Me getting Ayrshire Argyllshire the wrong way

BBC Countryfile agenda
#1 Item Ponce Charles saving a stately home in Argyleshire
If this was what I was watching the "house" concerned is in Ayrshire. Home of the Dumfries family, including Johnny (John Colum Crichton-Stuart, 7th Marquess of Bute ) former F! driver. It is nowhere near Dumfries in Galloway. Just like many stately homes in the rest of the UK situated miles from the dukedom of the owner. The locals interviewed didn't speak with an Argyllshire accent.

Want to be a BBC Eco-warrior journalist in 2017? You can do it!
1) Pick random newsworthy event. Shoehorn in a climate angle.
2) Write story: Climate Change obviously behind newsworthy event as proved by you asserting it.. or cherry picking a voice.
3) Profit from Signalling Virtue
Eg BBC Radio 4 Home Correspondent report
"Here I am with the Cilgerran coracle net fishers but the River Teifi salmon and sewin stocks are drying up due to Climate Change"
Funny how news reports didn't mention Climate Change but said river pollution

Salesman just tweeted price of RedT
"Cost is $490kWh that is expected reduce low 300’s soon. Fully installed cost VRB is cheaper on 3 hours plus energy duration then lithium."
Bet Lead acid is cheaper

@Phil I spot a guy on Twitter loving solar but hating windfarms cos his job used to make capacitors for them
"Capacitors lasted 6 months, only outer can could be recycled, rest of large components went into toxic landfill."

Someone asked about ENEC wave power in Orkney making hydrogen.
Well searching twitter shows £20m+ in grants
Sustainable means paying back your grants.
Did windfarm biz ever pay back any grants ?
