Gas & Electricity

Crisis averted…

I’d like him to explain how it’s possible to improve the efficiency of a process where electrical energy is converted to heat. What is the energy byproduct that is wasted that could be reduced?

It’s not like going from a tungsten lightbulb to an LED where the saving is all the heat not generated. In a kettle, the heat is what you want.

I suspect he needs to familiarise himself with the first law of thermodynamics.

The fucking stage of that. A new fucking kettle??

****.

I have just bought a 3.litre flask. Boil kettle first thing, put boiling water in flask. That will last me a day. No need to keep boiling kettle throughout the day. A few pence saved. It maybe a small saving but it helps.

Fucking hell, we are meant to be in the 21st century, not living like Bear Grylis on a survival week on an abandoned island somewhere!! Haha!

Working from home this is a good idea.
We shouldn’t be working 40 hours a week to reduce ourselves to doing shit like this, but if it helps….

A Michelin-starred restaurant in Dorset has been forced to close with "immediate effect" due to rising costs.

The Fontmell in Shaftesbury, which was listed in the 2022 Michelin guide, explained that supplier costs had increased to such a point that it was "no longer able to pass that cost" onto its customers.

In a message on the pub's Facebook page, the owner revealed that the pub's utilities alone have increased by £58,000 per year.

My local has just increased the price of a pint of San Miguel to £5. The 99p a pint days of 1986 are long gone! Inflation since then should have seen it rise to £2.50! Something has gone wrong somewhere along the way!

That's a shame, but looks like it may become a common thing.
