LMSC £7.5K for the mega flow - you may as well if you are opening the floor. This cost was before Covid.
All new pipe works and radiators.
Can’t have a megaflow, I have 3 thermostatically controlled pumped showers….which would be thousands down the drain. I am hoping the fruitcake idea of net zero and banning gas boilers gets dumped…madness.
Cuprajake I watched it despite disliking James O’Tvvat immensely. Fortunately Martin didn’t give him a chance to speak.
I was just thinking about commercial energy prices, the amount that pub has been quoted, It might actually be cheaper to get a big commercial quiet run generator and power from that…. Those ones that look like half a caravan on a towed trailer. Make hardly any noise.
Diesel usage is astronomical for large generators. The big commercial ones use around 100 litres per hour.
Well, having spent a few days thinking abound it, yesterday I ordered one of these

The big advantages are:
We have no flue so covers that
Instant heat if we have power cuts
100% burn efficiency
We have a fixed rate of 4.38 on gas so even running on full which is unlikely, the cost is 15.3p per hour @3.5 kw output. We have 3 radiators in the room we sit in. We can turn them down to 1, turn the heating off during the day on 4 of the other 5 rads and at night to take the chill off the part of the house we are going to sleep in put the heating on as needed. That sounds a bit vague but until it is fitted we will not actually know. Once fitted I will cover costs etc
dfk41 We will need photos and videos of it working, or it didn’t happen….you can show off the remote control as well.
£700M nuclear plant commitment in Suffolk days before stepping down. He could have done that earlier!

That’s ridiculous!!
I’m no fan of Tony Blair, but he warned about this in 2006/7. he foresaw this type of crisis and wanted Nuclear to become 40% of the UK energy mix, together with renewables.

The judge is now Sir Jeremy, we are busy blaming the current government, when actually we need to look hard at the hidden forces that worked to deny us Nuclear power. We wouldn’t have had this problem had the courts not decided how our country should be run. Later various groups many funded by fossil fuel companies and Nick Clegg ensured we wouldn’t have much nuclear, if any.
……hence todays mess
I often hear the green lobby trotting out fusion power…trust me it won’t be in our lifetimes, or our kids lifetimes, if ever!
P.S. Fossil fuel funds green energy and anti nuclear, because they know green energy absolutely ensures we have to continue using fossil fuels whilst twisting things to pretend we’re net zero.
I just had one positive thought about winter coming and energy prices. We’re all probably a bit wary of running our coffee machines in the summer, and they only make the house warmer which we don’t want, all that energy is effectively wasted. Of course in winter we want the house to be warmer so leaving our coffee machine on all day is not the problem it is in summer, all that heat energy transfers back into the house where it’s actually wanted.
Something positive to think about him otherwise horrible energy situation.
That’s the good thing about the cold days, the efficiency of many appliances becomes less relevant (unless the produce things like hot water which goes down the drain while it’s above freezing)
£170 B rescue plan to freeze energy prices cap is being prepared! Hmm…costing, credibility and the how aspects are to be worked out. The fiscal deficit / open-market operations is the obvious route.
With a promise to roll back the NI hikes, I am thinking if a long-dated bond offering to the rich businesses, the fund managers and the public is an attractive option. 🤔
I’m wondering what this means for my fixed-rate, should I actually bin it and go back to the price cap? Will they let us down, u turn in three months and bung up the prices?
till jan i have read… but then till 2024 so dunno

It’s all up in the air. I think Oct rise is done and dusted. I doubt the government will cap at current levels, although I think they should.
As far as the sustainability of this measures is concerned, it rests crucially on the chances of a snap election and the outcome of it. I would expect a snap election early next year, if the year end is not possible.

I actually think they would be very stupid to go for a snap election. Mind you perhaps they will believe their own sizzle just like Theresa May did….and that didn’t work out so well. One benefit of an 80 seat majority, they can push policies through. A coalition won’t do anything. As far as the energy issues, there’s a lot needs doing… especially getting rid of net 0 and the banning of petrol vehicles.
