    Suspect you might mean 'pedantry' :D

    (We pedants can't let that sort of thing pass unnoticed)

    Thanks, that's made my morning already. I love this kind of humour.

    Misdirection is fun too, such as 'he opened the door in his pyjamas, strange place to have a door'. I particularly like double entendres. Let me know if you like em too, and I'll give you one.

    Poor day yesterday, barely an O.

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
