    Some of the arctic ice is floating, but not most of that over Greenland.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The initial question doesn't actually describe a realistic situation. If you fill a glass with ice cubes, then fill to the brim, the ice cubes will tend to float and at least some will poke up above the level of the rim. If truly filled with water then, when the ice cubes melt, water will...

    Given the wet and coastal nature of Wales, how about water sourced? The Royal Festival Hall was heat-pump heated for a while. First link is about how it started. The second points a finger at the TORIES for removing it. Almost seventy years and we are only just getting going. Don't know, but I...

    Whilst it is true that is what was on the paper, the meanings of both options were taken with the background of what had been discussed, said, even promised.

    Unlikely to be achievable on current terms, and without having to join the euro.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The circumstances have changed. Dramatically. No-deal was not what was talked about in 2016.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How is water heating implemented with ASHP? I assume we end up with hot water cylinders again. Direct electric heating at the outlet might have been preferable, at least for hand washing. With a combi-based system, we seem to waste so much water running until some heated water comes through...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Precisely what I found. I cannot believe that the campaign is anything other than pure propaganda. We have already heard numerous companies, in the form of owners, managers, etc., interviewed answering with "we still don't know what to do". That is despite many of them following the guidance...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The HoC has often been at variance with the electorate. One example being capital punishment. Quite often, the HoC has very clearly been against while the electorate would (most likely) have voted for. The difference with brexit is the referendum - not the clash of views. Just why should a...

    Yes - if you are involved in international trade.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Many years ago, I had an oil burning boiler (replaced solid fuel). The noise was far greater than I had expected. Grew used to it, and it wasn't actually horrible, but I'd rather have less noise, please.

    Leadsom also under fire, whether valid or not: The business secretary, Andrea Leadsom, has come under fire after it emerged she did not speak to Thomas Cook executives during increasingly frantic talks between the company and the government leading up to its collapse last week. Records of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Oddly, I have heard there is a major campaign, but have seen almost nothing of it. I obviously don't read the right sources. (Yes, have seen bits on gov.uk.) And, other than stocking up, it is actually difficult to know what to do to prepare.

    What BJ and co seem to be missing is that for centuries the highest court of the land was the House of Lords sitting in judgement. That this became the SC was a choice but does not (should not) affect their status. Now we see: On Saturday night, Johnson signalled that he would again challenge...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having only driven on non-Welsh motorways on one day in the past six months or so, I have not seen the matrix signs flashing "Leaving on October 31". (Welsh signs seem to show the time when not actively being used for their usual purposes. An odd difference as English ones were usually blank.)...
