Just for amusement I looked back at a costing I did in December 2009 for a 400w off grid system. At that time the total system cost was going to be 122,000 Baht including 3 x 130w panels at 24K each! Unsurprisingly I did not go beyond producing a costing.

I do not know how they concluded the old meter was faulty. My wife spoke to them on the phone. I have been recording electricity usage and bills for the last ten years and there was no significant difference in units used.

We do not have solar but I am considering installing a grid tie system next year. On the subject of meters we had a new meter fitted in the last week. This was done at the initiative of PEA in Chumphon as they said the old meter was faulty. I had not noticed any problem. The new meter is of the spinning top variety so we got lucky I guess.

Abstraction of electricity where I live in redneck country is very common. Just about any event such as a wedding or funeral a guy is hired who turns up with marquees, plastic chairs and tables. They usually bring enough lighting to light up a football stadium and they power it all by illegally connecting to the grid upstream of the property owner's meter. Many market traders power their market stalls in a similar manner.

I think it was just before. Days or a few weeks before. The timeline I was referencing was in today's Guardian. It only gave events by month as opposed to the exact date. -

He reached an agreement with HMRC back in August 2022 which included the payment of a substantial fine. That was the point at which his guilt was established. -
Hilux Revo 4 years old high fuel consumption ?
In the jungle replied to liddelljohn's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
So far as I can tell from the preceding posts you have not actually measured the fuel consumption. Your impression seems to be subjective. A first step would therefore be to measure fuel consumption and compare with what others with the same truck/engine are getting. That makes more sense to me than getting dealers to chase a problem that may be illusory. -
Saying London, England or Paris, France as opposed to just London and Paris.

Bigot forum. A dead winner.

Honda HRJ216 is the best mower you can buy in Thailand. Anything less than 1 rai maybe choose something cheaper.

Front and rear bumpers do not look stock; probably FRP made in Thailand. Paint mismatch on front bumper. Check for crash damage front and rear. Sill mouldings also not stock. Check for rust and damage (such as incorrect lifting). Rear wing obviously some Thai aftermarket thing. Nonetheless a pretty car.

Is it time for you to face reality and LEAVE ?

I got a vehicle keyed here because I parked it in a space the local taxi drivers considered their own. -

British Passport Renewal Timing Improved
In the jungle replied to hotandsticky's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
"The government has been accused of wasting taxpayers’ cash after being forced to pay record levels of compensation to people affected by disruption at the Passport Office. New figures show that £3.1m was paid out in “reimbursements” in the seven months to December 2022, significantly more than the £2.2m paid out in the whole of 2021-22. The £448,000-a-month spend is more than four times the average monthly figure before the pandemic and comes after a period of severe disruption for His Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO), with hundreds of thousands of people affected by application backlogs over the summer. A report by the government’s spending watchdog in December said the delays were caused by a surge in demand after Covid travel restrictions were lifted, and the inability of HMPO to cope. A lack of staff and limitations in government systems exacerbated the problems, the National Audit Office said. Documents show ministers were alerted to several issues with key contractors before the increase in demand, with the Observer revealing in July that one outsourcing firm was failing to meet targets for responding to calls and emails as early as May 2021. HMPO does not routinely pay compensation where applications take longer than the published time frames. The payouts include the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by customers because of operational errors and refunds for fast-track applications that were not processed in time. HMPO also makes payments for emotional distress caused by its mistakes, although it says this is not routine, with claims assessed on a case-by-case basis. “Exceptional” circumstances where consolatory payments may be made include a missed wedding or funeral due to an error, or where irreplaceable documents were lost."

Got that loud and clear. You're freezing your nuts off. Don't worry. You can always wrap yourself up in the flag. -
Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
In the jungle replied to Scott's topic in World News
Farage, Rees Mogg and co. will not be happy until Britain declares war on Europe, or failing that, France.
