  1. Most of the marketing is aimed at caravans and mobile homes and not boats. In caravans and mobile homes it is pretty much drop in so not misleading.
  2. It will discharge at whatever rate the LA battery will accept. Watch the video!
  3. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  4. Get the brasso out polish the pipe and it will look great. No need to move it then.
  5. For many years I used to work as a sound engineer and he was one of the artists I worked for. It was the last night of the tour and we all (musicians and crew) had dinner together. He asked if I had a notepad and pen which I did and gave it to him thinking he jat wanted to make some notes about that nights show. At the end of dinner he handed it back to me and said "here is your bonus" . Didn't think much of it at the time but found out later about his artwork and the fact that to have a portrait done by him would cost $10k. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Yes it is a likeness of who I was then.
  6. Not for intensive use, but just as a fill for the odd days when 3 isn't available as I said I've used 100gb in 9 months. Must use up the last 20gb before end of April๐Ÿ˜‰
  7. I use 3 but carry an EE SIM for the very rare times I can't get 3. There is still 20gb left on it after 9 months. EE PAYG SIM card preloaded with 120GB of Data https://amzn.eu/d/aM0HVO1
  8. Yes I've been running an "unlimited" SIM at home for 6 months now it expires somewhere late 2025. No difference to my previous 3 contract. Also have an 85gb one in the van at about ยฃ3 a month same applies. I bought from Amazon best watch there for special offers. That's what I used to do with Smarty but the ยฃ3 for 85gb was just to cheap to pass on I still have some ยฃ40 credit with Smarty that I will use when in Ireland later this year as the Scancom SIM is UK only.
  9. Scancom.co.uk is about as cheap as you will find, various networks, amounts of data and expiry dates. Unlimited works out about ยฃ7pm.

  11. I don't use HVO VW diesels don't like it. Nor will I have a wood burner or even a multi fuel stove as they are too dirty. Bio diesel yes I remember using that, 20 years or so ago. Nice clean electric in use here it's so expensive that ๐Ÿ™ are giving it free or paying me to use it tonight ๐Ÿ˜‰
  12. Depends on the feedstock for the HVO. If it's waste product then it's fine.

  14. I've had several pints with @ditchcrawler ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Not much then, looks like you could get a lot more on that conservatory ๐Ÿ˜‰ That is if Google maps is correct
  16. Thought you couldn't have panels cos of the Thatch.
  17. The owner builds drones hence him having the battery and admitted his mistake ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
  18. It's not so much to do with CO2 it's the PM2.5 emissions that make wood such a bad fuel compared to just about everything else.
  19. It could if you had that type of battery ๐Ÿค” Easily done if you don't know what you are buying.
  20. Only if the batteries are of the type to be used in domestic solar installations. Which will rule out 99% of boat batteries ๐Ÿ˜‰
  21. Forty years ago I had dinner with Tony Bennett and as a bonus he drew a sketch of me ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. What happens if you leave a lithium polymer battery on charge. Fire starts at 20mins in.
  23. As said elsewhere burning wood is not good for the environment. Burning HVO or e-Coal is just about acceptable as they have less emissions ๐Ÿค”
