    But was there any reason for doing that? Was it to heat up your fluffy kitten quicker?

        I know there are some high tech thermostats around these days, but being able to post on CUK from one is pretty impressive.

              I may not know much about thermostats or centrifugal force but I know a lot about men.
              Last summer the washing machine started bouncing around and I got a one hour lecture about centrifugal force and correct tub loading procedure.

              So I withheld my womanly offereings for two weeks until his hands were shaking and he was bug-eyed. Centrifugalise THAT you b@stard and dont even THINK about trying to front load your tub.
              So now,when the telly goes funny and I start pressing all the buttons once he just smiles weakly and says 'you carry on dear'

                    OK I'll fess up to some thermostat stupidity, althouth whether it was mine or the thermostat's is debatable.

                    Working away from home a couple of years ago, I wanted to set the heating in my rented flat to be on all the time, as it was a cold spell in January. So I turned the dial to "all day".

                    After several days of waking up at 4 am with my teeth chattering, and wondering why the heating was off, I noticed another setting which I'd previously overlooked: "24 hours".

                    Turned out that "all day" meant 6am to 6pm
