The oil below the UK sea bed is owned by the Crown. Extraction and production licences were sold to the oil companies long ago, just like much of the rest of the "family silver". But the big players are the USA oil companies, Saudi (state owned) and Russia. They are powerful. Together, they have oil production and pricing sewn up.

Even Norway, where some oil is state owned are subj...

About 25 years ago I bought a thermostat housing for (allegedly) a Marina, and a thermo-switch that screwed into the top of it. The fan came from the scrapyard. The switch had 85º stamped on it. This worked perfectly, but I did have to use a relay or the switch burned out. Eventually the ally housing corroded and I bought a new one, but the thread in it was wrong for the switch. Very odd. It was ...

Agreed David, as the Americans might say 'Me and ma bitch'.
The mid term results will be interesting.
We all know how he'll react but what will he actually do if/when the Republicans lose control of either/both houses?

I did similar with the B. It originally just had a manual switch, but I did forget to turn it on, once. Oops.

I tried a Kenlowe thermostatic switch, but I just couldn’t stop it from leaking, despite having the correct rubber saddle.

So, I had a 22mm boss fitted to the top tank. I went to the local motor factors and found a sensor that switched on and off at the required temperatu...

Jeremy,

It would be funny if it wasn't so true.

It is excellent news we are about to open up Scottish Gas and Oil reserves. Why source from far away fields when we have it on our door step. What really angers me though is "Energy is traded on an internation market and we will have to pay the going rate". Why have we sold off exploration licences to multinational firms who then sell us our oil and gas back at prices they set. OIl and gas should ...

Ray,

It’s not quite that efficient unfortunately, maybe the public charging amount is more than I estimated but a bit more difficult to check with several different charging apps.
But during a trip to the petrol station to fill the Midget up last week it was a shock to find out how much it costs to add half a tank of fuel. Made me realise how cost efficient an EV is.

I started off with my electric fan using the supplied thermostatic control. Kicked in OK, but the shut off temperature took so long to get there the thing never switched off. Removed stat and just use a manual switch now. Things are also cooler in all conditions with a brand new radiator!
