What a stickler for accuracy! - and how petty!

Do you feel this most valuable post of yours alters the point being made about profit margins?

Well I believe it's quite relevant, if it was 6 weeks before the FiT actually dropped in march 2012 then at £20k someone would have been seriously lifting pinnks leg as Martyn quite rightly points out prices had dropped quite considerably by then.

ooo, err umm....

I was referring to 6 weeks before the December date, not that I thought my post would trigger world war three :eek::eek: I was only trying to question what might happen once the new FIT is place:)

Thank you,


My opposition to the system of FIT makes it imperative for a narrow minded clique on this Board to personally attack whenever possible.


Never mind the relevance to the subject,(which was profit margins) Cardew was inaccurate by 3 weeks on a date in 2011. So that merits a post and a couple of 'thanks' for that post.


Pathetic!

pinnks

And for the avoidance of doubt, I wasn't apportioning blame either.

Am I narrow minded for pointing out that your dates are incorrect?
Am I narrow minded for taking advantage of a generous scheme proposed by the government?

No probs mate, I was just trying to clarify things.

Unfortunately you'll find in many discussions and particularly newspaper comments, folk claiming that install costs halved immediately after FiT reductions, when the truth is that the FiT had to be cut to prevent a rush of installs, and the rush was caused each time by an overly high ROI, which itself was caused by rapidly falling prices.

As you are probably aware by now, there is an awful lot of anti PV and anti FiT propaganda out their, and whilst it can't be stopped, it should at least be addressed.

All the best.

Mart.

Question 1 - yes you are - you know full well that it had no relevance to the point being made. It was a childish personal attack.


Question 2 If you bother to read my posts over the past 5+ years, I have never criticised anyone - including Rent - A - Roof firms - who take advantage of the stupid(IMO) FIT scheme.

For anyone viewing this thread now it seems that MFW's image is now missing from his previous post and my comment below was in response to his post including the 'fat pig banker smoking a cigar ' image.

That post now includes the 'explanation' "Last edited by MSE ForumTeam3; Yesterday at 11:21 PM.. Reason: Copyright"

It would appear that our mentors are accusing our super-ethical chum of intellectual property theft ! Oh surely not ?

It wasn't a personal attack,it was a factual post rectifying your mistake(backed up with links)

Were you not trying to work out costs and profits for an install?
Do you not agree that a difference of £12k for an install within the same FiT bracket is of any relevance?
I don't believe panel prices reduced that much by march 2012 and as such some one may have been taking the P with the quote given(as I stated in another post).
It wasn't until it became known after pinnks post clarifying the timescales that it was indeed before the first attempt by the government to reduce the FiT before Dec 11

Well I never, you have at last got it! Yes, I was commenting on costs and profits of an install.

However it was pinnks, not I, gave the figure of £20,000 at a time 6 weeks before the drastic drop in FIT. It was his post I quoted.

Your triumphant post, that merited thanks from your cronies, completely missed the point about cost and profits, as you saw an opportunity to 'have a go' at Cardew as he was a few weeks out on dates.
Let me remind you of your 'non- personal' post.

No it wasn't!

Try the original date of 12/12/11 which was then contested and changed to 3/3/12

For somebody that tirelessly carps on about the FiT and how "unfair" it is I'd have thought even you would at least post the correct dates

I say again, a pathetic post and has been followed an even more pathetic attempts to justify yourself. Try and do better next time!
