I dunno, pretty good first comment from..


"Yes, it can be confusing. I don't know if anyone else is aware that Camelot do not use the binary numeric system!

Got a cheque from Camelot the other week for ?1000000 - thought it was only ?64 and so binned it!

Why can't they be upfront about the system they use? Who knows how the hexadecimalists cope!"

Mind you how do you go about explaining minus to someone who isn't going to grasp theoretical concepts.

After all -1 centigrade is arbitrary, it could be 127 thrupples, like an amp that goes up to 11.


I mean you've got 2 apples, now I take 3 away...uurgh?...tricky stuff ;-P

As another of the commenters says, no wonder they're all in debt!! :D

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
