Don't worry Nick, any second now you'll hear the comforting 'woof' as the boiler fires up.
More likely a huge "Whoooosh" as the house blows up!  whistle:

Thank you BM. I feed the straight lines...

If you expect to see the explosion then I'm likely to be in blast zone!

No, the boiler exploded and the house is burning down, but at least Captain Calamity is warm now.  whistle:

Anyhoo...

The gas boiler packed up in Windsor - it is bloody freezing here...

LL got a local man in last week to quote - spent hours and came up with some excellent ideas for changing the boiler, moving things around, etc. Came back today to go over it with me, discuss some options, etc. Can come next week, remove the old boiler, hot water tank, header tank and cold water tank... replace boiler in a different place, put a sink in the downstairs bog (where the old boiler was), replace a leaky radiator, change some other bits and pieces which are now illegal, etc.

British Gas man came this morning (to give an alternate quote)... was here five minutes (car parked on yellow lines)... promised to call back this arvo with a price... Of course he didn't call...  noooo:

Guess who is getting the werk...
