    Put it on timer and as required.
    After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    The other factor is the insulation how good is it was it factory fitted or have you used a jacket as the heat loss will be very small say overnight which means any hot water not used straight away will still be available hours later.
