Some months ago the boiler broke down & whilst we huddled under blankets awaiting a repair, we bought fan heaters. In the last 48 hours Youngest pointed out to me that mine, still in box was not being put to use - it has a "just waft air around" setting & he'd been keeping cool with his the previous 48 houris. Do, please, check any fan heaters you may have to see if they can help you stay cool as well as cosy as needed?

I second what @New_in_the_fens said, @DigForVictory . The “hump full of water” is a myth.
Having ridden camels in Australia - and asking loads of questions because I was a horse mad teenager at the time - their saddles are fitted on the same principles as horse ones, in as much as each camel is sized and then fitted with a saddle of suitable proportions so that the frame doesn’t dig in. (Does that make sense?)

Now there's preparedness, and BBC2 so the facts should be solid. Thank you!
