@Zumo_FairCity@ray_cun We found the clothes dryer and oven were the worst culprits. Getting a heat pump dryer and being v careful with oven made a difference. We use 6K KW for a 7/8 person house
@BrianCVC My memory is, while it was local, it was also awful. I remember as a kid being in awe of the selection and quality at a French supermarket. I certainly don't want to go back.
Is it normal in the service sector to expect casual labour to do unpaid trials or onsite training that’s only paid if you stay X weeks. I always thought this was exploitation.
Big day for all at @TeamEdgetier as we announce our €6m Series A fundraise today from @smedvigcapital @ActVC and @Episode1VC. We're seeing huge appetite for our conversational insights products across multiple industries - exciting times ahead! #startup https://t.co/B9UN3CmKM8
@realBobbyHealy@donalodonovan@stephenkinsella I suspect it's the lack of competition at the generation end rather than the consumer end. This combined with being super reliant on gas results in high wholesale rates - by European standard we are still very fossil fuel centric. Download electricity maps for some useful info
@kenbone44 That makes sense re serving but unless servicing is mandatory I'd wouldn't like to see a heat pump installed on my boundary beside a window. Neighbour disputes can be a nightmare
@kenbone44 I'm not an expert on heat pumps but don't most fans, compressors etc get noisier with age and even a heat pump that is quiet today potentially a nuisance tomorrow if too close to boundary?
@tomasmcguinness I use a simple rule of thumb. Imbedded energy = cost / Kwh cost for me. So if something cost €100 and energy cost me €0.4 a KwH then I assume there is 250KW of embedded energy
