Husband, father, Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Evertonian. Often not sure in which order though. Sometimes talks sense about the electricity generation sector, likes old power stations (but obviously not the stuff they put out into the environment).

@EarthOrgUK I just received this from Octopus.
