RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2022 For those below and others that I haven't been able to contact. @Gwiwer @iL Dottore @TheQ @tetsudofan @polybear @BoD Glad to be back. FYI I opened a Facebook group called 'The Diversion Line' for those missing their daily dose of RMweb. I opened it only a few days ago and it will remain open for another week or two and then I will archive it. If you haven't joined please do although it will soon be defunct it will be there if RMweb was to go down again. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't even managed to get it to log in after much more than 50 attempts (E.on) It keeps throwing me out with: I can see a lot of aggro towards the power companies tomorrow when people haven't been able to enter their readings on time. 19 minutes ago, PhilJ W said: I have a smart meter, just as well as its impossible to read my gas meter where it is. Smart Meter users are recommended to note their readings, ideally a smart phone photo with time & date tags, as there are expected to be many errors in billing.

Not a chance, it would appear that their website just can't cope with the numbers doing the same. I did mine 2 weeks ago Warren. This resulted in my monthly payment now being double what I was paying last October. Have now instigated increased energy saving measures by turning thermostat down and cutting down on the hours the heating is on and wearing warmer clothing if necessary. Up until now the weather has been warmer which has helped a lot but today it's been a bit wintry and we've even had a couple of snow showers inbetween the sunny periods. Mustn't grumble though as there are people in the world with no heating, water, food and having bombs and shells lobbed at them which rather puts things here into perspective.

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2022 On our last bill we were £360 in credit, and they wanted to increase our monthly payment....err no! An odd day here, started very cold but sunny, got out quite nice this afternoon, so I worked on outside jobs. Quite a few have been completed during our enforced 'lockdown' of RMW. Some folk here have been making a stink on faceache about the fact we have 20 in hospital with covid, the CEO has pointed out most of them are actually in for other things, and happened to test positive on admission - not being aware they were positive. (so much for doing LFT's before they go...pah). We've got to get on living with it folks, just like measles or flu. 6 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2022 My energy bills are in credit but not as much as NHN's. After claiming back some of the credit from last year I was keeping an eye on it so that I could ask for a reduction in the payments. The current price increases have knocked that on the head but I should not have to pay much more if anything at all. 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iL Dottore Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I really like @TheQ and @Tony_S new Avatars. There’s something about Ben that makes me want to open the treat box for him (I have a green plastic box in my home office which contains lots of very “high value” dog treats – such as duck breast fillet and the like. Lucy has learned that when I am wearing headphones [which means I’m in a teleconference] she can beg The dog treats with a guaranteed 100% success rate). I wonder if he is a “cuddly“ dog, some dogs like cuddles, some dogs hate them and others will put up with them for treats. Dinner tonight will be a Japanese style curry with beef flank that has been cooked for 24 hours sous-vide. Cooking the toughest meat sous-vide for anywhere between 12 and 24 hours certainly is a guarantee of incredibly tender meat at the end of the cooking. I shall try not to indulge too much! Have a great evening iD 12 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz You are correct. I’ve just had a look back at my thread and there seems no rhyme or reason as to which images are showing and which aren’t. Hopefully it may just be (apart from the last year, which we know about) that the database is still being repopulated/rebuilt. 1 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inevitably, but the challenge is in not dying from it, rather than living with it. Measles is almost entirely preventable*. Locally, influenza cases are rising but they were effectively zero over the last couple of seasons due to CoViD pandemic measures. * Two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles; one dose is about 93% effective. (US CDC) Here (in Oregon) our CoViD case count has declined to the point where it was in mid-July 2021 before the SAR-CoVi-2-Delta was encountered - which is certainly encouraging. For some reason not entirely clear to me, daily fatalities continue to be robustly high (almost 20 on average) where at mid-July they averaged much fewer (2). The UK has consistently been a reliable bellwether for the progression of the pandemic in the US. I continue to peruse John's data with interest. 8 3 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
