just joined!
security question was what colour are oranges? i put in "green". has anyone seen oranges growing? they are green! the computer does not know that!
wanted to answer a question on heat pumps. i have heated my house for almost fifty years with underfloor  heating by heat pump! house was a free church school, before the educatiion act. bare earth floor. primative?
i layed hundreds of empty bottles, as basic insulation to the floor, then "styrofoam", then concreet, then sweedish "wirsbo" pipes, then more concreete! could not get a british pipe with "agrimont?" certificate at that time!
working well, but on my fourth pump!
am in kintyre, south west scotland.
have an acre of garden. pride myself on earliest potatoes. use seaweed to grow them in! just like the original "jersy royals"
