@AndyatAuto @Shell_UKLtd In a former life - I did try to harmonise the roll out of charging infrastructure with a standards driven approach - meaning a single account & full simple interoperability… supported by many industry folks.
Unfortunately scuppered by Blair’s government and made worse later!

@jm130tt Come over to Inglewhite John, I have a nice stone wall that needs building!

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

A chancellor who has never run a business and reports to a prime minister who has never run a business and is advised by civil servants who have never run a business - is about to advise business owners how to run a business.

@Stavros6 Such a lovely lady - will be sadly missed by all the NW200 racers/teams both past and present.

@jm130tt Sorry to hear about your Mum, John.
I am sure she was cheering you on.
All best from just up the lane… D

@historyrock_ Led Zeppelin, 100%
Beatles a fair second.
Metallica and U2 not even registering…

@JBONAMASSA Jacks Music Shoppe…👍🏻

@PeteLomasPi Printers have a “critical need sensor”…
Well, all mine have had that fitted as standard.🤣

@spgmutts @Yorkie71 @myenergiuk @JordeeBrompton We use a basic EO mini charger.
Unobtrusive and reliable.
They also make a “smart” version.
I can highly recommend EO.

@Yorkie71 @cyberdoyle A fair bit of scrap value there…

@PeteLomasPi Set up as a dedicated controller for Roon, Audirvana or similar. Streaming music to an RPi endpoint is easy with Ropieee.

@bobbyllew @mjcml789 @FullyChargedShw The same here - just a bit bigger. 40kW solar, 120kWh VRFB and 24kW of phase change DHW storage. Everything is electric and not a heat pump in sight. Net generator over the year, and 2 x EV’s.

@Yorkie71 @tkreidl Fortunately our Stellar pans - bought for series of old Aga cookers (standard fitment in farmhouses) work well on induction.
Bosch Induction Hob is amazing, Easy to clean & even has temp sensors for your pans - allows perfect white sauces etc…
Could not live without one now.

@theboygriffin I really like Finland. Enjoy the crisp mornings and clear skies… The Finns have a good sense of humour too…

@herdyshepherd1 I still think “Gredges” ….

[David Ford @davidwford]

@herdyshepherd1 Thanks, it originates from family - in Troutbeck! The Brownes have been about there for centuries…

[David Ford @davidwford]

@herdyshepherd1 We call ours the “Gredges” (short for green edges). The biggest of these is “bottle bank” - because it’s the site of an old rubbish pit and we keep finding old bottles…

@ruskin147 Worked there in the 80’s before the new building - so many “hidden” staircases and cut-throughs. It was like doing the “knowledge” - and then it would all change when something new was built!

@dig2agig @inca_networks Tom Rigg in a tie!!
