It still amazes me that when slavery was abolished the country compensated the unfortunate rich people for their losses and was still paying back that debt for some time

I think ( though not sure ) the big possible crisis spends you mention would involve more borrowing.
Was pandemic spending put on countries credit card and if so when will it be paid off?

Or poor communities, low expectations, failed by the school system . Also alcohol often plays a part but we don't like to talk about it

These are money in versus money out finances but ignoring the massive debt we have as a country I presume?

Thank You. It was sorted out yesterday evening. The process was just far more long winded than I expected. But everything is ok now

I did wonder if this was a Ratner moment

How can it take so long to acknowledge a cancellation?

I really like the idea of a heat pump.
Octopus are great as an energy company so tried an install with them.
The process hasn't been great and the proposal proved impossible to implement.
I wish it had worked out.
Sent an email to cancel, as that is how we have corresponded.
Still waiting.

I can see pelican like birds as dinosaur like but not cute little goldcrests

I could be wrong but I think the idea is that birds are related to dinosaurs, evolved from some form of dinosaur?

I get 'not trustworthy' vibes from Wes, maybe nothing but I wonder....

@octopus.energy Hi. I wanted to have a heat pump installed but the system proposed by octopus wasn't possible so I had to cancel but have yet to receive confirmation of the email I sent requesting cancellation.

A review from the guy would have been interesting.

Brilliant.
Also the clues on Bull's Eye are very like the news clips I see of his speeches, misleading, could be taken to mean several things, lead to something or absolutely nothing.

Is that the 'wild' cows or the ones humans pen up in small fields, often with calves, that humans then walk through with their dogs?
Not sure I would swim through a shark tank with my pet fish on a leash.

Sorry I quite like cows and sharks.

It was a long time ago, so only small combines. They broke down regularly, so much sitting about in hot fields while stories were exchanged of limbs or fingers lost by this person or that one - while a side panel was open and machinery prodded hopefully.
*Shudder*
I preferred milking cows

Thank You. This is quite amazing. Is there anywhere I can read up on this in more detail in the same clear way you presented it? A book written for non scientists maybe?
