I'm not wrong. The stuff you're linking to is England and Wales. There is a link in there for folk in Scotland, that link will take the OP to the site I suggested earlier in the thread.

I'm beginning to wonder if you're low level trolling, apologies if not the case. If you contact the likes of Energy Scotland, CAB, local council for advice and pointers at least one of them might be able to offer or direct you to a solution or part solution. Bear in mind most on here are...

The only way you're going to know that for sure is to obtain ideally 3 x quotes from reputable gas engineers, even 2 x to ensure you're not just basing it on a single quote. Folk on here (the gas experts) might be able to give a ballpark to replace it, however there are variables that could...

You do not need to be in receipt of benefits to qualify for the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme.  Taken from the linked article I posted before. As I say though, it's only for 'greener' solutions, not conventional gas boilers.

Could be asserted that's one of the negatives of the current system. No coherent and genuine long term strategy that is seen through to fruition. Every few years we get a new party and new brushes like to sweep clean as they say. Having said that, neither do we want parties in power too long...

Have to admit, whether local council and/or UK government, I wouldn't really expect Reform to be dramatically better than any of the established parties. To what extent they might be worse time will tell depending on what local/national power they gain. I think, in a sense, Reform can already...

Found this but appears as though assistance is only for heat pumps or similar, not conventional gas boilers. https://www.homeenergyscotland.org/home-energy-scotland-grant-loan#:~:text=Home%20Energy%20Scotland%20Grant%20and%20Loan%20Scheme%20overview,only%20or%20primary%20private%20residence...

I hope careers advice has come on leaps and bounds from decades past. Must admit I thought more might partake in this light-hearted non heavy/political thread.

Valid points however it kind of closes my thread off ;) Replies don't need to be things folk regret or things that are deep and meaningful, just things turned down (for whatever reason) that might have taken life in a different path.

I'm hoping this can be a serious or at the very least semi-serious thread. Here's my story, well, one of them. Years back I had an interview at Edinburgh Uni. They were working on a joint project with an organisation in New York related to a super computer. If I remember correctly...

You're referring to Highway Man I think.

They all had their heads in the utopian clouds, including Merkel with her immigration policies. I think she's since stated her policies were perhaps a bit ambitious and have contributed to some of the issues now seen in Germany. No sh1t Sherlock. Bunch of clowns.

What the feck is all this sh1te about? How have we allowed ourselves to reach such an emperors new clothes level on all this stuff? Thankfully I think there is eventually some push back happening against the left wing nutjob groups that do all they can to promote this stuff as the norm.

Missed a trick is an understatement. Typical UK, flog off and/or stop what were our own capabilities.

AI tells me this, based on various sources. Pretty much echoes what's discussed on various telly progs when oil production and gas use are discussed. What a farce. Yes, the UK effectively buys back much of its own oil. While the UK produces significant oil from the North Sea, it is owned by...

Something they discussed on a recent Debate Night (Scottish QT) was the declining birth rate up here, combined with some younger Scots emigrating because of lack of opportunity here. The point some on the panel were making is we (in Scotland) need immigration to fill whatever roles, skilled and...

They touched on this on QT, the Greens co leader or whatever she is was on the panel. When discussing immigration, she was pushed on the Green's policy of (ultimately) supporting open borders. She was asked how the country would cope, infrastructure, services, socioeconomically etc. She...

Yes I know, my reply was something referred to as a joke ;)
