    Anne Boleyn channel 5

    Harry Enfield made some funny Nelson Mandela sketches but was it wrong? In my opinion they were funny not because he had blacked up but because of the way he acted and the juxtaposition of context of those sketches. If a black actor can portray a person of different origin effectively (in...

    Air in the hot water coil

    AF10 isn’t an inhibitor. No need to drain down, leave Sentinel in system. Just bail out and clean the feed tank then dump the AF10 in before refilling.

    Air in the hot water coil

    Replacing Myson 3 port valve with Honeywell

    Straight swap and I was able to leave the olives on the pipework. The Honeywell actuator has an additional earth in the cable, that's the only (easy) extra to do in the junction box.

    No window to bathroom but an old and noisy vent fan. I'll look in to a quieter fan that I can run for longer periods. Washing the shower curtain in a little disinfectant gave a very good result. Thanks for putting my mind at rest.

    Should my CH inhibitor be topped up occasionally?

    I can't talk for JohnD but yes, there's no way I want slime and jelly in my tank. Fernox AF10 has stopped it in its tracks and the tank is as clear as a swimming pool AF10 smells like Jeyes disinfectant- I wonder if that would make a suitable slightly cheaper alternative?
