  1. We all do, same as we look at women in the street.
  2. I had a one night stand like that. Thought the Mamba was for her pleasure. Well it was, but not as I imagined.
  3. Since when. I am always amazed how men can miss. Unless they have a tiny cock.
  4. Did you pass them on to your kids. "As my old dad used to say, ***** the lot of them".
  5. I have not had a TV for over 25 years. But does anyone really need an aerial now. Surely a dish is used if you don't have a decent internet.
  6. Careful, some materials do.
  7. Bigger than my place, and mine was built in 1987.
  8. Just fit a composting lavatory. A watertight box, a straw bail and a little air fan.
  9. Probably best. Though there may be that things where a builder can do it under notice. As it is only a metre high, it may be exempt. https://www.pavingexpert.com/featur03
  10. It is the same as calculating heating loss from ventilation. Mass of air [kg] per time period [h] time specific heat capacity of air [kJ.kg-1.K-1] times temperature difference [K]
  11. Any help https://www.mcrma.co.uk/pdf/Wind_guidance_document_final.pdf
  12. We will see, when it is delivered.
  13. Walk away from them now, it is going to cost you. DHW and Space Heating are different things, at different times and at different temperatures. They should be separated.
  14. No, as I am a long way off fitting a new heating system.
  15. Pipes are not insulated.
  16. That is power, heat is another word for energy. We had skirting radiators when I was a kid (days of town gas). Never remember the house being cold. The ones we had were quite boxy and in a dark grey. Behind the box was a copper pipe with fins on them. I would consider some of the more modern designs ones as I cannot realistically fit UFH and I hate exposed pipework.
  17. Sort the building out, then you only need a smaller thermal load.
  18. Some Charts showing variation in UK mean, min and max temperatures over the years. And a bonus one, hours sunshine
  19. With virtually no air movement at all.
  20. We don't get excessively high air temperatures and we normally have a breeze as well. Different up in the home counties and in more built up areas. I seem to remember looking at the temperature difference between Penzance and Newcastle, only about 1°C colder up on the East Coast, on average. But the temperature range was was much bigger than Penzance. And it is not as windy. Sun is higher in the sky down here as well, this can, depending on house orientation and design, reduce passive gain.
  21. Have you thought about how you will bond it, and if there is any PVC nearby?
  22. But the wall area is a lot smaller than the floor area, and convection currents will limit the temperature. That is only changing the temperature, not the floor insulation. Though as you say, you only have the building regs when the house was built to go on. Trouble is that you also run the risk of lower CoP at other times. So under sizing is a high risk policy.
  23. You could try testing it from the temp difference between the flow and return, and at what rate the room heat up. I that a temperature difference of 12°C? Should it not be the slab temperature minus the ground temperature?
