    Job opportunity

    No m8. It's the 30p. I did a quick tot up and I would expect the 200 miles to cost around £30. On a down side. The 1st company have just got a contract for an additional 80 property's in the local area. (Sheffield) though we have a clean air zone and my van being a 2013 model wouldn't qualify...

    Can I be a 40yr old apprentice!!!

    I don't see a problem working with your son. I worked with a relative for 25 years. Yes a few arguments but don't all work colleagues.. Your never to old to learn and if your happy to take a cut in wage's then go for it. Your still young enough to get the long term benefits for the...

    Sizing an inverter.

    I would say it depends on your usage and especially the spikes in usage. My house base line ticks over at around 0.5 - 0.6kwh every hour. Then around 5pm is where we get the spikes before dropping back to 0.6 My 3.6kw inverter and battery combo covers most of the usage from march to oct...
