This was basically the point I was trying to convey. Spot on :wink:

The whole point isn't about whether someone has a degree, it's the type of degree that they go for, and whether it is relevant today or not. I'm not sure whether a degree in outdoor adventure with philosophy, or western and chinese herbal medicine counts as relevant in helping this country to...

So there are loads of jobs for all those super qualified guys and gals then? I'm not trying to say that school leavers shouldn't try to better themselves, just that they should set the bar realistically. I work at a place where I see 'the future' of our country, and believe me, some of their...

You're good, WMC !! :D What's your opinion ? Do you think that all these deluded youths should get educated up to the eyeballs, or set themselves more realistic targets ?

Certainly not dossers, no Joe!! But, I just feel that realistically, there is an echelon, and people will naturally fit into their position in life. But nowadays youngsters are told they can reach for the stars if they want to, and are very disappointed when they don't or can't. They think that...

On the subject of fees rising to get into universities, to make places more 'exclusive', what is the general feeling on this ? My opinion is that university shouldn't be 'diluted' as it has been in recent years, that there will always be levels of educational ability, and that degrees such as...

I had a similar issue with maths at around that time in my life, but my epiphany was a change of teacher :) Children should be encouraged to do some form of sport, and as for pushing them, if we didn't tell them to do their homework, which some of you would class as 'bullying' (a very...

I've got Makitas, they're ok. Had some cheapies from Shoe Zone, they were not bad, but my feet were wringing by the end of the day, whereas these Makitas keep my feet cooler :)

If you read the fault finding section, this may help you http://www.tritonshowers.co.uk/media/11509/t100xr.pdf If your shower head is blocked with scale, this can cause hot/cold cycling.

Fart lighting is indeed possible, although the rectum burning would probably be a bit extreme :)

Crone, all I'm giving you is the knowledge to ask questions of whichever heating engineer you call to fix your boiler, I wouldn't suggest you do anything internally unless you know what you're doing. I know this won't help you to save money, but it may be better for your health :)

Less inhibitor ? I think you may find it isn't necessarily critical how much you have in your system, it's how little. If the system water is coke coloured, I would suggest that it may be more to do with corrosion than inhibitor.

Also, some people have been known to leave the loft hatch open slightly if leaving the heating on timed whilst away on winter hols, as it helps to stop any pipework from freezing in the loft. :)

If you look at this http://www.baxi.co.uk/docs/Baxi_Combi_HE_brochure.pdf It seems to point to the 3 way valve. You may get a few answers on here, you may get a few answers when you call someone out. :)

Apologies LMB, just watched it myself. Very touching :)

The electrical burning smell could be due to the transformer being over worked, and another reason for the non firing / lockout may be due to the solenoid coil failing, as this seems to be one of the few things you haven't changed :)

A friend sent me this a few months back http://thechive.com/2010/08/10/girl-quits-her-job-on-dry-erase-board-emails-entire-office-33-photos/ You may have seen it before, but I found it funny :)

If you are running plastic pipe under concrete, then there will more than likely be joints. I'm not a great fan of anything under concrete that has joints, whether it be plastic or copper, but its mainly about protecting whichever pipe you decide on as best you can. I've run it inside the next...

Have a look on here http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/homeowner/products/gas-boilers See if you can find your boiler, then you may be able to look at the PDF file for your model. If it isn't here then my apologies :)

Good suggestions, any one of TWF's suggestions is viable. What Spraggo is talking about would be evident if the flame was continually failing, which you can easily check if you know what you're looking for. Get an OFTEC engineer in :)
