    Hi

    I can second that ... We were in Derby today for a nice man to wash, valet and change the oil on MrsZ's spaceship & I can confirm that it was totally miserable, not only that, I was dragged around (kicking and moaning of course) the indoor shopping complex and the well known city-centre furniture store because the wind was bitter, as was I after a couple of hours shopping. Took the 'scenic' route home over the moors and needed to rinse half of central England's topsoil off the car and onto our drive ...

    Anyway, spoon's not coming here, but not by much. No log-burner today combined with no solar gain and pretty low temperatures meant the GCH/DHW went on for a whole 72minutes this evening, so that's twice so far this year, both times this month! ... :eek:

    When the Sun has finished burning off the frost from the panels I'm expecting...no, let's not, too early in the day and could be the kiss of death!

    Thank you for this posting, Oscar. I will add this to my list of very useful sites.

    What a cracker today was; a drop for 2.5 hrs at 11:30 - 14:00 then back up again. I was tempted to use the inverter result which was reporting 7.32 O's; but will stick with GM at 3.04 O's.....eusa_dance.gif.....barmy.gif Best day this year for me, so far......smiley-laughing021.gif........coffee.gif
