Club comms not up to speed today. I've only just had my reminder that the ST early-bird window closes tomorrow. HMRC smashed them on timing with their Making Tax Digital reminder!

I live in a very old place so decent insulation is not possible. It’s quite small though with big chunky radiators and low ceilings so I’m hoping if I can sort out the main draughty areas then it should work out ok.

As OI mentioned good insulation is much more important than your energy source.

Air source heat pump can be very economical if you have a reasonably large house battery that you can charge overnight with cheap rate electric. We're now paying 5.2p/kWh between 23:30 and 05:30 which is less than we pay for gas, so with a 3:1 efficency ratio of an ASHP it works out well under 2p/kWh of heating/hot water. I'd seriously consider installoing one, but not sure if we may move soon(ish)

Sounds apocryphal to me, but hey…

I imagine stores can only ask pavement stalls to move unless they are restricting access to the store or are actually on land owned by the store. There are many regulations about charity stalls but they are governed by the local council rather than individual stores. Weirdly one thing you must not do is shake a cash collecting bucket!

My wife knows someone who has built a wood framed house from scratch with very well insulated wall panels and a heat pump is great for that but part of the house design. It will depend enormously on the individual properties.

Today M&S and Card Factory in Sutton told collectors for a Veterans Homeless charity to move from outside their store as the Union Flag on their display might offend people!

Hopefully Donald will tell the king that heat pumps are rubbish and climate change is fake and the green party aren't green anymore:-)

Guy Martin did a good show called House without Bills earlier this year. When they put in a heat pump they said you needed a real expert to spend time calibrating the system after it has been installed. Sounds like the people who say they are useless haven't had this done.

Happy Easter whatever day that is for all those who like saying they’re fans of the church and stuff, this sums things up quite well I reckon…. [Link]

Huddersfield game that is

I noticed Sully was wearing no. 23 so who had the no. 1 shirt that season?

Elys of Wimbledon is 150yrs old this year. Not been in there for years (pre 88). Last time only remembered because they had every other Div 1 shirt except ours. Sold out? Nah! Not worth it, some sales assistant said.

Hmm…

Our window cleaner had one in his housing association place. Said it was useless. Only person I can think of who has direct experience.

That’s part of my concern CW

Someone's put a bunch of April Fool posters on the telephone mast outside our house. One of them has a big picture of Alan Kimble on it (the bloke saying he needs a Kimble sticker to complete a set).

My mate Ed Milliband reckons they are a good idea 😀

Any wuppers have air source heat pumps?

Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield in the 4th minute of injury time in the 5t round of the cup was an early example of what is called limbs these days when random strangers were hugged and people ended up several rows away from where they were originally

Afternoon all. VAR in the 1890s took about five hours because the illustrator had to paint the incident in question first
