@chadpbyrne@Donosully1O@sseairtricity Regardless of the usage issue, the rate per unit is awful high, I'm paying 24.8 cent with bord gais. Pays to move around every 12 months, 10 min call to whomever. Loyalty means zilch anymore
@finburke1@BobFlavin Last grower stopped in 2022 after steep rise in energy. There are some smaller market gardener/ farm market scale growers but peppers are slow to grow and like heat.
@finburke1@BobFlavin No pepper growers of scale left in ireland. 1 grower of chilli's that I know of. Imports are cheaper.
Fert was up before war and went up further. Shortages may be seen in out of season imports but europe won't be going hungry
@finburke1@BobFlavin This spring the issue was bad weather not drought. There won't be shortages as we are coming into irish production season for fruits and veg. Food service would be harder to find Irish produce than supermarkets
@AnnaVanAwesome I'd take a guess and say it's the sheer volume that use the channel over and back to France. More bodies to split the costs on. Then it's shorter journey time so more trips per day.
@SteveNomadic Why has the ULCC model failed in the USA? Ryanair (love em or loath em)are one of the largest airlines in the world on this model. They can get you around Europe for less than 50euros (once you follow their rules). Is it purely cultural differences?
@1noeloconnor@LeoForde As far as I'm aware control procedure for firelight is complete removal and burning of affected materials at owners expense. Or at least that's how nurseries are to deal with it.
@CarthyRobbie@MadTaoiseach Not picking a side but once the tractor is capable of driving over 50km/hr it's allowed on motorways. But pissing off the ordinary worker thats trying to survive isn't going to win favour
Yesterday, my brother called me from the Netherlands, and as I was talking to him, a white lady told me to "speak English," so I turned to her and, as harshly as I could, I said in perfect English, "What the fuck did you just say to me?" I swear I saw her soul leave her body😂😂.
