The parts Geoff needed apparently didn't turn up yesterday, and he
closed at noon today for 10 days. It's the same temperature inside the house as outside, but fortunately the weather forecast is for daytime highs of as much as 8C. |

But Germans pay 0.15 per kwH if you exclude 'other taxes' and vat, so Belgium and Eire have the most expensive power on that basis. And where is Switzerland if Norway is on the list ?. They used to import a lot of nuclear powered electricity from Germany. Switzerland imports nothing. Must have big cocao plantations then:-)?
