    Whole house heating, or room by room?

    If you're setting the TRV to anything other than MAX then you may as well not bother with the wall thermostat. If the TRV shuts off first then the thermostat will keep demanding heat that isn't being delivered into the room therefore it will keep telling the boiler to keep heating, while the...

    Ginger men who now identifies as a woman.

    Any chance of a summary? I couldn't find a point in anything you stated. Should a bloke with a beard wearing a dress go into womens changing rooms?

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    Yeah yeah, heard it all before. We had plenty of sub-prime in our own system, including Northern Rock. We always end up with economic calamity when labour are in power, and there are always excuses.

    Ginger men who now identifies as a woman.

    Ah OK, it wasn't stated but I assumed we were talking about the UK. It would be a pretty big number globally. If we accept the 0.2%, then we're dealing with a lot of invasion of the rights of women, who make up more than 50% of the population. 1 in 2 are having their rights impinged upon to...

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    Ha ha, it's getting like 2008 all over again. Everything goes tits-up under Labour, they blame the rest of the world. All part of the normal procedure.

    Whole house heating, or room by room?

    It's set to max so the thermostat will hit its setpoint and switch the zone off. This does mean that other rooms in that zone could be cooler, but it really doesn't matter. Otherwise the TRV could cut the radiator off, then the thermostat would never reach its temp. You can run a system...

    Ginger men who now identifies as a woman.

    Very, very unlikely. People are jumping on the bandwagon. Boyish girls and girlish boys. They've always been around, everyone accepted the concept of a "tomboy", all was fine. It was often just perfectly normal insecurity or a phase they'll get through. Now they're being told they need...

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    I said "nothing substantial". The words are there, if you choose to read them.

    Ginger men who now identifies as a woman.

    We're going through a weird phase as a society. We'll snap out of it once the weirdos get told to STFU. At the moment the silent majority is being downtrodden by a noisy minority. We only have to put up with this nonsense until 2029, then we can return to sense. There are people who are...

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    So, 4 pages later, including one page of irrelevant rubbish about paragraph spacing that nobody cares about... Do we all agree that Labour have achieved nothing substantial, in 20 months?

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    Is that from the manifesto? It all looks pretty trivial. I've heard Starmer being mocked that free* breakfasts for kids was his one achievement. I just don't hear a big picture, a goal we're supposed to be striving towards. * free = someone else pays

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    That was last week. What have they done in the previous 20 months that you've been impressed with?

    Exposed pipework concern for combi boiler

    What were the concerns? Is it leaking?

    Who thinks Labour are doing well?

    OK, you don't think they're doing well (and I agree). Who thinks that they are doing things well, and why? If you think they're laying the foundations for better times ahead, then when will these good days arrive?

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    Microbore was a terrible idea for gas boilers, I don't think it works at all for heat pumps. You need to shift a lot more water around the system as the flow temperature is lower. I'm sure it could be done, but I doubt it would work well at all. Our kitchen/diner radiator is at the limit for...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    My working background is in electronics. The last place you want to put electronics or batteries is attached to a radiator, it's well outside of the temperature range of commercial components, and I'm certain they won't be using mil-spec components, as I've seen the price of them. I wouldn't...

    Whole house heating, or room by room?

    Go for the middle option you haven't considered - zones. It's been around for decades, it's easy to manage and logical and doesn't require much more pipework than a single loop system. Each zone has one master room that includes the timer/thermostat on the wall. Its radiator is set to max...
