    2.16 O's today. I'm sure the narrow band of cloud was purposely lining itself up to block the sun from my panels. Need 2.38 a day to make estimate so looks unlikely. The most interesting thing for me today was to see my 20% panels outperform my 35% at midday which hasn't happened before

    I think 'potato' was suggested for 8 O's, but can't remember if anyone has managed one yet.
    How about 'a NATO' as it's phonetically similar to "an eight O"?

    Anyway, back to no-nonsense kWhs, of which I got 14.15 yesterday and 12.4 today.
    People near me who are expecting sunny intervals until noon tomorrow then cloud all afternoon as per the graphics here http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ng18 should play the Forecast Video on the right from 65 seconds in.
