Thanks for that - one or two interesting snippets about "my" Ffrwd canal branch

She has a mobile - we have had so many stories about it (after the estate agent, the broken rudder, the kitchen fitter the electrician) - the phone has been lost, the cats eaten it, the battery is flat, the charger is lost and then got broken, no signal, the service provide won't talk to her and on and on ............................

It was a moderator who posted the above. As the ban appears to have expired, presumably he's voluntarily decided to continue his 'isolation'.

我两种都用过也安装过，只要安装正确，它们都物超所值！ 我用的热水柴油加热器已经一年多了，大概一年半（已经用了两个冬天了），一直都很好用…… 不到 250 英镑就能买到一台新的和一套完整的备用设备！ 要想让它运行良好且可靠，安装细节至关重要！

This is one of the strainers in mine - 22mm copper.

Fair point - if starting from scratch then a 'marine' exhaust, new fuel piping etc etc can double the cost of the Chinese unit. If your current installation has all the connections (water, fuel, exhaust and electric) in the correct place and the correct sizes then, yes, just replace the main unit.

Typo ? Or taking a leaf out of C&RTs maintenance book ?

In those sea conditions it's better off where it is.

The vegetarian version would be a cheese and onion pasty.

They could go into a very small building - last figures I saw shows that 87% were male and, of those, 80% were single males between the age of 18 and 39.

Presumably they will want 'small' men so they can squeeze more in the same space

Are you thinking of "Dug-out"?
