Helen Folasade Adu What a Diamond (life)

Are you not concerned about the health risks. A 10 quid panel heater would be better, and probably cheaper to run.

That is why they need to pay a third party to 'rapid age' the product. Rapid aging does not have to be expensive, used to do it on my steam rooms. Shame that my old boss, who should have known better, decided to change materials without telling anyone, leading to multiple 'unexplained' failures. It is why we have quality assurance paperwork, it is not to raise the quality, but rather to find out why quality has dropped. They don't tellingly that in the books.

How long should a water cylinder last, mine managed 31 years. One of my neighbours has never changed his, so that is now 32 years old. And these are basic E7 Cooper cylinders, nothing fancy, just a bucket with very soft water in then. What are the chances a SA will last that long? Mind you, I do loose 10p a day through heat loss. So £1130 heating up the house, whether I want it to it not.

Depending on the house construction type, could you not incorporate the shadow gaps into the plaster boarding, then you get your service void as well. Could make the lower edge out of extruded aluminium angle. That would take a decent bashing from an upright vacuum cleaner. If I think about it a bit more, you could also 'hide ' a ventilation and maybe heat recovert/heating system in it. Walls are often a wasted space, why we push furniture up to them, fit shelves and hang pictures on them. They need to be utilised a lot more. Mind you, I live in a tiny house, all space is at a premium.

Shadow gaps. Could fit some fancy lights in them. But that is just silly.

The humidity does not affect the temperature, just how you perceive it. Temperature is really just how fast the molecules are moving when unhindered. There is often a confusion when using the term 'heat'. To some it means temperature, but really it means energy. We now use energy as the standard term.

There was a confirmed case cause by the airconditioning unit installed at the shopping centre in Aylesbury. Think it killed one person. I used to go for a coffee there, but had to stand by the unserviced unit to have a fag. Strange how it gets some people and not others. The bacteria is often present in water, where it is quite benign, only when it is atomized into a mist, and at the right temperature, and then is breathed in by a susceptible person that it is a problems. I don't think those conditions exist in a domestic shower.

Have stored my DHW at 50°C in my old fashioned, vented system, with F&E tank in loft, for over a decade.

May get a mug of tea more like. And not from Sam, or her Dad Joe. I always find it strange that 'celebrities' live alongside 'normal' people. Quite a few have places down here and just seem to blend into the background.

I got eyed up by Sam Brown and her friend in the mid 80's, think it was because I was wearing cycling shorts. Thomas Twining was born in Painswick.

To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a case in the domestic environment.

Isn't there an expectation of a reasonable life for products under EU law. I had my washing machine price refunded from Tesco, eventhough it was outside the 12 months. Was a bit of hassle to get sorted (they 'lost' the paperwork), but Tesco gave me 100 quid in vouchers to cover than.

I have always thought that some webcams on coral reefs that streamed a live show would be good, especially if you could set it up so that you always had a view in daylight. But we all know that watching too much TV makes your eyes go square. It is what my Mother said, so must be true.

I have no idea what things are like in Scotland, but down here in Cornwall, it is pretty hard to get permission for a static caravan site. There was a move a while back to get rid of all the chalet type housing. Much of this was driven because of a perception that 'travelers' would move in.

Too true. A friend of mine is a commissioning engineer for AD plants. It is not a case of just slinging rubbish in an airtight container and leaving t in a warm place. They can easily be 'poisoned ', give low caloric value gas, and then there is the waste to dispose of. This, in commercial plants, is often toxic, see the Coca Cola case in India to how bad it can be. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3096893.stm

For the last 20 plus years, some sewage works have diverted 'our' waste into AD plants. Much better to do it at scale. Energy production is is always better when large.

I spoke to him too, right after I met the people responsible for it. It was obvious that they were chancers. They also had an over parity fuel cell. So that is alright.

There was a guy from Dorset, over at the other place, who got convinced to fit a home AD plant. I met the 3 people that were responsible for selling, designing and installing it. It was never gong to work, and to the best of my knowledge, it never did. All I can say is that £50,000 would have bought a lot of natural gas, or PV, or even a decent windturbine.

Bit late to this party. The commissioning form is just there paper trail form. You need to add this each time as well It frustrated me no end as I could be sending several of them a day, for the same inverter, just at different address. Just they way they work. The other thing they (Western Power) were keen to know was the physical location of the AC isolator, they were not too bothered about the DC one.

Just knock up a quick model of the house and see what the differences are. Solar gain may also be an issue, so worth taking a stab at those calculations as well.

I think it is do do with the minimum/maximum prison sentence that can be bestowed on the crime. It was explained to me when I did Jury Service, but have forgotten now.

Seems reasonable what you did. The DHW heating cycling seems strange, but may have some benefits if the HP is already running to heat the house anyway. Was it all fairly straightforward to set, or did it involve a manual, or 3.

Did you change any of those parameters?
