09/04/2007 - General Wingeing

09/04/2007
Easter has come and gone - thank the heavens. Decided to check whether it is possible to put a windmill in the garden. Living in a conservation area this is proving problematicle, if not impossible. I think we'd spend more on getting planning permission and buying the kit than in just keeping all the lights, televisions, cooker, various other bits of electronics, the computers etc. etc. etc. fully charged and giving us a decent level of life - and don't event ask to talk to the local electricity board since their "Help/Wait desk" is incapable of talking the language, let alone being able to help. The only positive thing is that they are very good at keeping you waiting. I didn't understand that going green meant being naïve and paying out more.

Rob and Joe arrived yesterday evening - had glimpses of an interesting idea of theirs. Bad news is that Ed's brother in law died, plus his daughter is about to be evicted following a court hearing on Friday.

Don't you just love the way that "The Government" is full of spouting on with statistics and about what we should do, and then puts everything in the way of not letting you do it - or even penalising you for doing it? (This is a rhetorical question).
