How Not To Save The Planet .... Even If You Are A Thrifty Farmer

I saw this in the Sun today and had a giggle to myself.
A 77 year Old Fridge Apparently which has a maufacturers stamp showing it was made in 1931.
Mrs Maurenn Mace claims " We're thrifty farmers so whats the point in spending money"
Well let me tell you an energy A rated Fridge freezer uses about 50% less electric energy than one made 10 years ago, provided that the unit still works the same as it did when it was first used.
The average fridge freezer these days cost approx £38 per year to run.
Not sure I would Call that Thrifty.
I think someone should send round the Green brigade to this womans farm and really check out she carbon footprint.
Get a new one you silly mare your killing the planet.

Medium

The new series of Medium has started in the US so yes I have been downloading it and I have to say I love this programme.

Confused about Hd /Blueray

It Looks Like the Format war is over between Blueray and HD.
Warner Bros Have announced this week that from May all their Hd Movies will be released on Blueray Discs.
Finally a win for Sony shows that when you share technology it sells better.
In the early days of hd discs Philips acknowledged that Blueray was the better technology However at twice the cost it would have looked more likely to fail.
Sony not normally renound for sharing their technology have many things fail over the years the most famous being Betamax video, a better product than vhs but not shared technology like vhs.
So it's all steam ahead if you have a hd ready tv Blueray is the way forward best option is to buy a Playstation 3 at £50 more expensive than a standard player but with the benefit of being able to play games store music on the harddrive and full 1080p movie playback.
Dont worry if you have already got Hd dvds that are not blueray as most blueray player will play most hd discs too plus standard def discs.
Bring on the blue ray recorders.

Congratulations
