Can remember meters taking a shilling, but not sixpence.

Think they've been successfully fleecing the Yanks for a while now with this one. I'm sure Big Clive has probably pulled one apart, there's not much he hasn't.

Yes is has, it was a couple of years ago IIRC.

Just read the testimonials and it It amazes me that Victoria from Birmingham pays for her energy in Euros! Also if it's good enough for Victor in his New Castle it's good enough for me!

The sad thing is some people would read the stuff on the web site, believe it, and try to order one. Reading the rest of the web site, I'm not sure if there really is anything actually for sale, or it is just a ploy to get your credit card details.

I've cancelled my 2 dozen at $48.40 each.

I'm going for 100 at $2 each.
Anyone fancy a group purchase for 1 million, I think we could make a killing with these.

I’ve just invented a device which will hoover up people’s carbon footprints.
Looks just like a Henry, but is 4 times the cost.

Sell it cheap but charge a fortune for the replacement bags, you'll make a killing on the return trade.

In this day and age when energy saving is so important to saving the planet, might one dare to suggest that, if this technology was as good as they say it is the government would be making installation compulsory a bit similar to the roll out of smart meters?
This tends to suggest that there might be a slight misrepresentation going on here in which case our friends in trading standards should be taking a closer look.

The more we save, be it by using LED lamps energy saving TV's and appliances then the amount of VAT the Government collects goes down as your bills are cheaper and you don't need to replace the lamps that often, they will screw you over in other ways as they need the revenue and the money coming in to their coffers to pay the "bills"

Could relate to here, well some points.

That's just a crappy little electrical theory tutorial, and, twice it mentions 'Carbon Removal' without any explanation.

Will someone please explain to me how one removes carbon from a circuit.
