The cost and overhead of raising donations typically includes the value of about 18 months of regular contributions received. Or at least it did for another charity I know about.

Perhaps it is running but not at full design capacity, so they want fewer hours of operation to make good the losses due to lock operation (and leaks) over a longer period afternoon and overnight. I seem to remember other drought years when they were using back pumping up the GU from Warwick area up to Napton and then to the Oxford summit - looks like Calcutt cannot manage the volume that the back pumping further down the hill can deliver at the moment.

Many go for the possibly simpler solution of using round pin sockets and plugs for 12V.

With a few exceptions...
