Jeremy Vine today, unusually cold and wet weather in Spain (including snow) is causing shortages of sprouts, broccoli, aubergines.

+1 vegetables not fit for human consumption shortage. I toast you Mr Hart.

You seem to be almost ashamed to take credit for what the British public are doing.
Your arrogance revealed again. As has been pointed out to you by several, it is not "what the British public are doing".
It is Gov't largesse with taxpayers' money extorted with the threat of gaol if one refuses to pay.
AK, do you repeatedly borrow money with no means to pay it back and then give the borrowed money to Venezuelans?

@Pcar Interesting info about Vicky Price

Why pick Costa Rica ?
When some hydro countries must be net exporters
Lesotho,Norway And Paraguay

Costa Rica 99% renewable electricity claim made on WS radio prog February 2016
Paul dealt with Fooc before and here
2015 99%
2016 98%
1980 100%
Solar wind is only 5%
It's almost all hydro ,so fossil fuels brought in when no rain.
Bet there's a drought sometime
As it is I bet some FF has been hidden
"In 2007 the government announced Costa Rica would be the first carbon-neutral country by 2021 "
No chance cos most of all energy is from FF
" country’s demand for oil is actually growing. Up 11% last year"

Not if you live in Spain, I came here as a climate refuge to get away from cold weather and it snowed for the first time since 1983. Where have my warm winters gone!

Claim Corps will save millions on meter readers.
The reality is that customers are already asked to enter readings online.
You'd send a man if patterns became abnormal but you'd have to do the same to check for smart meter tampering.

Gas and electricity prices going up.
One of the reasons given, is the cost of Smart Metering, which was being introduced to save money, allegedly.

BBC seems to still be infested with incest, swinging and other objectionable immoral sexual activities.
BBC "Jimmy crossed the line with necrophilia... we're good now" Ha ha, necrophilia is least bad compared to abuse of living people.
AK, looking forward to your obfuscated diversionary reply.
Oops forgot, defeated snowflake cry-bully AK refuses to debate with me.
AK, will you be joining the anti Milo riots with your anti-Trump supporters?
Riot is easy, ignore is childish, debate is what adults do.
