    Although I too never read the OP, I think it had something to do with a child burning themselves from the hot tap after the heating had been serviced.

    Thanks

    The OP was complaining that the water coming out of a hot tap was hot.

    Funny thing thats is, hot taps do have hot water which flows out of 1.

    Basically the boiler temperature was set at 49 degrees (which is generally accepted as a temperature not to scald)
    The counter argument is that it should be 60 degrees to kill legionella bacteria. This is more widely accepted as to what a boiler should heat water to.

    The service engineer raised the temperature to 60 degrees and the OP's child "scalded" (not at 60 degrees, it may have caused a heat rash ;) ). his/her hand under the hot water tap.

    I posted a link in the first page which explains what happened to the OP and the common opinion on whether to heat water to 49 or 60 degrees. (opinion being 60 degrees but having anti-scald devices fitted to bring this down to 49 degrees if its really felt necessary).

    Op then throws toys out pram because they are not advised to sue sue sue.

    Ah i see so the usual episode with not getting the replies they were after, why oh why do people get into the mindset of any reply must conform to the 1 the OP has in mind eg everyone has to be a mind reader.

    I recently covered my grandson's head in a thick layer of jam and threw him into a wasps nest.

    Imagine my surprise and horror when he got stung.

    There was no mention on the jar of this potential danger. It's outrageous. Has anyone got an email address for the CEO of Chivers? I'm going to sue them for a million squillion pounds. They should be banned.

    It would never have happened if he'd used Hartley's jam. Down with that sort of thing!

    What did you cut yourself on? Did you sue?

    LMAO

    I can't actually remember, probably a beer glass. My stay in A&E was very brief because I decided it wasn't worth the hassle, went home and cleaned the wound myself, only in my worse for wear state I assumed the little bits of white in there were rouge strands of cotton wool rather than the bits of skin tissue they actually were.....

    Needless to say what would have been a small scar is now a very large one due to the stupidity of youth and alcohol :o

    As for suing, I think the landlord bought me a pint so all was well with the world again :D;)

    You cut yourself on (probably) one of his beer glasses, presumably having broken it, and he buys you a pint?

    What a fine, upstanding landlord!

    Either that or he has his head screwed on and didn't want you instructing Messrs. Sue, Grabbitt and Runne!
