Re: Summer is here to stay, 40 C expected this weekend
40° C? In your dreams! As I write, it's 29.9° C at about 300 m altitude, translated to about 32° C at inland sea level. Saturday and Sunday, my forecast predicts about 34° C, translated to 36° C at inland sea level. Even allowing for an extra 2° C, it won't get anywhere near 40° C.

Re: Mini Budget
Yes, I know that the politicians are totally incapable – at all times – of defining policy. This is done by the civil servants behind the scenes. The politicians, Chancellor included, have only boxes to tick as to whether they approve or disapprove of a policy. The present catastrophe is no exceptio...

Re: Induction Hobs and Phase 3 electricity
I wonder if the salesperson was being wholly truthful, or maybe his cousin is an electrician :lol: There is a quirk in the UK regulations which you never find in countries elsewhere. It's called ring mains because the phase wire normally comes from the fuse box, is connected in turn to the peculiar...

Re: Induction Hobs and Phase 3 electricity
Sorry! But I think you had a slip of the tongue, and that you meant two-wire connection (live and neutral)

Re: Induction Hobs and Phase 3 electricity
And your bills will also show if you have 3 or 4 phase supply, at least mine does. Sorry! You have either single phase or three phase connections. With a single phase, you have two wires (live and neutral) plus earth. With three phase, you have three live wires, one neutral wire (not used for distr...

Re: Renting is a nightmare!
attempting to time the market is a mug's game. I agree, up to the point that someone at the pub told you that the market is going to do this or that. Here, a house had big hand-painted 'For Sale' signs which recently disappeared. The owner told me that he was now waiting for the house market to sto...

Re: Heat Pump v Aircon
I would agree with Poppy. I am technically minded and have now modified the house with wall insulation, roof insulation, double glazed sealed windows, heating means and various other more or less expensive changes. Believe me, well worth it as Poppy says. Yes, it's quite an expensive menu but a lot ...
