I'm not ...

That's nearly as bad as Team "Too Much Grand Marnier" who "won" the wooden spoon in the Virtual BCN Challenge

That's an excellent argument for an A2B controller or a controllable regulator for Lead Acid batteries, never mind LiFePOs

One parkour crew asked me if I wanted to have a go, so I told them to take a running jump ... /coat

I think some of the photos entered for 2021 are going to be fascinating! I wonder if the same judge will be asked back?

Sadly mine went in the bin last week - well, the stick and the tiny fragment of black flag which was all that was left of it. Not bad for £2 from Leeds market three and a half years ago. I'll have to get another one ...

Hope you got a reputable firm to refit them for you ...

@Jen-in-Wellies has a solar water heating system, but it's quite a bit more than a pipe on the roof!

Are you sure? Once you have a VAT-paid certificate for both the EU and for the UK you should be able to move back and forth, just keep your proof of VAT status safe!

Can you supply 20+ amps at 12V 24 hours a day from your battery bank? I can't. "Normal" power usage on boats is about 80 - 120 Ah per day, and your pump is taking 500 Ah. Just to drive the heat pump you'll need nine standard 110Ah lesiure batteries, probably plus the usual four for other domestic loads ... ... and then you will need to replace about 700Ah daily into the batteries. How many solar panels do you call "some", and what output do yo expect in early January when you need the heating most?

They are a well travelled pair ...

I'd say it's the boaters that want to boat, and the others that don't!

That's low for a load limit - even the footbridges are usually 3 Tons!

I found this nice photo on flickr, in Nigel Essery's collection. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lighthousephotographyuk/40520898021/in/album-72157692188689301/

I was assuming that he had at least taken both the photos that form the composite image! My main objection to it is that it is badly done in post-processing, not the fact it's a composite. I made the mistake of showing to MrsBiscuit - who used to do photo editing professionally - and she ranted about it for ages. I've not shown her @Jim Riley's recent creation yet ...

Proves he does learn from experience though - at least he uploaded a video before posting this thread. The next channel might even start with a well filmed and edited video. He'll find out if he sticks around that there are some long term professional video editors and producers who post on the forum ...

Yep. Photos here. I prefer it to EELadys unique design ...

That's better than the Grand Union one in a similar design!

True that. Alan Holden describes the L&L as a very small village with a long, wet High Street. He's absolutely correct, as you get people in Leeds telling you gossip from Burscough and not just online. "Ooh, did you hear what Fred's Dad said about Sharon's Uncle ..."

Yeah, I used to know quite a few of the Camelot crowd thirty years ago. King Arthur (Chris Bruce) sadly passed away a couple of years ago.

Well, apart from the six down to Glasson Dock.

Turn it into a TV career. It seems to have worked for Mad Edgar this year!
