The UK's energy severe transmission problem is best highlighted by the payment to Scottish wind farms in the last six months *not* to produce energy for nearly two fifths of their potential generation;

and you wonder why energy costs remain persistently high?

A dog and her robot.

Saga formed a relationship with the robotic vacuum cleaner, Rosie, after she dragged Saga's blue hippo across the floor during cleaning. Saga regularly brings Rosie toys followed by a nudge to play, tracks Rosie's cleaning path, and often sleeps next to her.
