Why bother with muscles, just have your brain, floating in a glass jar?

Exactly! It seems your system is working exactly as designed to work, but has a bit of a limitation in use, which we have both tried to explain above. WB cannot help you.

Your boiler needn't actually provide any heated water, into the radiators, in that case. So long as the boiler stat setting is high enough to heat the water in the cylinder itself. Your boiler would only seem to have one manual flow temperature setting, which has to be shared between the CH...

Doing a fair bit of guessing here, as I'm no expert on boilers.... The 27C setting is maybe for your CH temperature, and that is the temperature of the water it is trying to heat your cylinder with. Setting it to 59C may prove to be the solution you need, but will be too hot for the CH in the...

If the water in the cylinder is not hot enough, then try adjusting the cylinder thermostat up and down - you should hear it click on, and off, at the temperature it believes the cylinder is. They are not very accurate, +/-10C, but it will give you an idea whether the stat has failed. As the...

Matt Damon also did it, and survived alone for months there.

I got three here, plus two beef pies in the freezer :-)

It's no real faff, just a few minutes each year, and in many cases some of the best deals to be had, can be found (though not always) on the compare sites. The worst possible deal, is usually to let a contract run on, after the introductory discount. For instance, my original partner used to...

Grab it, what's to think about? Look for another job, nearer to where you will live - it's no fun and expensive, unpaid commuting. Lots of charities will help out with the basics, to get you going, then buy what you need on top.

Which translates to - you lack the mental capacity, to spend just a few minutes per year, to save yourself thousands of pounds in your bills. Does that attitude follow on into your work, and business ethic?

The 'test', these past couple of weeks, was a test of a range of essentially new hardware. The world, and hardware has moved on considerably since 1969, but even back then, they carried out numerous hardware tests, before progressing to an actual landing. Testing of new hardware, is absolutely...

Only a fool just pays what a service supplier requests, without checking. You show yourself to be the forum fool, repeatedly.

This morning, yet another appointment. I already had a phone call appointment, for 'pre-assessment', but now they also want to add a F2F pre-assessment, in hospital. I got the same appointment, 3x over, via the post, sms, and email all at the same time. Phone call Tuesday, F2F Wednesday.

The ceiling rose, lamp holder, and flex, will likely only be rated for 6amps, so I would suggest a 5amp fuse to protect those.
