Not going to wade into UK politics ... But the Chancellor has a duty to stand up against a PM . It's why the rooms are next door. "It's not me Guv" , is not acceptable in the 2 Nd highest elected office.

I had occasion maybe 16 years ago to visit a FHS college near Hannover and went off on a day trip with the Department Head on a few trips to small industry and one of the huge trade shows. What I found exhilarating and on another level worrying, because we would not really be able to compete...

Even simpler is to include the first two years average subscription as part of the purchase price. Then an adjustment can be made at the annual MOTs.

I suspect that is the case. But I would query why they are even doing this charade. In every job in the Public Service I either interviewed for or was an interviewer on resulted in a short list of candidates. If the first choice declined, or left the post within a few months, the second...

I would see that as logical.. as would the obvious one of having a potential candidate being voted for by a majority in Parliament. So Charles could Very reasonably require that this candidate, the first of his reign DEMONSTRATEs that they have majority support. The mechanism by which Truss was...

I suspect 100% of Labour supporters hope she will stay in place until a General Election.

Happy to see no strings attached, ..those lads have to be very well bolted down, with expensive customised fittings... But seriously they should limit them to say 5 panels per household. . It is better that any limited supply be dispersed anf the 5 panels would give 1.2 Kw peak.

Was this question directed at me?. If so the answer is not yet. Regulations were enacted by the Dail ..Irish parliament , last March , requiring that payment be made. In the case of people who have smart meters, that has been implemented, but as I don't yet have one , not yet. However an...

Seriously ?. 80 pence?. I am thinking that our costs at 43 cents are high and 26 cents at night. Solar panels ..are a no brainer any more.

You might think so.. but it does work out better, because the temperature lift per heat pump is smaller . Eg. If you had one trying to bring 3 Celsius to 45 Celsius, in a single step consumes more energy than going 3 to 20 and then 20 to 45 . The engineering of the refrigerant gases also means...

I know that machine from Leroy Merlin. It uses the typical indoor temperature of 20+ to heat the water to a higher temperature . . As you know SAUTER is a well established brand of quality . There is a systematic problem with French hot water boilers. .. the cylinder is made of mild...

I did a little research on this topic back about 3 years ago, and it is actually rather complicated. The pedelec rules regarding power assisted speed is very simple ..eg 25km.hr and no assistance beyond that. But the motor is a different beast. It is not feasible or desirable to put into...

Your democracy only allows it to continue, because your MPs are spineless. I remain puzzled as to why a PM is selected without election. In other countries , including my own, any candidate for PM gets elected by the House ... In other words , the Parties or factions in the Parliament propose...

I got a set of electet headphones from Amazon coming up to two years ago. Unfortunately they didn't really fit my skull or ears or something, and were dragging on my ears. Anyway, I found an operation called vesperaudio who made custom hear pads.. I think they were 50 euro.. which was high...

Better than Starbucks .. that's damning with faint praise. I dislike both and if required to drink something in Costa ,I will break out and get drinking chocolate. We have a chain here in Ireland called Insomnia , they usually are a small counter inside say a newsagents, and I like their...

I hope you were more adventurous then than the family we met decades ago in a very nice campsite in I think Devon. There were two older people with a spick and span outfit ,with a table cloth held down on matching clamps ,and then matching high quality melamine dinner services, and we in our...
