Sure. But that's pretty much pure profit, and we're talking very large volumes. My point stands.

I haven't had the Microsoft scam in years; used to real fun seeing how long I could string them along for. These days I just get a tape recording telling me I'll be charged for Amazon Prime unless I press "1" and divert the call via Belize to pay £63 per minute. Not been tempted so far, but...

I've travelled first class to Australia several times, mostly on Thai or Qantas, and once in economy (all except one were paid for by my employer at the time). In most cases, economy was heaving and first class was less than half full, with marvellous service, so much space, a 'bed' and a...

None so blind as he who asks for evidence, but can't be bothered to look at it, in case he learn something he doesn't like.

The picture is needed because most covidiots wouldn't understand the science. And if you actually look at at it , I'm sure you'll eventually understand the message. Persevere!

Where's the logic in that? What have you got against the nice people in Zone 3*? The whole point of the tube map is to be useful as possible to as many people as possible; not for the convenience of map makers. *And the not-so-nice people, for that matter.

" When will restrictions finally end?" When you people stick to the rules and the pandemic dies away. You can't compromise with disease; either you lockdown hard and do what has to be done, (New Zealand; restrictions now lifted) or you mess about doing just enough to stop hospitals bursting...

"Why else were the officers so strict?" - They have the occasional 'clampdown' like enforcement teams everywhere. In London you see a team hit the Overground, or 20 officers surrounding one bus. It's an event 'pour encouragement les autres'. As for the feet on seats, it's a Mersey Thing. True...

It's absolutely routine for trains to continue in their existing livery until convenient for the adopting company to change it (until recently, Northern was a positive menagerie of liveries, though I understand it's improving). As the trains are (relatively) new, I'd guess Southeastern will...

I'm still not convinced by your pessism on this. I don't know why you anti-solar folk obsess about peak demand: it isn't really a big issue now . Solar won't be in a position to give us all our power for decades, and by then, battery (and other) systems will without doubt be much better than...

1. probably a three second high as the kettles went on. Not usual. Not representative of a 'normal usage'. As I'm sure you know. Football? Strictly? 2. Then It's a crying shame that you don't believe in it. You generally sound like the guy from Toyota last week: they were streets ahead on...

Over a winter month, solar panels can produce, on average, 20-25% of the energy they produce in a summer month. If we had a government that cared about the future (we don't, and never have), they'd mandate all new buildings to have solar panels, and all roofs designed to maximise output (eg...

Do you have a source for this? I find it a little hard to believe!

If it's a choice between shade and nuclear power stations at ludicrous prices, I know my preference 8-) We might not need sunshade a lot, but we do need rainshade! As it happens, you can get transparent solar panels; they are currently pretty pricey, but that may change. There's also, I'd...

You are mistaken (or out of date). Modern solar panels are pretty efficient, even in Winter, and provide 20-25% of their peak power, provided they' are installed to maximise a lower sun. It's really only the shorter day that really limits them. The sensible plan would be to install for the...

And that would includes Thameslink services, certainly between West Hampstead/Finsbury Park and Streatham/East Croydon/Bromley South, possibly more (It would also include some Southeastern Metro Services; the tube is much more sparse in SE London). TfL's job is to provide the best possible...

I honestly cannot understand why Thameslink was ever removed (at least the central area bits). And I can't understand why they're saying 'temporarily' for covid. Travel is travel, same good information is needed whenever you travel. If Thameslink isn't justified, then neither is Overground, or...

The future is solar power (no moving parts, minimal maintenance); but wind power is definitely preferable to gas ... the reason they use gas is that they have already contracted to use it, and so they 'might as well' or it's cash wasted. This kind of silliness will go on until we have ways of...
