Calcium uptake is strongly related to vitamin D - something which we as a country [1] seem to be low on. Milk was also an important source of iodine - partly from the use of iodophor teat disinfection, partly inherently. There has been, I believe, a switch by many to chlorine-based teat disinfectants, and a lower consumption of milk. We appear to be seeing lower iodine levels at least in younger females. Which might also be having its impact. [1] UK but especially Scotland. -- Rod |

The main problem is that it is on in the evening when the PV panels aren't working. My next user is the freezers though they are A++ rated. Used mostly for garden produce. I have fitted them with a timer to shut them off for part of the night, so they run more by day. I have turned the stat lower too.

Harry, you bring the mners into this as a 'standard defence' because you cannot even begin to comprehend all the other damage Thatcher did. You are blind to it, totally. Mines will close and always did as workings became more dangerous. Mines did not fall into disrepair during the strike, even in areas of 100% support safety inspections were carried out underground every single day. Some workings became impossible to rework because mining often needs to be a continuous process with a carefully managed advance or retreat. Stay still and you lose millions in equipment. Even in areas with 100% strike support miners went underground to preserve workings. The miners were by far the most mobile industrial workforce of the past 150 years. Harder working and exposed to more danger than in a great many professions. Highly skilled, mobile, dedicated, flexible, innovative. The UK exported advanced mining technology to the world. It wasn't just about miners, it wasn't just about unions, it wasn't just Scargill. Thatcher destroyed an industry, destroyed entire communities, she dismantled advanced combustion research projects, handing the technology on a plate to the Americans and the Japanese. Thatcher inflicted mortal damage on an entire country, in 11 years she did more damage than any single person did in the past 1000. Her legacy is ignorant ****s like you that know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, ****s that grab more and more at the expense of others because they think its their absolute right, you are the very dregs of society Harry. Your type are a disgrace to the human race, pure scum. Now **** off and crawl under a rock you ugly little **** P.S. I am not a Trot you ****ing parasitic obnoxious retarded ****. -- |

The whole country is being screwed and smart meters are the one technology that *will not* fix it. If you'd suggested a time machine and an RPG fired into Downing Street on the afternoon of 4th May 1979 then you just might have been onto something. -- While Wilson/Callaghan were in power,around 300 coal mines closed While Thatcher was in power arond 150 coal mines closed. They closed because they were (near)exhausted and during the strike many fell into disrepair. During the strike, cheaper foreign coal was imported and continued to be imported ever since. So the miners helped to bring about their own downfall. Useful idiots to the likes of Scargill and half wit Trots like yourself. Half wits that propagate all the lies/fantasy they were indoctrinated with by their Trot/halfwit families. Harry, you bring the mners into this as a 'standard defence' because you cannot even begin to comprehend all the other damage Thatcher did. You are blind to it, totally. Mines will close and always did as workings became more dangerous. Mines did not fall into disrepair during the strike, even in areas of 100% support safety inspections were carried out underground every single day. Some workings became impossible to rework because mining often needs to be a continuous process with a carefully managed advance or retreat. Stay still and you lose millions in equipment. Even in areas with 100% strike support miners went underground to preserve workings. The miners were by far the most mobile industrial workforce of the past 150 years. Harder working and exposed to more danger than in a great many professions. Highly skilled, mobile, dedicated, flexible, innovative. The UK exported advanced mining technology to the world. It wasn't just about miners, it wasn't just about unions, it wasn't just Scargill. Thatcher destroyed an industry, destroyed entire communities, she dismantled advanced combustion research projects, handing the technology on a plate to the Americans and the Japanese. Thatcher inflicted mortal damage on an entire country, in 11 years she did more damage than any single person did in the past 1000. Her legacy is ignorant ****s like you that know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, ****s that grab more and more at the expense of others because they think its their absolute right, you are the very dregs of society Harry. Your type are a disgrace to the human race, pure scum. Now **** off and crawl under a rock you ugly little **** P.S. I am not a Trot you ****ing parasitic obnoxious retarded ****.

So why do we remember chants and protests in the street for the person who finished the job, but not for the person who started it? Because Thatcher removed it for small children first, in a previous Tory government. I think. No, the point you need to understand is that Wilson was a traitor to the Labour Party and an agent of the monetarists, and he started trying to weaken the trade unions. Hence all the strikes. Now falsely remembered as due to the strength of the unions, but really because of the attacks on working class living standards. A Tory figurehead had to be brought in to change trade union law, but only to continue the attacks Wislon and Callaghan started. And to bribe sections of the middle classes to support the plan. So it makes sense that Wilson started withdrawing milk from secondary schools, as long as you realise he was an early proto-Thatcher. Why do you think the press spent so much energy convincing the mugs they shouldn't vote for Foot or Kinnock? Probably because they couldn't be sure to be able to bribe them to follow the monetarist agenda. Who remembers now that the only solid thing the Sun could pin on Foot was that he wore an insufficiently conservative coat to the Cenotaph, but this was enough to get all the sheep to vote for the slaugherer! -- Percy Picacity |

[god: I can almost see you foaming at the mouth!] My dear chap: you're not talking about "miners", you're talking about "the working class" -- who, the world over, and from the dawn of time, will not work harder than they absolutely have to. And I *think* (I may be wrong) that this includes all those chaps higher up the pecking order who do their business on the golf course , or in the corporate hospitality seats at Wimbledon No wonder coal was expensive. Aye -- and it's so cheap nowadays! The whole business was about getting rid of the Tory party and Thatcher. Scargill had his orders and money from Moscow to try to achieve just that. Ballcocks. Like Thatcher, he was a small-minded power-nut: they absolutely needed each other. (Just as Thatcher also needed Galtieri.) More mines were shut down under Wilson than Thatcher. Y'know --- I never saw this "well-known" factoid until recently: it's clearly something the Tory propaganda machine has turned up. But whereas in the Wilson era pits were closed for (as has been stated) reasons of safety and viability, Thatcher went all out to destroy an entire industry, and with it the communities that were built around it. "Let them [get on their bikes and] find other jobs" - ???? It's exactly analagous to the anecdotal Marie Antoinette quotation about the poor eating cake. The present troubles of this country stem from Bliar and Brown-the- clown. Once again (as per Wilson and Calaghan) the socialists have f****d up the economy. Oh, no doubt, no doubt, old chap. The older I get, the more I realise that "the economy" is whatever the speaker wants it to mean. In your case: "I am not getting my fair share of money, because it's all been (and is being) given to those workshy *******s up North." We just have to hope Cameron is man enough to get us out of the latest load of Labour/war criminals' ****e. We actually need Maggie back. Oh we'd all love to know what you mean by that! Exactly HOW would Thatcher get us all out of this mess ... which by the way is a global mess, kicked off by Reaganomics, which basically seemed to mean "pay for stuff with money that you don't have": such a fundamentally WRONG philosophy that even Thatcher's own father would have told her it simply did not make sense.
