The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
30 December - The outlook is gloomy
If you thought the weather over the past three months has been bloody awful
you would be right. My solar panels which have been recording their power
generation every 15 minutes since January 2011 show that October this year was
the worst performing October since 2020 when output was 20% lower. In every
other year October 2024 was beaten by between 20 and 50%.
November and December have been far worse than any other by a considerable
margin, even the next worst December (2021) beats 2024 by 25% and 2024 was two and a half
times behind the best, 2014.
November was much the same. Beaten by every one of the previous 13 years by between
25 and 55%. In practice I have had to pay Octopus Energy for electricity that
could have come from the sun and lost around £100 of Feed In Tariff. Maybe I
should have applied for a Bexley Box. (That is supposed to be a joke by the way!)
