Brilliant Clap

Honestly makes the payback time miles quicker. Even better if it gets you into Green Mortgage territory. And with crazy energy prices, even moreso!

A no brainer. Another plus is that a PV system is the most efficient way of reducing your BER rating, so for a modest investment you'll reap a significant uplift in the value of your property. For example a 5kW system could move your property up 3 notches on the BER index. Now that's back of a fag packet stuff but there's a formula which shows exactly how much improvement to your BER rating a PV system would do.

I had a fantastic couch once that was like a coin hover for unsuspecting guests. Every now and again would remember to shove the hands in and pull out €8 big ones.
Muahahahah. 

Bag of cans sorted Cool 
It would damage this forums' reputation

I would appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about my busy hands. Not so much for myself, but I am so respected, it would damage the town to hear it

Inevitable. This winter will be very expensive. Business' will become increasingly under pressure and layoffs are Inevitable. 

Energy rationing is a possibility.

As far as I know, none of these ****s offer fixed rates. It’s a f**king racket. Sign up to their terms which they can change at any time. Such ****s
