How I'm getting 25 years of WFA in one

Your neighbours will hate you with a heat pump they clunk .
Also they only vaguely heat .
I don't call 18 degrees warm .
And that's apparently about their max .
No thanks

No heat pump for me, & without wishing to temp fate, our boiler is now 10 years old, never been serviced & is so quiet you have to be stood next to it to hear that it's on.

We have the heating set at 60c, which is the most efficient temperature for the condensing function, & 50c for the hot water.

Of course, it doesn't get used very much as the room temperatures are set at 16c which the boiler reaches very quickly.

You lot must have Eskimo blood .
16 is not warm at all .

I can only imagine how frustrated you all must feel over there. 'Taxing' boilers to fulfil a 0.00003% benefit to an out of control 'climatic' syndrome is scandalous. In my opinion it's just a matter of more 'control' over the plebs. A lever of many pulled by the Globalists to bring us into 'lockstep' obedience, by subliminal methodology. However it seems in the UK, apart from 'Reform' the Davos crowd have got their hooks into both of the larger parties. Boris lost his marbles, from his trousers up and 'Starmeron' just goes where he thinks the votes are for guidance.

What an utter and unbelievable mess. Does he really believe the current contempt with which he's held doesn't exist? As a 'Judges' Advocate, he believes process matters and therefore it's important to be able to influence the process maker's into changing (statutes) and how they work. His life is probably dictated by different versions of 'Judicial Revue'. The world of people their feelings and how to capture their thinking is to him an annoyance, a non-necessity. The 'process' in itself must rule, or be changed denying those affected by emotions, to which he has no access of either empathy, or contemplation.

A ruler doesn't function by conjecture. A good ruler functions by hypothesising and then proving or disproving that hypothesis.

Starmer doesn't possess these factors and that's why he so often makes the wrong choices. He believes that he must change that or those that disagree with his prognosis, without exception.

He won't last as a political leader, because he's incomplete and inflexible  ...

I'm still wondering what this open secret might be.

Clues I've heard are.. all allegedly obviously

Shape of family 
Marriage close to breakdown
Has been living away from Lady Vic in gaffs lent by Ali
Hints of homosexuality and others of illegitimacy 
Guido  apparently having a birth certificate 

All very mysterious.

Some wild speculation from that which I haven't seen which I don't suggest for one moment to be true

He does bat for the other side but married for appearances sake
His child or children aren't biologically his
Ali Baba is rogering him or vice versa

I don't really even see that as a huge scandal these days other than the hypocrisy involved in criticising Johnson for his many failures to keep his trousers zipped.

Yes, a friend of mine has told me how noisy they are, and how they upset  neighbours with all the clonking noise.
I wouldn't want one.

Well the heat pump is off the menu at the moment. The survey showed the heat loss exceeds the heat pumps which Octopus fit. British Gas are not installing in my area yet and I can't get through the BOXT application as I can't tick all their boxes. There could be others but I'm fast going off the idea now.

What I could and might do is get a new boiler from BOXT as they do a 10 year purchase/service/unlimited repair/replace plan at a fairly reasonable rate. The problem as I see it is that because it is finance based not just paid for there could be an issue at my age taking their 10 year term.

I agree. I would find 18 ok but my wife has to have at least 21. 

[GrannyMac]

I have an oil fied boiler.
There is no mains gas in the countryside.

My son has no mains gas either, quite rural.  As well as the oil fired heating, they have a log burning stove.  I love it!

We'd rather spend on heating than freeze, but fleecy, hooded robes help.

Our central heating isn't on yet, it's on at the boiler so that the pump will operate periodically to ensure it doesn't seize up, but both the thermostats are set at 10c & the rooms with the stats never get that cold even without the radiators on.

When it does get very cold, i.e. freezing outside, I'll set the stats to 16c.
