^Yes, for me it's cheaper - and I have more control over just what I pay. There were two Dimplex Quantum's in here when I moved in and they're still here, doing the same job. The only difference is the rate I pay for the electricity I use and the time it charges them up. All other electricity I use when charging the Quantum's comes in at the same cheap rate. Have a look and check it out. 

Octopus

^Was on THTC but since the change it's been a single smart meter, but all electricity supplied between 12.00 midnight and 07.00 GMT comes in at 15p per kW hour. Good reason to run the washing machine overnight. The storage heaters charge up on the cheap rate too.

^Here in Hillswick, I've changed over to Octopus and it all works for me. Six or seven weeks after signing up with them a guy put the smart meter in and it seems to do a good job. A better job than SSE ever did for me.

^They can't cant, surely?

An anidder thing.

police say it’s vandalism to destroy political party notices posted on local lampposts.

Do you think it is vandalism?

I think that the Scottish Parliament has a little more to say about it, and a little louder, than the polis.

Are you a Tory, now, George? Using Britain and us in the same sentence! Must have had a change of heart.

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. It should have read as, "A referendum was held in Shetland, and the rest of Scotland, on 23 June 2016 which showed a majority of us wanted out of the E.U. The English and the rest of them had a wee blether and did what they wanted." Some things never change.

^A referendum was held in Britain on 23 June 2016 which showed a majority of us wanted out of the E.U. That's when we started leaving. Took a while, but that's when we started.

What did Putin have to do with that?

^ It's worse than you thought. Elizabeth I was English - and the Queen of England, no more and no less.

^I believe that many people are now concerned about the legal aspect of ISA investments. After all, it gives them something to blether about.

Look on the bright side of life. The man that used to be H.R.H Prince Andrew is now Mr Windsor when in public, no more and no less.

Are we losing our abilities to process the information in a meaningful way, or have we become lazier than ever before and now are willing to swallow whatever we're fed?
