After struggling a long time of brainwashing propaganda within the type of public service advertisements which outlined the myriad risks awaiting anybody silly sufficient to plug issues into energy retailers, I take one have a look at Woo’s Plug and Participant and see a possible demise entice.
That is nonsense, nevertheless, because the system is each a) an idea and b) makes use of a euro-style plug, which implies it could not be used on Britain’s shores anyway.
