Appendum to UK Power Generation

[Jethro_uk]

A few years ago, there was a story about engines for Vauxhalls (IIRC) being made in Australia, and shipped to the UK. I couldn't believe this was cost effective ... however, one of my customers worked in shipping, and said that for very large quantities (10,000+) booked well in advance, and with a properly manifested ship (i.e. with something to leave the destination port full with) then cost per unit could be quite small. Factor in exchange rates and it can be cheaper.

Although I still can't understand why lamb is such an expensive meat, when the fields near me are littered with the things ... and why from New Zealand ....

British land values, and the way that New Zealand lamb is, or at least used to be, a waste product of their wool industry.

Lamb isn't all that expensive, though, unless you compare it with intensively reared pork or chicken prices in the butcher's shop.

I've just started experimenting with putting an Adsense advert on the non-content bits of my website (the autogenerated and main index pages). In three weeks I've had 5p so far. Maybe because I put them so they scroll off the bottom of the initially displayed page...

My weather and lead acid battery type finder have had Adsense Adverts fo= r quite a while, read years. I've had one =A350 payout. I'd login and see =

when that was and what my current balance is but fing Google have broken= their website and want me to download Chrome. Do they have a version for= OS/2?

I think how much you get from Adsense depends on how sneaky you are at "hiding" the ads within you main site content and how many you place. Mine are in the header and footer so obvious as ads.

Ads are one way, a PayPal "donate" button and suggested amount is another.

has a lot of the history how humanity learned to produce and use nuclear energy. We need more nuclear energy and no coal and fracked gas.
