Central Heating - on yet?

[Webbo2]

Im still in Y fronts, although the 55 year old layer of inch thick residue radiates warmth like a mini compost heap.

I thought most people gave up on Y fronts when they were old enough to have sexual relationships.

I cant get mine off. The doctor cant tell where the Y fronts end and I begin.

I've got one of those units, only goes out if she can sun herself
My other unit likes to get wet, but doesn't like to be dried before jumping on my bed.

Awh xxx At the moment, my unit also has a secondary app running - namely the "Guard the Tomatoes" app.

I'm still no closer to understanding why people are looking to over ride a thermostat on a seemingly randomly chosen date, I suspect I never will.

Many of us don't have thermostats which are positioned in the best place and reliable. I don't think I have ever loved in a house where I could really rely on a single, central, thermostat to keep all the house at a comfortable temperature.

Particularly given that almost all modern radiators will have thermostatic valves, so central thermostats aren't always even present at all. We do have ne in our house, but it is near the bottom of the stairs, on the wall between the kitchen and the hallway. I don't even know if it actually works. It is probably set to something high, on the assumption the radiator valves will control the actual temperature, on a room by room basis. Just had a look at iuit, and it is set to about 18. It *might* just be that low in the hallway when the rest of the house is at a comfortable temperature, but I doubt it.

However, if the heating is on, it will be heating *some* water and pumping it round the pipes, even if the radiators aren't actually getting warm. So we turn it off when it is warm enough to not need it, and back on when it starts feeling too cold.

Please note with a condensing/pressurised system you must top up from the 'fill loop' if you bleed radiators.

Yep. We had that in the last house. The fill loop was normally only connected at the inlet end (the other end was so close behind the front panel that you couldn't get the panel on with it connected), and we had to connect it first before opening the valve to top up.

Really?

Why?

Really?

Why?

Because they stop letting their mothers buy their underwear?

That isn't a reason.
