When we had a scheduled power outage for work on the cables in the street, I ran the fridge/freezer, kettle, air frier, microwave (not all at the same time), router, computer, TV and freeview box. Just make sure you use the high power devices one at a time.

Took my NHS pension at 60, which was 8 years ago now. "What are you going to do?" friends and colleagues asked. "As little as her indoors will let me get away with," was my reply. I then redecorated the house. I already volunteered at a hedgehog rescue centre, so I had an interest. I started...

Maybe get it done with a service, that's what I did, or come and spend a day as a tourist in Bath (again, that's what I did :LOL:)

I've been driving EV's for 7 years now and loved every day of it. This week I had to hire a van for my offsprings house move and hated it. I asked the young lady if Enterprise had any electric vans in their fleet. She said they had a few but people didn't like them because of the range. I did...

I have a 2022 ZS LR also, and my local MG dealer wanted to charge me for the Tesla update, even when I was already paying for a service. I had the nexr service done 30 miles away in Bath and they did it for free. My advice , , , contact dealers within your local area and ask if they do the...

For one room, try a free standing infra red panel. Cheaper to run than a fan heater.

Ah, you can see why he wanted to make Canada the 51st state then. Tango Man is obsessed with fossil fuels. Oh, and don't forget Greenland . . . Nothing to do with threats from Russia or China, and everything to do with the massive untapped resources which would cause environmental disaster to...

As Robert Llewellyn points out in a recent podcast with Dan Ceasar, Tango Man thought that ousting the Iranian regime would be as easy as it was ousting the Venezualan regime. Hasn't quite worked out like that though.

I think it was Matt at the "Undecided" channel who did a video on balcony solar. A great idea for people living in rented apartments, or even rented houses, you could hang them on a fence. Edit: Found it.

Those two are giving blondes a bad name.

Pretty easy to do if you have an order book and know how much you are going to sell. :)

On an episode of Mythbusters, they put filtered, used cooking oil in a deisel truck without any modifications and it ran fine.
