Ah, but if you had been there at the time :D :D :D 8)

I don't believe my assumption to be hypothetical. Mostly because I did not make any assumption. The meaning of the words used by Kendor is, as far as I am concerned, unambiguous and not subject to subjective interpretation. It is entirely possible of course that my a posteriori understanding...

Why not use oil-based eggshell finish? That gives you the non-gloss effect with a hard-wearing, wipe clean finish.

On the particular point in question I was fairly sure I DID understand what Kendor meant. I understand him to be pointing out a moral ambiguity: that people are responding sympathetically to ninebob who has openly confessed his offence here - while the same people, he implies, would condemn the...

My daughter's boiler cycles every 10-15 seconds. This seems like a Bad Thing to me - very much a non-expert in gas boiler systems. It is a rented property. Should she get this checked?

Thanks FWL - and apologies Hdiy if I am hijacking your thread. I would really like the switched live for my fan to come from the pump's switched live (its not an electric shower). Fan on lighting circuit. Pump on fused spur off ring. I can find the right connection on the pump, but am not...

He can always use this thread as clear evidence of genuine regret.... or is that taking cynicism too far.

Do those regulations also apply if the fan is actually located half-way along the run of ducting to the outside wall and all connections are above the ceiling?

I know this is subjective too, and very "rule of thumb" - but generally I find that the size of connector, the size of conductor and the size of screwdriver that fit the screw come together to mean that tightening up as hard as possible is OK.

After I failed to spell Barcelona right in my first search - finding nothing - I have found this lot :shock: :shock: My Barcelona has been through some of these problems but each time they were fixed by the guys I called out - mostly under warranty. Door seals replaced again at last service...

Grovelling apologies - found it this time :oops: :oops: :oops: Fingers may have been too cold to type Barcelona correctly!

Right enough - does make sense from the point of view of a regulator. I was thinking of my fan exhaust that has louvres to avoid the wild west wind blowing through my Kitchen :D

Balanced flue, room sealed appliance - means the boiler flue has two connections to the outside. It takes in air from outside and vents combustion products outside. Whatever system of ventilation or extraction you have in your kitchen should not impact on the performance or safety of your...

I know this isn't helpful, really, but what on earth do you need a pole with shelves for? Try one stick-on hook for the shower gel if you can't hang it on the door. Herself has five different shelf, basket, hook devices for 12 different potions and devices. Could these all ever be used by one...

Cheaper? Does he mean cheaper to install or cheaper to run? There's an intuition that not ever having to heat from cold saves fuel costs. But that doesn't square with the law that says that heat loss depends on the temperature difference - so you loose more £s for longer if you keep the heat...

Can't imagine that small % difference having any impact on performance of the motor. Idle speculation, but could this have anything at all to do with the tingle - either the tingle is caused by the difference or there is some quirky fault somewhere causing both?

For any given load, the size of grunt depends only the voltage. The Ah rating will determine how long it will grunt for rather than the size of the grunt - sort of an Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, rather than just one short Ah :D

Would this be any better than a single boiler system with room and cylinder stats and separately timed CH and HW?

Not necessarily, rather than no. Agree with Breezer - but I had the impression with battery-powered tools that those with more stamina and power are usually those with higher-voltage batteries too? I assumed it was something to do with the internal resistance, size of conductors in motors...

Absolutely agree - despite subsequent posts. I wasn't assuming, just wondering. I would advise people who must use oil-burning space heaters to make sure they are regularly serviced, and I would also keep clear of smokers. Just how much caution would you like me to confess to!
