@holland_tom Beer was safer than drinking water.

In my opinion it still is :-)

@AndreaHotter Amazing times. I remember $200 ish as a market price some years ago.

@JEBistline This was illustrated (illuminated ;-)) to me during the BBC adaption of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall.

And viewers complained the sets were too gloomy.

@NairoInGreen I think these technological developments are ruining sport. Bring back the Penny Farthing for professional cycling events.

@archeohistories What an opulent gift to a slave girl.

@portraitinflesh Thanks for posting this, Tomos. I'd forgotten what a good series this was.

@fitzr1189 Have a look at the price per kWh for gas vs. Electricity on your current supplier to be sure.

[John Reade @JohnPReade]

@fitzr1189 It was fitted to the new build house before we bought it, a requirement of planning permission in 2014. I didn't mind, because I like the efficiency but it's a shame it doesn't save money too.

[John Reade @JohnPReade]

@fitzr1189 @newhandlehun They are great technology but relative electricity prices in the UK ruin the argument, at least for now.

[John Reade @JohnPReade]

@fitzr1189 @newhandlehun Yes, but solar in the UK would only work well in summer and only for perhaps 4-8 hours.

And heat pumps are needed more in winter when it is cold and sun isn't really strong enough in the UK for solar to work much in winter.

[John Reade @JohnPReade]

@fitzr1189 @newhandlehun Butting in here, as I follow you both and I have a heat pump. It is thermodynamically efficient, warms our 10-year old, well insulated UK house well results in reduced fossil fuel usage.

But electricity is 4x gas prices in the UK, so it isn't saving any £££.

Man’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.

@BarnacreAlpacas 1) I've had a dog that was exactly like that.
2) I feel that way most mornings too!

[John Reade @JohnPReade]

@benohanlon @ZynxBTC You mean old owner occupiers will use their housing wealth to pay for their own care? Sounds sensible.

[John Reade @JohnPReade]

@buildscapital @ZynxBTC That would be a great result. And I say that without sarcasm.
