CHEERS
I'm all electric so no need for a massive heavy cooker/boiler
Just a combi oil boiler that's compact
Biogas boiler was an idea but it costs 9k-16k for C/H and heating water
Plus It will probably use over a ton of wood pellets per year
So uneconomic
AND the Gov have withdrawn the grant a few months ago
But thanks for posting info m8

Should be PM
Martin Lewis........no ballsh*t just facts

Blimey I'm out of date already.

They are worth a fortune coz almost everybody dumped them as the decades passed.

At Dunton Essex Fords European R&D centre, my department in the early 80's wrote the Software (Basic - machine code - lowest level of code) onto a 2K chip for an ECU (engine management system)
Nowadays modern cars have up to 150 chips controlling all manner of stuff

Naughty......plebs will go insane.

Anyone have 1st/2nd hand knowledge of domestic biogas boilers from friends/relatives/neighbours
I have a 45 year old oil fired boiler that needs replacement as it may not last through another winter
PLUS heating oil has tripled in prices as no price cap and 5% vat
CHEERS

All scientific antique instruments are increasingly sort by dealers/collectors
I have a massive ships brass compass and a massive aneroid barometer (1930/40s) that my father passed down to me. He had an "arrangement" with the manager of a shipyard that bought in small ships to breakup for scrap, back in the day.

The inclusion of the “tactical” drones, which crash into their targets, represents a new phase of weaponry the US Military, which so far has shipped mostly anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.

The Switchblade is a flying camera robot with an explosive inside. These all-electric machines are weapons that will help find or attack nearby enemies, not far-away ones.

The men in the 331st regarded themselves as the pick of Russia's army. In a video posted online last May, a general tells soldiers of the 331st Parachute Regiment that they are "the best of the best". The unit served in the Balkans, Chechnya, and the 2014 Russian intervention in the Donbas region of Ukraine, and regularly took part in Red Square parades in Moscow.

Kostroma locals have told us they believe that around 100 members of the regiment may have died. And many families will never receive their loved one's body because it was left behind on the battlefield.
Even a conservative projection of the deaths we now know about, and their dates, suggest that the town's losses in a few weeks in Ukraine already exceed those from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
