Beaker,
I have an old Ideal Mexico boiler so costs a lot to get the house up to temperature.
Am I cheaper having an oil filled radiator on as background heat all day, or just using the central heating normally? On for an hour in the mornings, then 3:30 to 10pm at night.

I know this, it's a trick question -Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostSeeing as Beaker's either too modest to start the Ask Beaker ritual, or too much of a muppet to know how, I'll start.
Beaker, if I have a 2kg bag of frozen peas (small peas) in my freezer and I've already eaten two 200 gram servings, how many peas do I have left? Not the weight, the number please!
Allah
