Taken from my fuse box main ac i/p over the last year or so. Not sure what changed mid-Feb 25? Midlands, UK

Sounds BS to me; source? What / who defines the exact dates of 'during the winter'?

Cheers all for the intel

Probably 20 years, think it’s the same boiler from when the house was first built

Noticed my ICOS24 boiler was dripping from the rear right area of the lower plate a few days ago. Isolated the power and called British Gas in to take a look. The engineer found the issue, a corroded plastic nut that holds the condensate drain rubber hose to the S-trap. I was amazed as to why...

No. Buy another bowl

Pics would be good but sounds like a non-starter. I would pull the lot down. How bad we the bits you can't see likely to be?,

In the three properties i have lived in over the last 20 years all have had outside taps on the rear wall and i have never bothered to turn off water or insulate them over the winter. They have never caused me an issue (yet)

No, had that for years. Drink from it on special occasions

A dram of this beauty

As you say, UV not an issue when it’s all buried in floorboards. I hear similar comments regarding speedfit/etc fittings for central heating. Used for 15ish years in all three of my houses I’ve owned and never had a problem.

If push fit is that crap, why the hell is it sold? I did my bathroom sink and shower waste with push fit a few years back and it has been fine so far…

Your favourite pair of Chaps?

Just buy one of these (or similar): Netgear GS308 Ethernet Switch Then put the ethernet csble 'through' it, any 2 ports will work. When unpowered there wont be a connection between the two cables, when powered there will. Put the AC power for the GS308 through your favourite timer switch...

You could buy a cheap Ethernet switch and plug the cable through this and then put the ac adaptor for the switch on a timer.
