Or is that why the TVs are 'all' on... to be choreographed? THAT would make sense, though if it was/is the case, it was not made very clear in the slot.<br /><br />I actually quite like some of the EST's stuff, but it is but one quango overlapping scores of others, when one, central government site would suffice... and be a site less confusing.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550976834509947355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-39655956221751231302009-10-06T10:16:09.971+01:002009-10-06T10:16:09.971+01:00Peter,

Let's wait and see what the results are before passing judgement.<br /><br />On the EST, yes, I do agree. The entire website is actually dedicated to consumer products, insulation, glazing and light bulbs. If anyone thinks that they will find advice on, for example, what solar products they ought to be looking at, they are going to be disappointed. Go to the EST website and click on the 'Energy Saving Products' tab if you want to check this out.<br />D.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379403055059991769noreply@blogger.com
