    Hi all!
    I am new to the forum but not to the industry. I have been working as an intaller in the south east for the last 5 and a half years doing predominantly PV and Thermal with a few GSHPs, Wind Turbines and biomass boilers thrown in for good measure. I am currrently doing an electricians NVQ and working in London. Just found this forum and thought it looked like it would be really useful. Hopefully I can learn from you lot as well as help those in need of any info.

    Tim

    Seconded. :bigsmile:

    Just watch out for the Cornish faction though. You'll know them when you see them. They're a sort of washed-out pink colour from spending so much time on the beach drinking tea.

    Welcome Tim, this is a pretty good place for unbiased information as a rule. You do need a sense of humour at times, though!

    There used to be a say that 'down every mine you find a Cornishman', seems that every PV installation has one connected to it now.

    Did you hear ST, that Cornwall may be about to see a new rush for Indium mining in the near future, plus other "exotics" spin off. The Cousin Jacks will be after independence soon.

    Not sure about a bird, but there is a theory that that a cat can be in two states and that one electron can be everywhere.
    All a load of nonsense, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck, got Ockham to thank for that. :wink:

    Ockham and his razor never encountered an angry duck in a state of quantum superposition, labouring under the dead weight of half a cat...

    No he didn't, possibly because it was too complicated to grasp. :wink:
