  1. No, that graphic is taken directly from the spot trading site yesterday. The figures are directly comparible.
  2. So, to be clear, the only currently reported benefit of Brexit is that Australia can now build nuclear submarines using US nuclear propulsion technology. Didn't read that in the Leave.EU propaganda.
  3. The £400 price was the "day ahead" spot market price; https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-13/u-k-power-prices-hit-record-as-outages-low-winds-cut-supply "Electricity prices soared to a record in Britain as a period of still weather is curbing wind power, exposing the U.K.’s reliance on intermittent renewables. U.K. power for next day exceed 400 pounds ($553) a megawatt-hour at an auction on Monday, an all-time high. Wind generation is currently below normal, accounting for about 11% of all the electricity entering the grid. That’s leaving the market exposed to swings at a time five nuclear units are offline." Currently UK spot price is between £250 and £280 per MWh, European prices are around €150-€170 per MWh
  4. They only ever seem to show one angle, the one that is most likely to overturn the decision. How many time has a ref reviewed something and stuck with the original conclusion ?
  5. Coating
  6. Former pro rider Chris Anker Sorensen has been killed whilst riding in Belgium, where he was to commentate on the World Championships next week for Danish TV. He was knocked off his bike by a van driver. He had just turned 37. RIP
  7. But we got our country back, and we are well out of a bloated and sclerotic institution that is about to collapse into anarchy as the failure of Deutsche Bank brings down the Euro zone.
  8. MOTD analysis; definite penalty but not a red card for Walker. Jermaine Jenas said they thought that the ref was invited to the pitchside monitor to review and negate the red card, not the whole decision.
  9. My City supporting wife has just told me to stop crowing about the result and complaining about the ref.
  10. They did their level best to make the 'correct' decision.
  11. He has picked Redders so that Pep can give him some more coaching.
  12. The new CB - Lyanco the Gorilla.
  13. Saving our best team for Sheff Utd.
  14. At least that's today's disappointing performance, Citeh is a free hit.
  15. Should stick to playing striker for Burnley.
  16. Threw that away.
  17. From 84:5 after 14 overs to finish on 150 is quite a turn around. At least there's something to defend.
  18. They tried with the Green Homes scheme, but like almost all plans from the shower in power it was badly planned and ineptly managed, so it was scrapped earlier this year. We tried to apply for one of the vouchers but didn't qualify because our house isn't listed at the Land Registry, so the people running the scheme said that they could not verify that we owned the house. Apart from the fact we have all our old mortgage papers, are in possession of the property deeds, ( copies of all this was requested and submitted with the application), and registration at the registry has only been compulsory for houses built since the 1970s, ( ours was built in 1936), unless we paid for the registration the application could not be processed. It took 4 months for them to inform us of the issue regarding the LR, by which time they had pulled the plug on the whole scheme. Not only that, but firms doing the installations found that actually getting the relevant documentation released by the Government department was nigh on impossible, and as for getting the money for redeemed vouchers - tough.
  19. Personally I would park at my son's house and go 3 stops on the tram. 😉
  20. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-58600723 "Scientists recently confirmed that to avoid the worst impacts of hotter conditions, global carbon emissions needed to be cut by 45% by 2030" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58600583 "Meat processors are in talks with the government over a shortage of carbon dioxide that could hit meat production"
  21. Pissed off that the US and UK are helping Australia build nuclear powered submarines, which has led to Australia cancelling a contract for conventionally powered submarines they had with France.
  22. Having not started until tea time.
  23. This is the market square in Poulton le Fylde, the nearest town to our village;
  24. Bloody hell, I need to lie down. I agree with GM.
  25. How much of the World trades in metric ? All of it bar the US, Liberia, and Myanmar. How much of our industry and packaging infrastructure is going to retool for such a change, and who would pay ? Is this yet another Brexit "benefit" that will hit us in our pockets ?
