well, if it's heavier, it's harder to lift it up, so it stands to reason it costs more to deliver it. It's a well-known fact (at least, it would have been, yesterday morning) that metric electricity weighs more per kilowatt-hour than good old fashioned lightweight Imperial electricity, which is a mere couple of hundredweight per foot-pound-calorie, or something.

I have a fleeting suspicion dbd is tugging gently at your pedal extremities, in case the other one has bells on ;)

Hi,
one thing we didn't see when looking for a house in West Lethbridge, Alberta, was a house with a washing line in view. Being English and always enjoying pegging out our washing, can we do it in Alberta, or is it a banned activity?? We found out that almost all new build houses have a laundry included, washer and dryer. Not very eco friendly when you consider that Lethbridge has a very high "windiness" count. I believe it blows in from the Rockies on about 325 days a year. Something else we found out, was that to buy trees to form a wind break you need a very healthy bank balance! :huh:

I'm glad you posted this question, as it has crossed my mind. We're emigrating from the UK to Okotoks, AB next month and I'm packing my expensive fancy-pants pegs. I'm a housewife, and yes, I do iron duvet covers. :-) I'm also a bit of an enforced hippy when it comes to eco-stuff as I have asthma, allergies and sensitivities. My other question would be...can you grow a vegetable garden and keep a couple of hens in your back garden? or are there rules governing this too?

Why did you pick Okotoks out of interest?

I have been notified that a couple of people have left me PM's, but for some reason or other, access to them has been denied me. I use Gmail and these PM's are being "blocked". I've no idea why................
Thanks to all who have responded to my original post re washing lines, interesting stuff.
