    My boiler is in the bedroom. If its on programme you don't need an alarm clock!

    Is it a "on-demand" hot water boiler?

    I sometimes get woken up in the morning by the pipes creaking and banging as they expand with the heat. But having something on the wall going "Woof!" at regular intervals is something else... :eek:

    It's in its own cupboard which handily is big enough to get an airer in.

    It does go "Woof" as it starts up. It is like having a St Bernard in a cupboard, just without requiring the RSPCA to call!

    My boiler goes to a hot water tank which is in a sliding door wardrobe size thing. For many weeks I was complaining about not being able to get my towels dry enough until the little voice inside my head saying "You have an airing cupboard!" finally got through.

    It's amazing how long it takes to change habits. My previous boiler was on-demand and was in a tiny cupboard which regularly sucked crap out of the loft when you opened the door. I kept a box with toilet and bathroom stuff in there and not much else.

    But no brandy! Don't forget the brandy...

    Or is that where you keep your stash? ;)

    If I had a pond, I would have given it a Viking send-off. Alas, I don't.
