hissingsid Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I wonder if they have got there yet ? Anyone know who actually went ? Three would have been sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three would have been sufficient. According to Andy Wint on Mannin Line earlier there are 6 people heading to Glasgow. Assuming that's Daphne and 5 security guards.

cheesypeas Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Why hasn’t every new build on the Island with a south facing roof, got a solar panel slapped on it? Edited November 1, 2021 by cheesypeas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Someone was asking about that and the reply was you do not need planning permission unless you live in a conservation area. How true this is I don’t know but it would make sense. My neighbour had panels put in and she reckoned it would pay for itself in about five years. I expect it depends on individuals and the amount of electricity that is used. That is what the salesman told her anyway 😃. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 There were pictures today in the Daily Mail showing hundreds of delegates in a queue to get in there was a 90 minute wait in cold and windy conditions and then they had to get through the I.D. and Covid checks.

Saves us a tank of oil during the summer. My point is that if you’re on a train in the UK, you can’t fail to spot hundreds of new builds with panels on. Should be a no brainier over here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeCurious Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Lets hope none of our delegates need an accessable venue. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-59128618 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building control more likely when it comes to energy use/efficiency edicts etc. Much like the uPVC v timber window frames in conservation areas, I'm sure planning will try to force the use of tiled PV units rather than big slabs to replace exisitng slate tiles in retrofits.

All you have to do is check the state of Glasgow Southside and you can clearly see where her priorities lie..... Ever noticed you never see Sturgeon and Janette Tough (aka wee Jimmy Krankie) in the same place? 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Blonde Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 So I've seen wee Greta getting all hysterical as she does (does she have any other tricks?) - but what is her solution, where is her plan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 This convention/ conference….whatever is going on for two weeks….how long are our lot going for..and why six ? The hotel bills will be astronomical as all the prices will have been put up as there will be a great demand, bit like T.T.week. The country that is causing more pollution than anywhere else is China and they are not there.. why don’t the participating countries agree to put large levies on Chinese imports until they toe the line that would stir them up to action. And why don’t the activists that are sitting on motorways go to China and demonstrat😚e . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
