General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Cool. As a tenant I'll finally be able to take advantage of solar power without having to beg my landlord to have it fitted.

This is cool. I have an external plug in the back, so I could presumbly buy one and plug it on my patio and by magic I'll get paid for it or something?

If you have an old meter, possibly. If you have a newer one you'll get nothing, unless you tell your energy company who will buy the energy at ~50% the price they sell it to you for.

My meter is pretty old (not smart, no different pricing for different times, just some dials), so I might be in luck.

Not all old meters wind back, good luck brother
