Normally with the heat wave comes the rain , not sure which I prefer , the cold I think at least you can get jobs done and its not dark grey skies. |

Maybe you have a and others who batteries go flat are suffering from a parasitic drain , this is when current is being drain form the battery even when the car is unused , a boot light not going out for example, the radio draws amps and the clock will take some load , it could be even the alternator , this happens when charging diodes fail .
I have one of those solar panel trickle chargers , which I bought for a classic car I have which isn't used often, it does seem to work. Remember batteries normally only have a life span of 3 to 5 years due to the ability to hold a charge. |

Not saying it was but bad enough to cut off people for weeks and deny them electricity and water. |

Just in case I've just been to screwfix and bought a 2500 watt electric heater as I'm fortunate to have solar panels on my south facing roof , I didn't buy them but had them fitted in agreement with a company who receives the feed in tariff and myself the power generated . |

That's slightly worrisome . It seems to me he that believes that the Welsh political leadership cannot do anything wrong only the English and to be honest there are too many out there who feel the same. |

Yep . d certainly do , I liked Hollins RIP as a gentleman the football side not so much ,he was shall we say pragmatic. He took the time out just after we won the Division Three (old 4th Division) title to visit my son in hospital along with Walter Boyds winner's medal and came across as being genuinely interested. |

Did anyone tell Centrica that it sometimes gets cold in the UK ,
"UK gas stores have fallen to “concerningly low” levels amid freezing cold temperatures, the owner of British Gas has said.
Centrica said the UK now has less than a week’s worth of demand for gas in store.
On Thursday, stocks at UK gas storage sites were 26% lower than the same period last year, leaving them about half full, the energy giant said.
Gas inventory levels have come under pressure from the cold weather conditions and the end of Russian gas pipeline supplies through Ukraine at the end of last month.
Centrica boss Chris O’Shea said the levels are “concerningly low”.
We are an outlier from the rest of Europe when it comes to the role of storage in our energy system and we are now seeing the implications of that
Centrica boss Chris O'Shea
He said the clean energy transition would mean the UK needs to use more energy storage systems to help meet demand.
“We are an outlier from the rest of Europe when it comes to the role of storage in our energy system and we are now seeing the implications of that.
“Energy storage is what keeps the lights on and homes warm when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow, so investing in our storage capacity makes perfect economic sense.
“We need to think of storage as a very valuable insurance policy.” |

You seemed to have the missed the fact that the outcry is the loudest from the citizens of this country , what is being misrepresented ? and are you saying that Pakistani men are not raping within gangs and those headlines are incorrect. |

I'm embarrassed for you for not being able to spell embarrassed , the rest of your post as per norm is just deflecting nonsense , I know you believe that those in cardiff are above reproach but to talk about the Senedd and Trump in the same post is ridiculous 
Please provide us ten of the success stories that Welsh Labour have managed to achieve .
I'll give you a starter for ten

Best job I ever had , hard in the winter , shorts and tee shirts in the summer , this of course before H&S rightly kicked in, looking back I sometimes cringe at some of things we got up to.
Paying for it now though with knackered knees and back. |

Not to the extent that you have Mormons chopping heads off soldiers in the streets or blowing up buses etc all in the name of Allah, shooting dead journalists in an office or be heading a school teacher for showing images of a sky fairy.
There is plenty of text in the Bible and Koran which would seem to encourage attacks on other faith followers or not even those displaying any faith, but why is the Muslim faith so keen to take it literally , you seem to have forgotten our very own Anjem Choudary by the way.
We haven't even mentioned faith schools , another establishment for extremist views to fester and grow. not all admittedly but its estimated 250,000 children attend approximately 2,000 madrassas in the UK , what chance of integration is there when these continue to grow within an ever growing population which is being imported from countries in which Christianity is not followed and in some cases followers ostracised or even killed. |

I remember when I worked on the overhead lines we had a breakdown on the Heads of the Valleys common and it was minus 10 degrees, before we climbed we had to hit the ice off the leg of the tower as we climbed , no permanent attachment in those days either. Spent a few months in Pembroke back in 82 when we had the snow falls to beat all snow falls, the weight of ice loading on the conductors pulled 2 towers (pylons) cross arms to the ground.
Great days |
