Hooray! my joint gas and electricity direct debit reduces from £99 to £62/month for 6 months, starting in September.
Ironically, September is often when my spending on energy goes up, lasting right through until May. Every summer I switch off my boiler, and just use the immersion heater in short bursts. Half an hour on will give me 24 hour's worth, sufficient hot water for the usual necessities, and I only use the electric cooker on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays to boil an egg for breakfast, and on Friday to cook fish for supper. Next March the charge will go back up again after I've sent in my readings.

.......More than that, I had an email today from an organisation I've never heard of informing me that I have been ranked 7712 out of about 50.000 amateur radio contesters world-wide, up 102 from last year! Howz about that then?Last edited by Quarky; 05-08-20, 15:53.

Congratulations to the Scottish First Minister for not only reminding soccer players and administrators that they're subject to the same constraints as the rest of us but also telling - not asking - them to postpone certain matches and threatening more comprehensive action if they continue to ignore the rules.

Here is some potentially good news regarding aluminium production - https://grist.org/energy/apples-low-...e-game-changer
If this works, it could help to reduce the effects of CO2 emissions in production, and thus lower the environmental impact and climate effects.
