    @ DZ I am to be found more or less equidistant  from Southampton and Winchester most of the year..


    Lunar panels as described above do figure in the seminal work Wallace and Gromit: The curse of  the Were Rabbit, Ardmaan 2005 ;

    but I do not think that can be cited as a credible technical reference on this matter, on closer inspection there are numerous inconsistencies with the science in the work, not least a dog that drives and understands electronics.


    You may be amused to know that real lunar panels have also been proposed.
    Article at NASA   The idea is to have solar panels on the moon, and then a directed energy death ray  focused microwave beam to channel the energy back to earth.  

    There are some very good reasons this utterly hare brained   scheme has also yet to leave the drawing board.

    I think you need to be a bit more specific - Aberystwyth is more or less equidistant from Southampton and Winchester. I guess you mean between the two.


    I like your comments on the lunar panels, but the installation costs for the moon will be way in excess of the solar ones Clive is commenting on, presumably one of the 'good reasons' it is not off the ground yet - no pun intended.

    Like it Alisdair , equidistant.

    Would you need to drive in a 4` moon rod or would you avoid moonquakes?

     Icidentley I've got to go to Southampton hospital tomorrow my heart still isn't right so they want fettle it a bit more I'm scared but what can you do




     

    Good luck with it - no point telling you not to worry, you will anyway.

    Just keep reminding yourself you will be home for tea and sticky cakes after the MO stops fiddling about - they do know what they are doing, mostly


    Take it steady

    That's too easy - does it begin with a P or a W? ?

    No. think private sector, not MOD, and I did meant near equidistant, not "midway", but to limit the circles of confusion,  I do meet a few brave folk at work who cycle in from each of those cities. And others, like me who drive in from not so far away as either. I'm not keen to reveal much more detail on an open forum. Those who need to find me, can.

    They seek him here, they seek him there, those frenchies seek him everywhere, is he in heaven or is he in hell? that damned elusive Mapj1 Pimpernel!


    Fo a lot of years my other half (S W M B O) understood we were roughly similar distantish from Cornwall/Devon to London but could not quite get it why Devon/Cornwall were not "next Doorish" to London.


    Bit like I was having a friendly haggle with a pal over something. I offered £100 he wanted £200, he offered split the difference and I said OK I agree then £30 it is! What! he said. Well I ponted out that the difference was £100 and a split was not nessacarily £50/£50 it could equally well be £30/£70 therefore £30 was my opition. Naturally we acually settled on £150 and we were both happy. But it was fun
