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.

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.

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...

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.
