Indeed they have.
Will be required as of the end of the year........however currently a lot of new houses have 2 or 3 panels, which is really just playing lip service.
The Reform party conference has been told that Covid vaccines are the probable cause of cancer for the King and the Princess of Wales The party chose to platform Dr Aseem Malhotra, a prominent ally of RFK Jr in their dangerous maverick campaigns against vaccines www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...
Terrific
Much appreciated Will nudge our installer, have had thermal solar pre-feed to combi gas boiler for past 15 years (brilliantly simple!l) but probably need a different tank when doing heat pump next year, so this might be a solution. Ta.
Will they work with heat pumps and thermal solar?
We have an air b&b three doors up, which comes with hot tub and karaoke.......currently murdering The Pretenders.

Old bastard wants to make the world shit for young people. Again and again.

The Sound Lounge have been measured, constructive and inclusive in the way they have responded to recent events and this is their reward for that approach. Smashed windows, a closed business, frightened staff.

Their tax policy shows they will save ÂŁ50bn by reducing waste, and their detail on that is "...................." Also will save ÂŁ30bn on others things.... Going to save a huge chunk on QE interest, now i don't pretend to understand that, but might just upset Nige's city mates?

Shockingly the main complaint is that it is too popular. Who'd have thunk it. Lovely ride we took Grandpa Peg on there just after it opened. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Are you on too? #TOTP
Sorry missed it! But the big US oil companies been doing it for years, easier with their (lack of) employment rules. In bottom 10% at year end appraisal? Clear your desk (normally security do it, you go straight to the door - can't do any damage)
Tip for the Mail, Telegraph, etc - imagine how you’d report this if this was Angela Rayner
......and then this will be shared with other countries.

How do you heat a city with freezing cold seawater? The answer lies in Esbjerg, Denmark, where one of the world's largest heat pumps is transforming the North Sea into a sustainable energy source.

Recently retired, but especially during and since covid, I have been up for a 5am run, clears the head, and sets me up for the day. Have run through many presentations on Process Safety where only the badgers, deer and red squirrels were my morning audience. However after 9pm.....I'm toast.

As others have pointed out "anarcho-tyranny" is a contradiction in terms. How can a cruel oppressive government impose non existent laws. Allister puts the moron in oxymoron.
Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.
R3form don't want your kids to have lifesaving jags. What a surprise. Also same group don't want you to have clean traffic jam free towns and cities. They also don't believe science and all these extreme weather changes are just natural You want it, they're against it.
I don’t think any piece about Reform’s conference speakers should be published without mentioning that they’ve allowed an anti-vaccine conspiracy group to host a panel. Sadly this story doesn’t flag it
Saw them back in 82 in Camden, supported by Sunglasses After Dark, I was in full goth phase, before I went a bit more psychobilly.........and then became a Process Safety Engineer. Andi SG played Dundee last year I think

Well done to Ed Davey for being the voice of reason over the housing purchase issues.
UK Listen to this. Words of wisdom.
Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"
....all my life.
Thank you Mr R Witter.
Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."
Restaurant word salad.
Plenty going on in the WH.
