Hmm yes, this glorious fight against climate change that keeps rearing it's head when people want me to spend more money.
I'm expected to spend 'up to' £8k on a new heating system that may, or may not, be as good as the one I currently have.
My washing machine is 'eco friendly' and only has a cold fill water inlet, which means it has to heat up the water instead of using the hot water already available in a tank upstairs . . . and takes over 2 hours to do a decent wash/rinse cycle.
A house full of 'low energy' light bulbs that probably use more energy to make than I save by using them.
In the meantime, 5 miles away is a steelworks pumping out more crap in an hour than I could make in 6 months, served by a road network full of vehicles adding to the problem, and a large new 'new village' build underway on a designated flood plain.
. . and that's just local, in a Country that actually has (and tries to hit) emission targets instead of burning their forests down.
Well that's my mid week moan out of the way, I guess I should now look around on which destination I should fly to for a nice 2 week holiday in the sun
