LOT20 - just thought id start a rant

[suffolkspark]

LOT20... what an absolute joke

that is all....

It is , when they get the usage down they just put the energy prices up.
It takes what it takes to heat an area depending on the construction and insulation.
The standing charges are a joke too.

anyone know what the OP is on about?

 

[telectrix]

rhought we were getting out of the bloody EU.

 

[ruston]

Aye new legislation from the EU on heating appliances.

 

[telectrix]

anyone know what the OP is on about?

EU directive on reducing heaters to the power of a candle to save energy. they won't provide overcoats though.

ah ha

So that's like limiting the power of vacuums .......... so cleaning will take longer

So thats like limiting the power of kettles ............... so boiling water will take longer

So no power saving ...............................

Anyone think the EU come up with these, to be quite frank, daft ideas, just to keep themselves busy ............

As we want to trade with the EU after we leave, whatever we want to sell, will have to comply with EU Regulations.

That's ever so slightly misleading........

If we want to sell products to the "other" 6.5 billion people, such products won't have to comply.

Yes, but we would also be able to sell the items that do comply with the rest of the world.
So manufacturer’s can either produce one model that can be sold anywhere, or two.
One that can be sold anywhere and one that can only be sold outside of the EU.

and the reverse is also true.we should have a UK regulation that vans don't rot away in 10 years. that'd upset mercedes.

I have noticed lately,its finally being brought home to so many politicians and people that fantasy and reality are very different despite promises they are not

Its starting to become a " I told you so" smug feeling watching the debacle that is the negotiations to leave and what it actually will mean when we do leave the comfort of the EU

 

[telectrix]

comfort my arse. that's akin to the harold shipman care.

Yes ......... then its a commercial decision for the manufacturer ......

There is nothing saying that ALL products, for sale around the world would need to meet EU standards.

The UK used to be really good at "badge" engineering so its not too difficult to produce slight variants of products....
