I have instructed Jenkins to stoke the boiler every four hours. My contribution to lessening my carbon foot print is that I have given him a smaller shovel."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

I'm thinking of putting a 2nd thermostat in the cupboard under the stairs and rewiring the system so the original is just a dummy for the wife to switch to max when ever she walks past.
Genius or what.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

It's a shame we can't send light down your super efficient fibre optic cables and pipe light into homes from the sahara.Originally posted by zeitghostI've gone one better than switching it off.
I turned the pilot light out too.
It normally only takes 3 or 4 days to get it to relight.
That's when the frost is on the inside of the double glazing.Comment
