I don't know, Alf. I can't take the credit/blame.

I can, however, admit to partaking in the 'CUK holiday' to the caravanning forum. Childish, maybe, but it was highly amusing.

it was excellent. i had to buy a new keyboard that day

What childish idiot came up with this stupid concept of 'Forum Holidays' abusing other people's forums (fora?)?

Has anyone gone in yet (just to check we've got the hang of this bleeding thing, obviously)?

I don't know how to bleed radiators, I thought you all knew that.

Looks ripe for a CUK Winter Holiday.

Plus, the Plumbing Forum has a thread on the go entitled "blow off''...

A home from home if ever I saw one.

A couple of threads on bleeding and flushing too.

I think they may be a bit too weird for us though

...and who is going to be first "How do I fit a concealed IP camera in the shower?"

It works fine in my home. I admit there are the occasional minor leaks but I have a work-around. I have connected the live and neutral wire from the mains light into the Blu-Tack. As soon as there is a leak, the lights automatically dim and flash.

You can use this to check for leaks in the gas pipe as well.

You can insert an air bubble into the system and that might cause the boiler to go off. Spacecadet is probably correct too, depending on the system.

Thanks for the correction
