Your lunaticometer needs recalibrating. Try adjusting the top-end to
'Des', & you'll see that WUN & TOG are in fact perfectly sane.

If he took a couple of weeks of work I'm sure he could drive it back.

With a cheery toot and a purtle of throttle, TOG will be rolling down

FFS. It's about 100 miles: five hours in an Ape, and I can't use
motorways. So trailer. The Silver Tuddy should be back with me on

Hmmm. It's a logarithmic scale, surely?

So, even allowing that Des is the equivalent of a closed circuit on
your multimeter, I think TOG and WUN definitely register properly.

What units are we working in, anyway?

I've been watching that one for days, but with only 300 miles up, my

I think that varies according to your circumstances. I'm currently
using one second of kitten activity as one unit. So TOG would rate
around 15 kitten-seconds, WUN about 11 kitten-seconds. Des would be a
good 12 kitten-hours.
