Yes, it makes sense. I've had to educate my family with regards to my advancing years and learn to say no. They get used to it, eventually.thanks

I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway

And yet 60% of homes in Norway have them, and year ok year they don't all freeze to death...
I think it's far more likely that we in the UK don't have the expertise to size, install and configure them correctly (yet).
We burn wood too, Kevin. They grow it in Canada, turn it into pellets and send it by sea and rail to our environmentally friendly power station at Drax.
.. but they build houses properly, have actually invested in their energy infrastructure since the 1960s, have an abundance of renewables and don't put daft green subsidies on their electricity bills, I'm guessing.
Being Scandinavian, they probably supplement it with lots of wood burning, too.
Our houses are not insulated to any kind of degree to those in Norway. You need to keep any heat which is generated, not pass it through your roof, windows and walls.I think our Lord should get rid of that dirty old boiler, replace it with an Air Source Heat Pump and save the planet!
Not while I still have breath in my body.....
They don't seem to work very well from what I hear.
I think you may be right Opti.
One of my friends very recently moved into a brand new house which has been fitted with one of these new fangled heat pumps. Over the last week it has become very cold down here, but she tells me the heating will only get to a certain level and no more, with her bedrooms remaining quite cold! Another friend of mine is a master builder, and is very well qualified in the plumbing, and electrical, fields. He says that the heat pumps have a limit on how much heat they actually push out, which is no where near as high as it is with an gas central heating system.
What the hell is going on I think?!! Why are heat pumps being so enthusiastically promoted if they have limits for houses in our climate?!

Have you tried asking your favourite AI bot? ChatGPT? Grok? etcI asked
I believe they're quite clever these days.
Some scrotes have done mum's place over again, and nicked her safe. Sod all of value in there, but it's gonna be at least £2k for a new front door, and then the emotional costs.Twâts. Useless, leeching twâts.
I suspect the old bill will muster up enough enthusiasm to give her a crime number.
The police really need to get a better handle on this shit. Sat with thumbs up arses only encourages it to happen more.
Who would be surprised if Trump has promised Putin that he'll force Ukraine to agree to the peace deal, as long as Putin promises not to attack again while he is still in the White House?AI will be running things by then
This would give Putin around three years to regroup, retrain, build up a massive stock of drones and missiles, send more Russian navy ships and subs to the Black Sea as soon Turkey reopens the Dardanelles Straight and the Bosphorus to warships, and boom he'd be ready for phase 3 of his invasion of Ukraine in February 2029 when Trump is happily playing golf in Florida.
