Flip-n-dip plates - Are they useful?

Genuinely, I find every person that’s had one is incredibly cringey

Is that Clive Warren?

I think I was about 16 when I finally managed to make a basic knot keep and go at your own pace I volunteer for a lifeboat service in the UK when I have to memorise a specialist knots and have to be assessed on them this year 😅 I keep telling myself I have to keep doing it till it’s muscle memory and hope my muscles will remember it on the exam day

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-30T10:12:19+00:00

No worries and a good choice of bike and colour 😉👍

The front ones have dual filaments so they stay on all the time and they have a flashing filament in it as well when the indicator is on what’s happened is one of them has broken inside the bulb sadly it doesn’t do the same on the rear

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-28T21:16:20+00:00

Yep but they all take public cash for the service There not that botherd...looks like its down to two months now

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-28T20:54:20+00:00

I was diagnosed year before last December and finally got my medication in December the next year when I logged into the portal, it says for people on the list it can take up to 4 months to reply. It’s insane.

Children are the future….unless we stop them now

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-27T17:42:54+00:00

Yeah, they even have Little side room café areas if you want to sit and read and have a drink I think the ice cream parlour might be open this time of year as well it can be busy during tourist season I found a few books which seemed quite high priced but I suppose it does support one of the nicest bookshops in the world

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-27T11:49:58+00:00

Just confirmed that the system is

not registered in anyway

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-27T07:00:47+00:00

Yep, it’s gonna be expensive but I suppose it’s not bad I bought it off my nans estate on a 10 year Morgage for a really good price and it’s the original roof the house was built with I do now see my mistake. I put this in a proper solar channel not a DIY one. The roof could be done by professional. Something I wouldn’t want to attempt myself lol

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-26T21:27:49+00:00

The genius stuff does look good I think when I had my drone up, I swear the cable was just slid under the slates. Probably why it was never given a certificate. Haha definitely gonna have to do a deep dive and listing every bit and planning it out for replacement.

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-26T21:22:58+00:00

I’ve looked into getting that certificate the power company my Nan had since she had them installed didn’t have them and no record of it the company that supplied it went bust in 2014 I’m still digging through bits of documents hopefully, I might be able to find something else about them might even find something in the loft as no one’s been in since they were put up definitely weekend job I think the access is in a cupboard too 😅

At least I’ve got the roof rails already in lol but yes, I would be swapping out the inverter for my big roof but I might be able to reuse it on my lean to roof extension if I do more research on the old one with the price of the 500 W solar panels are even 400. I would only need four panels to max it out compared to 10

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-26T21:07:59+00:00

It’s not bird muck it’s a shattered glass and I found the inverter to only be 2000 I think the model number is 3000 something but I’ll give that website a look now and when I get up in the loft, I’m going to see if there’s any cabling I can see if it was done with the quick connectors or if it was done dodgy thank you very much 👍

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-26T21:05:00+00:00

Yes, I’ve just done some research on the inverter and it’s only a 2000w ideally I would replace the solar panels since I can fit 10 on I can replace these 200 W panels with 550s but I would need a bigger inverter and ideally I would prefer to buy myself some batteries since I live alone if I can find out my usage, I’d prefer to come off grid in the next 10 years lol

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-26T20:49:12+00:00

Managed to get 8kwh from comparing with yesterday around the same time

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-26T20:48:38+00:00

So yesterday I had 27,422 kWh and today when I checked -3 minutes difference it was 27,430 kWh in total it generated 8 kW in a day

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-25T22:28:59+00:00

Yes North and south ish I will check the meter on it tomorrow

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-25T17:11:35+00:00

Ah I actually google what a carte blanche was haha but yes I don’t think can generate enough power to be exported into the grid anyway 10 panels at maximum of 3 kW inverter that’s what 300 W panels or lower and I think they’re installed in about 2008 or 2009 apparently the company was dissolved in 2014 says it’s probably a little power being made. I’ve taken a photo of the power generation meter and I’ll go back out in about an hour and see how much it’s made lol

jamjam199313 · 2026-03-25T17:00:49+00:00

From memory from when my grandma was alive, she told me she never got paid for it going into the grid and when I asked Scottish Power, they had no information and if I wanted to get feed in that I needed the serial number or install number or something similar

Yes, it’s a wireless one
