  1. Good point. This just goes to show how successful these original British products are. I don't think ownership of the companies reflects on the quality of the product in this case.
  2. About 5 years ago or thereabouts I placed an order for a sizeable sodium ion battery for my solar system. Never got them though because the manufacturer in Canada (I think) went under. Didn't cost me anything though. You might like to look at Faradion on the internet. They are producing some pretty good kit. some of it is very big and is intended for stationary installations like solar ESS or remote coms installations etc. There is also sodium battery technology for EVs from Faradion. https://faradion.co.uk/
  3. You're right but it would probably depend on how the airline decides to (gradually) do it.
  4. Well done Crossy. It would have taken me ages to get that spelling right.
  5. A million Baht in 9 months? That's a lot of units.
  6. Airlines have been trying to recoup their losses from the Covid restrictions. My perception is that prices went up by 50% then so a reduction of 20% still leaves the airlines 30% better off than they were pre-covid.
  7. Yeah sounds about right but also putting some effort into selecting the wrong leader...........several times. Very little effort seems to have been expended on post brexit deals for the national benefit.
  8. Whether the EU is better off or not is not the point. Many wonderful new changes were promised some years ago but very little has happened. What exactly have these dreaming politicians been doing all these years?
  9. Definition of idiot which I used is; a stupid person. "I feel like an idiot who swallowed every lie I was told" From the English Oxford dictionary Productive or not this seems to fit quite well and is based on how a person feels when the truth comes out.
  10. I don't qualify as a "brexit supporter" but I will point out the part where Boris failed to tell the truth and many idiots actually beleived him.
  11. Ha Ha Ha 40 years ago there was a lot less traffic so being like a lunatic was almost safe.
  12. That link is a very interesting and revealing read. It seems that rather than plod along making money from selling electricity, one would be better off selling the company that makes the power. I was under the impression that it is illegal for UK government bodies to "invest" public money because of the risk factor.
  13. From the looks of things it seems a bad idea for all forms of government to get involved in energy production. https://news.sky.com/story/stricken-council-backed-solar-farms-giant-to-shine-light-on-auction-12772777 So if anyone has a few million £ you might like to buy a ready made going concern with thousands of solar panels etc.
  14. Not a problem. Submarines are designed to sink
  15. Yes. In bad weather, all watertight doors are supposed to be closed and all crew members are ordered to don life jackets.
  16. I got my new passport a couple of days ago. The whole process took 12 weeks. That included a 1 week delay because the agent I used didn't read my emails. I ended up making a telephone call to them.
  17. Interesting. One might have thought there would be a memory support battery so that settings would still be remembered even if power were lost for a few weeks.
  18. Allow me to point out that a "boat" in naval terms is a submarine and they most certainly do take on water and sink.
  19. I realy don't know what all the fuss is about.......
  20. The governments planning is spot on. Don't forget they have a 51% (I think) stake in the electricity companies so in effect they are giving themselves a nice juicy pay rise. I think such rises in the cost of electricity are bad for the people of Thailand for all the reasons others have mentioned.
  21. Just got back from Buriram immigration office. First: I was told there would be a charge of 500 Baht for "Visa transfer". I told the young lady receptionist that was not right because it is a free service. She went away only to return after a few minutes to reiterate the requirement for 500 Baht. Once again I told her that was wrong and asked why she wanted me to pay. She went away and half an hour later I was given back my old and new passports with no charge for "visa transfer". Second: This thing about "visa transfer" is, as others have mentioned, a bit misleading. What I got was a rubber stamp for each original visa that was in my old passport. Information added to the rubber stamp was the date of issue, the place of issue, the type of visa and the expiry date. Also, on the next page there were a couple of stamps regarding my last extension and the date of my next extension. I'm sure many have already said something along these lines. Apologies to you for repeating.
