    Thought we would post cos we need more wooden spoons. They are always useful as kindling to start one of our stoves or for stirring baked beans.

    0.7 O's enough said.
    Was thinking of expanding my solar panels to my East facing roof - but with the current FIT rates(effective from Feb2016) - its not even worth thinking. There will not be any breakeven - only saving will be - reduced leccy consumption (which in 20 yrs might be from the white elephant - Hinckley point)
