The only thing I wish I had done differently is added a battery system to store the excess (you still get paid for exporting 50% of what you make even if you don't export it) Ive self wired a panel system into the summerhouse that's on a controller which stores the excess in a car battery then the lights work off that - if it wasn't for the fact it's too much to self wire I'd be expanding it to the house lights as that's one of my few costs now

Motorway chargers are anywhere between 50kwh and 150kwh Charge time is around 20-30 mins not sure why I would stop over night? Why do they wear road out twice as fast? Just curious as I use the same tyres as everyone else I have solar panels and a 5kw invertor anyway so the invertor isn't an issue and I'm not really straining the network either...

Just wondered really The leaf batteries are coming down in cost is why I wondered plus I saw a written off one a while ago with batteries in going fairly cheap Mines only the 24kwh one so it would only last a day - but on the bright side work has a 22kwh charger now I know their looking at the two way chargers for the car so this was kind of a logical extension idea from that

Here's an interesting theory... nissan has been using the old Nissan leaf batteries to make house batteries... these are around 10kwh they're fairly small, so if you had a large car you could put two lots in the boot, possibly 3 lots if you have a trailer/pickup what if... you had a connector on the house for these batteries, but this was on a cable that reached to your car/trailer what you could do is tow the battery pack to an electric car charge point, and charge the batteries then when you got home you could connect the trailer/car to the house, this would then run off the batteries and only switch to the grid when empty although some charge points charge others are free Our work charger is only 7p/kwh so 3 battery packs would be around 30kwh for a normal house battery, or if you used an old leaf battery 3 packs would be 72kwh thats £2.10 for the 30kwh or £5.04 for the 72kwh - or free if you use other chargers 4.5 hours to charge off a standard charger for the 30kwh or 10 hours for the larger pack if you use one of the 22kwh chargers however its all done in less than an hour according to google the average house uses 4648kwh a year, or just under 13 a day so the 30kwh battery would last around 2 and a 72kwh battery five and half days that would make running the average house only 70p a day or free if you used a free charger even if charged at work that would make a YEARLY electric bill £255 just a thought

I wouldn't trust them, I'm no locksmith but I tapped open the one on the Mil's house (new house she didn't know the code and dint want old owner coming back inside) after 30 seconds of watching a YouTube how to

I think I just found a good reason not to buy a TV from morrisons... All the ones in my local store have this on

Good result It's been nearly 12 months and in the end aviva just dealt with it themselves. It's just been a pain in the bum from one end to the other and because the second accident is waiting to do their part of the payout based on this outcome I've just had enough I have to admit if it wasn't for having to pay fees for cancelling I would have given in ages ago

And as they still haven't replied their pushing for judgment by default Remind me never to go with Lv (other side) Just a mick take really

Postcode near ours got 3mil postcode lottery If we had been in it we would have got 1600 or so Although when I add it up from the monthly fee we would only have been 100 or so ahead and I've had that from scratch cards so no big loss

Thinking I had won a tenner on a scratchcard Then realising the diamond meant win everything on the card and it was a £500 win instead

Checked and this time it's on the right thread Oddly enough your tweet just made it on BBC news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45194337 Look for the link in bold

Anyone else wondering if the op seems more like an essay question than a real one?

And as the other side wouldn't reply they issued court papers last friday

Just been on the beach at tywyn and thought of you tawny - massive piece of driftwood

Well it's throwing it down now Panels seem to do about 10kwh a day in the rain but after just a week it's hard to judge we seem to have used around half our normal power intake most of that being overnight with the electric car Will see how it goes

Dash camera doesn't ensure quick resolution... Ours is still ongoing nearly a year later

Well rain on the day the solar panels were installed Still a bit drier today and so far nearly 20kwh down

I wish I could go beach combing on a regular basis Unfortunately I live nowhere near the sea now but always remember grandma's collection of driftwood in Cleveleys Still have a memory hanging around of her my eldest daughters a zildea named after her

latest from work below one of our Coordinators, has agreed to take on the job of collating all questions from all colleagues about the holiday issues and has committed to getting answers from as far up the corporate HR ladder as it is necessary to go. This will produce a comprehensive FAQ to help all of us. In the interim, the easiest way to think of the new policy is, if you work 4 on and 4 off you should no longer think of your annual leave in days but think of it in hours. Whatever your shift, 4 on 4 off, 5 over 7, 5 over 8 or whatever combination of hours, your contracted hours are 1950 per year, or 37.5 per week. So, whether you work a bank holiday or have the day off, the only hours to be spent or accrued in the legal sense is 7.5 hours. Yes, those of us who would normally work an 11.5-hour day will be losing out on the 4 hours that we had been receiving previously, but remember that those 4 hours were hours that we were not entitled to. The company legal team have told us that the changes must happen to ensure compliance with the law.
