In reference to your initial post, you are complaining that Buck Palace is being flood-lit between Dusk and Midnight. Am I correct so far?
Not quite Busman747. My complaint is that Buckingham Palace is floodlighting the building whilst the government is asking us to conserve energy.
Dusk to Midnight is presently around 6 hours. Is this also correct?
Yep!
So it would be fair to say that your complaint is that Buck Palace is using electricity outside of office hours and for an approx period of six hours in the evening.
No! That is not what I stated. My complaint is that Buckingham Palace is floodlighting the building whilst the government is asking us to conserve energy. It has nothing to do with when it happens.
Your complaint that I quoted you of using the words "office hours" is totally unfounded as it was my way of describing what I interpreted from your post.
Now if you read what I wrote instead of interpreting it, you might have grasped what I was stating.
- - - and to tell an Accywebber to "stick your nose out" on a forum that is there to discuss opposing views is just a tad rude do you not think?
Yup! But so was your If you feel so strongly about wasting electricity, why are you running your PC?

“Stick your nose out” is the opposite to “stick your nose in”. I have no idea where it originated and quite frankly I don’t care.

Now if you want to continue to split hairs, be my guest but as far as I’m concerned you will be talking to yourself.
