    The most important industry

    I know in my own mind what I consider to be the most important industry that mankind undertakes, but I'm interested to see how quickly people on here can get to the same page. So, what do you consider to be the most important industrial activity and why? I shall reveal my own thoughts later.

    The future of solar production in the UK

    I think Barking and co now realise the industry can still make this work at 21p. Therefore he has decided to reduce the Tariff further to ensure he kills the industry off. He has already stated his targets for Solar energy production, which wouldn't have been achieved even with the take up at...

    This industry is becoming a joke. primarily focused on squeezing £ out of us

    The 2391 is noww to be replaced with the 2395 as the 2391 does comply with ammendment 1. No sooner do you pay all you fees does something else come along. I'm sick of it. How are you meant to make any money with membership fees, calibration certificates, multi-functional prices etc etc. All the...
