[QUOTE=jambutty]The government is trying to encourage people to be ‘energy conscious’ in their homes and save energy. Yet it was announced on the news today, that Buckingham Palace will be floodlit from dusk to midnight with low energy floodlights for the duration of the Queen’s reign so that tourists can view the building. The sop to saving energy being the low energy floodlights. Low energy lights or not they still use energy without just cause.

Tourists travel half way round the world to see Buck Palace - and jambutty would like to see "office hours only viewing! "

"The government is trying to encourage people to be ‘energy conscious’ in their homes and save energy." These were YOUR words jambutty, the Government is "trying to encourage" which is entirely different to enforcing with legislation. If you feel so strongly about wasting electricity, why are you running your PC? No tourists would spend thousands of £££££££££'s to view your computer - unlike Buck House!
