    Please don't let me forecast weather, it is overcast and certainly nothing like Metcheck said it would be! Lying b'stards :mad:

    The last few days here have been bitterly cold until after lunch and really windy.

    Nice! checked my inverter y'day. Four heaven's in a row but alas no Cigar - I think the 8 O's or 32Kw/h whilst theoretically possible is just outside of reality with my setup. It's only 15 degrees off South but probably means someone else could get 8 O's if they had almost an exact South facing roof.
