What! They don't just magically save you money on electricity bills? I've been duped!

I'm afraid I don't have the balls to try.

About right, as far as I know. If you Google "permitted development", you should find the low down. In my case, because we're in a conservation area, an area of outstanding natural beauty, and I wanted the shed in the paddock, which is designated agricultural land, I had to do a full planning...

Our tenants are great. Indian. She works for the NHS, he has landed a job with one of the largest and most philanthropic companies in the area. You won't read about tenants like them in the papers or hear anecdotes from neighbours etc. because it's generally only the bad stuff that gets the...

Does that work? I've never tried it with test icicles, obviously, but with hard boiled eggs, the flame has to be in the bottle, so as to burn up the oxygen. A naked flame outside the bottle would surely just heat the air inside, causing it to expand. I suppose if you waited until the bottle...

That would involve two separate circuits. I do have 24v LED lights in my solar powered shed, but to be honest, I never use them. Can you get low voltage tumble dryers or induction hobs? I doubt it, but if you can they'll be made in such tiny numbers as to make them super expensive. Added to...

That's great. How it should be, IMO.

Same here. You can ask questions, but there's always a charge. I'm lucky in that one of my neighbours does the planning apps for several people in the village, and his daughter used to work for the planning dept. ,so was able to get some free advice.

I get the impression that Jacob improvised, while not have his usual space/facilities. I have to say that it wouldn't have occurred to me, but I can see how it would be useful in a pinch. I could never do it myself, as my bench, although it has a well, is usually three layers deep in carp.

Winter fool allowance.

I poisoned mine.

Is it a joke? From the perspective of the rich, I've no doubt they laughed all the way to the bank.

Out of their own pockets.

Ok, just reread your post, if you measured the adjacent one, also with no load, ignore my post.

How are you measuring the volts? Some of the electronic "transformers" are quite tricky to measure under no load conditions. Have you tried a new lamp first, before deciding it's the transformer?

I have tried it with and without.

I I do the greaseproof paper/Dutch oven(Le creuset casserole) thing from time to time, but the lazy person in me loves the bread maker approach. Sourdough? I can get the culture going with no problem, I never get the oven spring. I could bake perfect serviceable discuses, if there was a bread...

I buy Malthouse Light flour from Shipton Mill 16kg for £14.00. 3 cups flour, 1.5 cups water, 1/2 TSP yeast, 1/2 TSP salt. In the breadmaker, wholewheat rapid setting, ready in 3 hours. I do, however, like my bread like I like my women. Dark and dense.

There was an episode of Frasier where somebody (Daphne, I think) had gained a lot of weight and, have fallen over, was helped up by Frasier, Niles and Martin, with one of them remarking that it had taken three Cranes to lift her. I wondered briefly if the whole show had been building towards...
