Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

I think that the Daily Mail is reporting today from a parallel universe with people heading to Brighton Beach. The weather here at the centre of England is dreadful. At 18:00 it is dark with heavy rain. Windy all day. Generated 10.6 kWh, 2.80 O, which is surprising in the circumstances.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0

Cheers guys,
I did try looking back through the thread to find out ...... I even tried google !
So the point is that it's a way of comparing generation that levels out the difference between people's system sizes ?
The Hawaii 50 ( book em Danno ) I get now .
If in doubt ask I always say.
Nobby.
Hiya nobby, yep just silly fun, and a way to compare your system's performance on a given day to that of another, anywhere in the world on a size for size basis.
Nicknames in use so far:
2 O's is a Bond (double O agent!)
3 O's is a Typhooo
4 O's is a Wink (40 winks)
5 O's is a Hawaii (Hawaii 5O)
6 O's Don't think we've got a 6 O nickname yet - any suggestions?
7 O's - I don't care, coz my system won't hit one, so I don't want to play anymore.
