Every home should have one! Does a green job of cutting the greens!

Been in data comm since we formed the bits individually with a Morse key.

Notice that he doesn't indicate how long it took to charge up on that odd sunny, some might say peculiar, day in the insipid UK summer when the sun actually shines! Forget about charging on those days deep in winter with the foot fetishists' fair in its second week and the great horticulturists strike unresolved! =))

All power to his motor and strength to his bottom though, his heart is in the right place! :)

No, you can tell, because the bloke on the tractor isn't a mendacious blob of a man!

When all else fails, read the instructions.

Four panels will generate about 1kW at peak, so probably half that on a typical day when the sun shines. Probably enough to charge it in a day, and if it's used once a week, there should be no problem. Of course, weeks of warm, overcast/rainy weather will inhibit the charging while promoting grass growth, so there will be times of year when it won't cope.

The **** protestors managed to block traffic around Westminster this morning.

At the front of the queue of traffic was a large HGV which was clearly marked as a delivery truck of insulation materials.

What a bunch of dickheads!

The police need to start using brute force to peel these dickheads off the road. Any resultant injuries should be regarded as being self-inflicted.

Rescue is at hand, never fear, we are all in good hands for the Green future which awaits us way out there in the future.

The Chief Scientific Advisor (Medical) to the UK is now exhorting us to fly less, cycle to work, turn down the thermostat and eat less meat.

This comes from one of the principal architects of the failed measures to “conquer the virus”, introduced in March 2020 and from which the country and others are only just waking up to the collateral damage.

Hopefully someone may know of an isolated island to which we could banish “Unbalanced”, a k a Patrick Vallance, Fearguson, Witless and the rest of the SAGE lunatic fringe from whom we would never hear again?

Alternatively I am still looking for volunteers for a certain project which requires suitable candidates to participate in trials of a very short-term and painless nature, unlike the fate they have inflicted on the many innocents... =))
