Shirley you can just buy a V8, keep it idling in the driveway, and let the atmosphere heat the pool for you?

Possibly.
Knew a lovely chap from Newcastle while at uni. He was called Geordie, unoriginally. First time I met him, he tried to sell me a Schecter guitar but his accent was so strong I couldn't follow the negotiation and it ended in a rather awkward, embarrassing silence.
(Alan Partridge)Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Why not build a glass elevator and blast off to deepest darkest Africa to Loompaland. There you can meet the tribe and offer to pay them in cocoa beans.
They will then come back to your house where they will swim around the pool making it warm for you.
They may even sing you a song.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Many years ago a couple of Yorkshire mates were working in The Smoke and thought about buying a cheap banger for evening excursions. One caught their eye but when told it would cost A Pony they hadn't a clue what that was. They didn't want to lose negotiation credibility by asking what that was, so didn't buy it.Originally posted by hyperD View PostKnew a lovely chap from Newcastle while at uni.

When they got to work and asked what A Pony was, the banger turned out to be a bargain.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
