From an @englishheritage.bsky.social FB post this morning. We were on the same spot a month ago. It seems they've had some rain since... www.facebook.com/englishherit...

Copied from EH post this morning:
A camera person filming 2 men standing in the battlefield at Battle Abbey.
There is green grass in the forground

My photo of the same location a month ago.
All the grass looks very brown and parched.

Sure, it's a bad look - but what do you expect from Aldi? The whole point of Aldi is that it does *not* do customer service. You get cheap stuff, and the price you pay is *no* customer service. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S

Only 1.2% of RNLI calls are for asylum seekers in the Channel — red poster arguing that cancelling RNLI donations equates to saying "I hate migrants... I'm willing to jeopardise the lives of the other 98.8% of rescues," followed by the sarcastic "Lovely people, right?"

Hey UK #energy people - an organisation I’m working with has been quoted £12k to have the gas supply removed and capped after they switched to heat pumps. Any suggestions for how they might avoid these charges? @richardlowes.bsky.social

The situation is that our school is seeking to permanently disconnect gas due to the site now being fully electrified (post our decarbonisation works).
The gas supplier has quoted £12K (£9,412.63 (excluding VAT)) for removal of the meter and disconnection at the mains connection in the pavement outside the school. Capping off the piping at each end included. It does not include removal of the pipework in the ground.
We have queried the high cost as we understand the meter removal and capping off connection in the plant room is only about £800 of the cost. The answer back was that "Our quotation is it disconnect and abandon the gas service pipe at its connection with the parent main, as indicated on the attached plan as
"Disconnection Point".
We will not remove any abandoned pipework; that is left in the ground and once abandoned, the site is free to do with as they wish."
The contractor also quoted "The disconnection must take place at the location indicated on the attached plan as this is a requirement of the Network Owner, the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and IGEM/TD/4."

Mini waterwheel produces enough power to, in theory, supply multiple homes

These crop marks are a well-known phenomenon; we always get such stories with periods of dry weather. So do archaeologists make a point of doing aerial photography whenever there's a dry spell? It would seem like a good idea to make the most of the opportunity... 🤔
