Oh, it seems you have been spying on my wife and I? When every I get rid of stuff, the space is then filled with my wife's stuff. As to use of sockets, multi adaptor into multi adaptor, total use even with AC running 878 watts, so no great load, but I look at socket outlet to my right in living...

It seems if travel starts or finishes in Wales you can use the pass, so I could go Mold to Ellesmere Port OK. And the return no one could stop me getting off at Outlet Village, although I should have paid, then Outlet Village later back to Mold, but could not do the trip in reverse. It seems...

I completed my wife's application for a bus pass today. Main reason is there is a circular bus around local town Welshpool, so she can part in a free car park and use the bus to get into town. But it prompted me to look at going further, like to visit son or daughter in north wales, travel time...

I made a crystal set as a lad, the unit needed a high impedance earpiece and in latter years their supply seems to have dried up. I had not realised it was long wave, it could have been medium wave, but we lost the ability to listen to radio hams due to use of sideband, and VHF due to use of FM...

The flat under main house is in the shade of trees, so it gets sun latter, and rear is below ground level, it was originally a very large double garage. You can see that from width of doors openings. It is warmer in winter and cooler in summer, but it is our guest room, and only really used...

A cellar would be even better, with it all being below ground level. But the half-and-half means we still have windows. It was originally a garage.

Drayton Wiser works that way, so no reason Tado should not do the same. However, there are a few drawbacks. (1) You don't want to measure temperature where the outside temperature can adversely affect the readings, so better if the TRV is next to an internal wall. If not it may fire boiler...

The flat is built into the side of the hill we live on, and is like a cave, no AC.

My thermostat built into the immersion heater seems to turn on around once every three hours, and for a very short time.

Well it seems here it is over was but now AC off room gone up to 28.1°C but still feels cooler with windows open than with AC on.

Where vehicles have hit power lines, the tyres always seem to blow out.

But that was a couple of hours ago, the AC is now off, and the temperature in living room has gone up to 28°C, but now enough wind to mean temperature now OK.

Thank you, please give us the results. There has been a debate for some time gas - electric, problem is with gas there is always waste, and no clear answer, using logic there must be as water use increases, a neutral point where both cost the same, low use electric wins, high use gas wins. But...

We find sleepers can need replacing in 5 years, 25 years, or even 50 years, and not a clue why some rot and others don't, all ours covered in coke oven waste, which clearly no longer available as no coke ovens any more. So moving to plastic, they say they will last 100 years, once changed we use...

Climate change has always gone on, as far back in time as we can detect, there have been ice ages etc. What is important is if mankind is changing it. Since we kill animals to eat, and they emit CO2, eating meat must help the planet, unless to eat that meat we protect animals from other...

Your lucky, here 33ºC outside, 29.6ºC in bedroom no AC, and 26.5ºC in living room AC running.

It still works, room without AC 29.4ºC outside 33.2ºC and room with AC 26.8ºC the temperature has reduced. It is using 756 watts, rating plate says 755 watts, but as to how well it works, I have no way to measure.

Seem to remember there is graphite in the material used to make tyres so they will allow static to return to earth and stop the static build up, same with wellingtons, they will not isolate you from the ground. When the graphite was put in the tyres, there was no need any longer to have graphite...

My vent must be around 20 foot at least, had the AC at least 3 years now, once the chimney gets warm, thermals clearly help the hot air to rise, and it allows me to have all windows closed, been like that for at least 3 years, so assume chimney must be at least 20 foot tall. And it has worked...

My immersion heater has a thermostat, so when water to temperature it turns off, OK my immersion heater also controlled by an iboost+ which means it only runs when we have excess solar power, and it can use just a 100 watt so run time means nothing, however the iboost+ also tells me how much it...
