Nighed

The BBC has loads of recipes. No adds (in UK at least) and minimal fluff

I think I have only had 1 power cut longer than 5 mins in the last 15 years (SE England), it's not a big problem here. (Bigger issue in Scotland/Wales/Cornwall as they get bigger storms)

The grid already allows some areas to be cut off and others continue when there is a problem or lack of generation (see ZA load shedding for an extreme example).

I think what you are asking for is for the generation to be spread out so that everywhere is almost self sufficient, but can rely on others when they are not?

It's a nice idea, but I don't think it's feasible as the economies of scale make big power plants/big offshore farms more efficient. Generation will almost always be concentrated into a small number of locations. It's also much harder to balance load/demand on a smaller grid - if your street was a grid and had to operate off grid off rooftop solar for example how would it cope when everyone turns on the oven for dinner?

The bigger the grid the more resilient it is because it can cope with localised issues better.

You only need the transfer switch (expensive!) On your solar installation if you actually get power cuts.

Which makes the environmentaly friendly company more profitable - encouraging others to do the same.

As more and more companies do this, the number of credits can be reduced to increase their price and keep the total emissions on a downward trend.

If your going to bash him, don't do it for him playing computer games.

....there are plenty of proper reasons!

Building societies (similar to mutuals elsewhere?) Are not trying to get every last penny out of you so won't be tracking/selling that data. (Though their credit cards might?)

Not sure where the taking your money comes from?

Would a debt card from a non profit building society not be ok?

(Are building societies a UK thing only?)

I'm going to have to ask - why not just use a card?

Waitrose has it too.

The Sainsbury's scan on your phone app was great during COVID, no need to touch the scanners at all.

You normally get the first one hassle free, then get checked a few times after that. Once they know your reliably you get checked a few times a year only (or if you have a strange shop)

Since they tried to charge everyone extra card payment fees I have assumed their leadership were idiots....

I get why they are doing some of this, not sure how useful it will be. Couldn't you already have free content? Not sure that's actually new.

And wow, that has got to be the most unrecognisable logo ever. They are going to have fun trademarking that....
