The average UK wage is around 16/17K, with a 2.5x mortgage, Ergh, no - the last I heard on radio 4, the average wage is around £22.000 at the moment. And I think that you get more than 2.5x mortgage - or at least you did, before the latest credit crunch. And it's not just the young who can't choos...

don't bother with the tiny Rutland, they give bog all output - the 913 is a good reliable one (as is the boxy one) - Navitron are sellling a really good 300 watt turbine - their "portable" model for under £300 - I've got one waiting erection in my back garden - nicely made, and have &quo...

bang on right! - you're wise to have both pvs and a wind turbine - the pvs are at their best in summer, the turbine in winter - ally them to proper controllers, and some decent batteries, you should have all you need! :cooldude: yeah, so far I've narrowed it down to probably a 85W Kyocera Solar Mod...

for the miniscule amount of power they can give, they really are just a waste of money - and to get the one in the link to charge 12v batteries will cost a small fortune in electrickery! :? You've presumably got a diesel main engine - in emergencies, run that for a few minutes! (a car-type alternat...

Hello martin, I am planning on buying some Solar Panels - so you don't need to sell me on that. I wasnt going to buy the one in america, as I've found a Source of a Hand Crank in the UK - for £50 - and could probably manage to convert it to charge 12V batteries http://www.armyradio.co.uk/arsc/custo...

yes I like rabbit, but I don't like it too gamy (like I don't like pheasant too gamy) This recipe works well with rabbit or pheasant. 2 rabbit 2 onions (or 4 challots) 4 largish carrots some tyme, rosmary some mushrooms (you decide) optional - bacon. 1 1/2 pints of stock (chicken etc) 1/2 pint of dr...

thanks for the feed back martin -

so in your view, this would be a total waste of time?

hello, I am looking into the idea of buying an ex military hand crank generator, there is one advertised on ebay (although in america) that is idea, its been converted to charge 12V batteries. the only problem is that it is quite costly to ship in to the UK, I've looked at other ones online that are...

there will be restrictions on the land - I don't think you will be able to have a permanent residence there. - this would include a nice mobile home. i did a quick search on line and found this discussion on another board. http://www.planningresource.co.uk/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=...

rice? Sorry. If it is flood free in the warmer months then I guess most annuals - peas, squashes, potatoes??? haha, yeah I did think about that! well, last summer it flooded, but then most of Oxford flooded last summer, so i think (hope) it was an exception! I am thinking of growing some mushrooms ...

Hello, i've not been to the site for a long time. I've just got a new allotment space (as I've moved cities) - and the one I have is liable to flood in the winter (it is basically on a flood plain). during spring, summer and autumn it's generally free from flooding. So my question is, what would be ...

Womble is a good word and a nice word to describe the sort of ejits who burn stuff and also burn down sheds. If I were glennie I would be really really really cross! no, wombles where recyclers! :) The Wombles Underground, Overground, Wombling Free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Making go...
