Da, comrade. Nastrovya :wink: Can just see those Winter Siberian breaks really taking off :lol:

Could've sworn my AA card was for me as the driver of any vehicle :? (don't know if it extends to bikes?) Could call them on the breakdown freephone to find out?

You not got an AA card then? A bike would be covered on it, right? Good luck, Poshman.

Joe, what do you reckon the energy payback period for solar panels in this country is at present?

But surely, if at present the payback period for solar panels in this country is ten years say...after that (if the panels last :? ) any energy produced is energy over and above that which was used to produce the panels in the first place? Is this not the case, Joe? Now, if technology...

Aha...thanks for taking the time to explain John. Even if some think nothing will happen, its interesting to learn more at the very least. Surely it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a fraction of the energy of the sun could be harnessed, at least in equatorial regions more, to...

Very interesting JohnD. :D Excuse my ignorance, but does this mean that a field of rape or whatever could potentially be used as a fuel without affecting the ozone in doing so? Which way do you reckon we should go with r&d if they really decided to get their fingers out...solar, wind...

I agree with most of what you say, Oilman, but regarding this government you appear even more cynical than me :shock: :wink: Not just a question of global warming, we need the fuel....carbon fuels are not an endless resource. So you appear to be saying that non-nuclear non-carbon fuels are...

I think you'll find you're the only one. Now go sit on the naughty step! :evil:

Sadly, JohnD, you may well be right...I don't know much about the technology and no doubt there'll be enough politicians twisting this issue for their own ends. Something has to be done, though.....genuinely, with a result.

Cheers Markie...you're not wrong :wink:

It's a good thing there's at least going to be some sort of debate about it. I agree that taxing people to try to effect change in their lifestyles isn't the best solution and cynically I think maybe they see this as another revenue stream. With the rest of the world burning the midnight...

Eh? Sufficient leverage? Ah...see what you mean from reading op. Small adjustable spanner oughta get to the nut or, once closed, take off the stopcock cover and use a box spanner if it'll go down to the nut, no? Not clear of the layout of it. It's not a difficult job (famous last...

War and peace'd be shorter...but not as entertaining :wink: Good to hear you had a great time Moz :D

You're quite right :wink: I gots to gets me a edukashen 8)

At the risk of getting embroiled in you boys' debate, I found the last litterbug example quite funny...the guy certainly had his chips. :lol: Without being too authoritarian, I do reckon it'd be good if people were a bit more resonsible, and if they won't do it themselves, then enforced...

Thank you Woody, but I must admit they are not my words...Captain Sensible's :lol: Still, I do second the sentiment, as do I your interpetation of the KISS principle....it's good to have a positive outlook :D

:? Yes...when you're having fun, you mean?....does this anniversary explain the clocks going back :wink:

Sorry to hear about your friend, Hermes. :( I wish him well. :) Not the best way to illustrate it maybe, but it does remind us all of the dangers of ladders. Let's be careful out there.

Read the linked post again...and who BAS was curious about. Now check the recent boycott post...the time of reply of one of its respondents (in relation to dingo's) and his associated posting history and doyle's posting history. Do I gotta spell it all out :shock: 8) There are some posters...
