Piff, Groupon generally have a deal or two for NF, and sometimes other places, might be worth a look?

I suppose if they are hard to see they can't be such a blot on the landscape.

But then the environmentalists decide they don't like wind turbines either, so where TF are we supposed to get our power from? As I have long suspected there appears to be a lunatic element driving the environmentalist movement that won't be happy until we are all living in mud huts.

You are probably aware that in the Old Country we are being encouraged to use smart meters to monitor our real time use and reduce consumption/bills accordingly.
