It's just another design for the fleecing shears.<br /><br />Sam - yet it is painfully unconvincing isn't it? That's what rubs me up the wrong way.

"I'm a clever sort of person who thinks about the world, and on the basis of that I've made some changes. They were a bit painful at first, but everything should be OK now if all do the same...".Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-66533645010019007742014-08-22T07:14:26.500+01:002014-08-22T07:14:26.500+01:00I remain agnostic on climate change but you are ri...I remain agnostic on climate change but you are right to point out that a few curly light bulbs and a Prius are there just for show, a feel-good factor.
