Tried to look at upright freezers (yet another drawer of our rather old Lec upright freezer has broken, and I'm not sure I want to buy spares, as I'd like a freezer that is a bit taller). So, popped into Comet (yuk, but it was nearest in Cambridge and several other places have closed recently)...
..Anyway, I laughed my head off at the stupid energy ratings on the freezers. There was a time when energy ratings went through the alphabet from A through to E (or something).
Now, though the, ratings charts look like this:
A++++ A+++ A++ A+ A B C D E
For heaven's sake, that's just f****** ridiculous. Why didn't the prats who invented the energy charts do so bearing in mind that in the future things would be better, and design them so that it take several decades for everything to "better than A"? Idiots...
