No it is a plastic one that has a plastic insert that also has all sorts of useful Chemistry, Physic and SI/Imperial/US unit interconversion information. It was a trade gift from BOC to my Dad that I acquired in 1962. In fact it must be 50 years old last year not 48!! It is now antique.

Every region and community will have to find a package of sources that fit the local conditions.I feel the UK is lagging behind with incentivising domestic energy generation. I have a large south facing roof crying out for solar panels....but it will take me 15-20 years to recover installation costs. I don't plan to be living here in 15 years ...so unless I can lump this cost onto the sale price, it's lost money. That payback sounds a little out of date Eric, the cost is plummeting day by day the moment. If you own them then free electricity would enhance the house value but whilst the cost is going down for new installations the value it adds to the house will also decrease.

As of yesterday the Average temp for Australia has been over 39C for the longest consistent period on record, and there is a good chance that the average temp will beat previous record set in 1972. The effect is potentially devastating with fires all over. A good many friends and some family are affected by what is happening in Illawarra and Shoalhaven, with the first ever catastrophic condition alert ever being issued in NSW issued in four suburbs today including these. As I write a number of good friends are out fighting fires, this is what climate change means in Australia, today was declared the most dangerous day on record.
