Where I live now, is far from the area I grew up, where I grew up was demolished decades ago - and no great loss. The overgrown village where I now live, has no 'swarthies', that I am aware of, and is designated a very low crime area. At the end of the street, used to be a general shop, run by I...

Likely, the installer has accidentally left the 24v link in place, in the boiler. The 24v allows the boiler to ignore the controls, and just run on the boilers own stat. Best not to interfere with it at all, just turn the boiler temperature setting down to a level which provides some background...

This morning, they delivered a post card invite, to a couple of meetings with the railway planners, about the ongoing upgrade work. Fine you might think, no problem there - except the meetings actually took place 3 days ago, which suggests RM simply sat on them for at least 7 whole days. I...

All were white, no large families, all families, apart from widowed ladies living alone.
