That location puts me in the middle of the sea...

Nah!



I don't understand why anyone would post their actual location online.

Why did you even look? Who cares where I live?

Do you always download people's images and check their coordinates? No one here even knows who I am so what difference does it make?

Im presuming it was simply opened in a program to read the labels on the tank, and that it may display the exif on a sidebar in some programs, And that they were just pointing it out.

What site did you use to find the location?

I could not find one that would even convert it from GPS [DMS] to long and lat correctly. And google maps are useless.

Google can't find 53.2632.23 N 2.1650.56 W
And 53.2632 N 2.1650 W is a different location

Yes exactly but OP seems more concerned about the fact they don't understand their phone and have posted their location, than their original water heater question.

Why does a "Debt free wannabee" have an iPhone XR?

Your location is incorrect, it should be:

53°26'32.2"N 2°16'50.6"W

53.442286, -2.280711

I have used Irfanview https://www.irfanview for years and it gives various options to show the location in different applications:

So your program converts it for you, Mine only shows the first set of numbers like this N "53 2632.23 [DMS]"

Ill be sure to remember to use that program next time i need to stalk someone lol

I have a thermal store system and certainly don't leave it on all 24/7 - I did that when I was young and foolish and it cost a fortune! There are three adults in our home, and my husband and I constantly tweak the timer back and forth because he likes unlimited hot water on demand and I hate waste! Right now it's on a setting he chose (so too much in my opinion!) and it's on for an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening. If I want a bath or there's shedloads of washing up from dinner guests, I pop it on boost for half an hour or so. In winter it's more like 2 hours in the morning and an hour and a half in the late afternoon so the ambient temperature does make a different.
