Writing about old women it's notable that everyone assumes that they know what you're writing about because everyone knows all about old women and their 'ways.'
Some people even tell me that they have grandmothers (imagine!).
It's as though I were writing about newts or kittens.

Some tips on getting solar panels installed Get the funding in place. If upfront cash is an issue, check out the alternatives I’ve covered previously. Do some research. The SolarUK subreddit is excellent, as well as people like Gary Does Solar on YouTube. Search local solar installers near you. Make sure they are MCS registered (they will say so if they are and will be on the MCS database) Make a note of your energy usage over the year (in kwh). This will help with getting the right battery size. The advice is often to ‘max out’ the number of panels you can fit. Since labour and scaffolding is a big part of the cost, additional panels often add little to the overall cost. Get an in-person quote from a well-reviewed firm. They will tell you how many panels you can fit on your roof (there are also tools online where to help you approximate this) Go to 2-3 other well-reviewed firms to get more quotes Haggle, if you are so inclined Pick one. Book it in. Get on the right tariff in advance – one which offers cheap overnight rates. This will let you charge your battery cheaply for the next day’s usage, whether it’s sunny or not. Several offer nighttime rates of around 7p per kwh. Pick somewhere for the battery and inverter to go, either in a large cupboard or outside (keeping them in lofts is strongly discouraged now) Sort out energy exporting – as soon as you have a G99 export certificate your installer has (hopefully) got hold of, plus the MCS certificate, you can sign up for an export tariff, e.g. EDF, Octopus, Good Energy, Eon. For renters: start exploring plug-in solar. It’s coming soon (and is already possible with sign off from an electrician). Failing that, pester your landlord. It will boost their EPC and make your home a far nicer place to live.
I've written up some tips on installing solar panels in the UK if you're lucky enough to own your own home (and roof).
These are just tips that worked for me - I'm sure others will have more.
If it helps anyone at all I'll be delighted.
Brexit has failed due to the Brits who sold it as an idea, the Brits who voted for it, the Brits who negotiated it, the Brits who implemented it and because it was a really shit idea brought about by hatred. It’s not due to remainers, the EU, COVID or Ukraine. Own it.

This is why science is so exciting: “This surprised me because we had no prior evidence…” Imagine the excitement in the lab when these results emerged! This tiny single-celled organism learned to ignore being gently tapped in its Petri dish. It learned. That’s amazing!
