Yes, those of us who live closer to Crammond than Carlisle will be enjoying mucho luminosity this weekend.

It stands to reason that Council Tax should be calculated on the number of sunshine hours pa.

a sensible policy for sensible people, having sipped an icy coffee, i propose...

t = n * 1 - h / 8784

...where

t = actual council tax due
n = nominal council tax before solar adjustment
h = hours of sunshine

Evening
Well my experience of Jockland today was a damp one. I felt some moisture in the air as I was walking Bertie. Then I was strimming the bramble jungle of a hillside at back daughters new house it started p!ssing down. Willie the builder said the forecast said it would only be a shower. So when it stopped daughter and my self went to trim some of the trees that growing over the garage roof only for it to start persisting again. As I couldn’t get any wetter I just carried on until the roof was branch free.
Now having had a shower, a brew and some toast I’m finally warm again and Mrs W wants to move up here😱

Do you want any public services at all in D&G?

Council tax areas where they have disproportionate sun will subsidise the ones that have less.
I like the idea of Kensington and Chelsea or Windsor or Margate* subsidising us, don't you?
I will call it the DLS v2 (Duckworth Lewis Solar version 2) calculation.

*lol. Margate is effing sh*t.

Ahh, a classic bit of regional policy, maybe the: put a sunhat on your Barnet formula?
