I think the way things are going you need two forms of heating as things are so unreliable in today's markets, we have two and a 3rd for a backup. Life is hard at -15deg for prolonged periods 😵

Make sure you have manufacturers installation book as in the back they should have filled out the benchmark part with all the tests and info.

Cardiac arrest was a song by Madness :vb-biggrin:

I may still have it in my collection

I suppose you are going to say "Get an electric shower fitted", well, yerp, but it don't work so well for disabled peeps. Many need to sit in a special chair in a bath.

Playing devil's advocate here, a thing I normally never do, if you do not have a tank with an immersion heater in it, and the gas boiler stops working, how can you get hot water? I say this as this happened to us last winter, as you will recall...

...that following the departure of the CH engineers from hell yesterday their boss called this morning to ask how I found the new system. He was dismayed to hear my opinion of his minions and my disappointment in their general demeanour towards...

The problem is that when we had the car park done our, at the time son in law, a builderer, put loads of scalpings down then compressed them with one of those machines, before laying gravel down. It was fine for years. BUT there was one corner he...

Sounds worth watching. I do seem to remember seeing him doing something about fishing. He always had a very cool delivery, but natural, didn't get over excited. but then I must have only seen about arf a dozen things he did. Couldn't even name...

In the vid he slides all over it, very energetically. It looks like he was about to have a cardiac arrest by the end !

It was the R17. The Opel Manta was bought as a stop gap for £25, with a bad oil leak from the timing belt cover and front brakes with pads worn to the metal. Went on a 2 week holiday to Cornwall, drove around each day as it rained all the time...

Today's plans got a bit disrupted. "Er indoors was to got to M&S to collect something and I was to set off in me tratter an hour later, we would meet up at where I store me tratter while I am away (off to the sunny isle tomorrow). And she would...

Just the start be in full swing for the next month from cabbage to coriander and basal to beetroot when world war 3 starts we will say never mind business as usual 😉

Reporting in late. Yesterday afternoon I took the Rangie for its MOT. Totally clean on emissions. Mr. Tapley was happy with the brakes and all the lights and horns work. So a clean pass with no advisories. :D

Morning All. :D Couldn't sleep so got up instead. :( Have a good day. :D

Two of the hardest weeds to get rid of good luck 😯 1 year seed 7 years weed

I have the complete set of "Out of town " good watching in winter to keep yourself motivated, did you know he was not a farmer and never had been 😮

Thanks mate, the freezing method is what we will use!! If we tried to dry them they'd prolly just rot! 👍 👍 👍

The normal way to preserve any type of bean is to dry them ,but with green beans in the pods , we normally blanch and freeze but only pour boiling water over them to keep them crispy if you over Blanche thay go a bit limp and soggy, also we have...

We have it here right now. Not really bad yet, but enough to force me to turn the WiFi off. So I am paying to chat to you!!!

Promised fundy etc, still waiting. Some steady long term rain would be welcome, seagull poop is a git to shift when its dried on.

He's certainly persistant.. but adorable.. Bit like a pet tapeworm. Nice fred all the same, good peeps ere.

Storm building up outside, flickers of lightning in the distance.

I'd give it 2 or 3 spanners on the Haynes scale (out of 5), quite simple to do but fiddly. The glued joint will outlast the rubber, the secret is to keep the joint spotlessly clean and don't get any grease on it. The weakness is the same as on an...

I just thought I'd say I have just strung our onions. Never had to do that before as we have never had such a good crop! I used the Jack Hargreaves method. Seemed to go OK. We'll see! But what I would really like to ask is, do you have a...

And started by what would seem to be the most ardent Freelander supporter on here Says something about the freelander or "hippo" as you mud island people have named it

They, like sadly Opel Manta A series are getting rarer and rarer. I loved mine, it was the first car I ever did 100 mph in, and the faster it went the better it settled into/onto the road. Sadly a 4 geared one but still, and it was reasonably...

I found I had to go back to page 6000 just to get back to about this time last year. They really are popping on!:):):)

Bit like me when I have run out of beer and in a rush to get more 😂😂

Soon be 6789
