  1. I feel sorry for the children but there are always two sides to a "story" and until

     

    we get the FULL facts from both sides we cannot become involved with either side.

     

    The only advice I would give to the Shaloms is try for Independant arbitration.

     

     

     

    I do not accuse the Shaloms of this but my daughter

     

    was at the local college and

     

    on her course was a "professional student" aged 45 that was proud of not

     

    ever having a job because she could always find another course to do.

    p.s. I do wish the Shaloms a better life especially the children.

  2. [quote name=

     

     

    -And watts is a measure of POWER ' date=' not energy!! (ie a watt is a joule per second)

     

    [/quote]

     

    Hi dhutch I bow to your knowledge that watts equal power and that is what

     

    the electricity company charges me for Kw/hrs. Therefore the power used by the

     

    refridgerater in 6.3hrs is 630watts. this eqates roughly to 0.42amps for 6.3hrs

     

    this then equals 2.6amp/hrs.

     

    Or am I all charged up over nothing <_<

  3. It is logical you will use approx 630watts per day; i.e. the fridge will run for 6.3hrs

     

    per 24hrs. BUT this will also depend on the number of times the door is opened

     

    and the ambient temperature of the suroundings. The guide consmption I think is

     

    probably worked out in ideal conditions.They are a good guide though.

     

    Stay cool <_<

  4. Hi

     

    I work for one of the emergency services and we do not have GPS location system

     

    we work with the Ordnance Survey system. We do have a sat nav system in our

     

    vehicles but this is only used to find unknown house adresses. If given a grid

     

    reference all is well but GPS location is a waste of time.

     

     

    Just for info if you use a bt landline we can spot you exactly before answering the

     

    phone, So just find a 'phone box <_<:D

    I agree with you, your example of necessary experience was the one I was going

     

    to use but when you see parents and children together and all you hear

     

    is "don't do that", children need a reason and calm explanation. I do not blame the

     

    children it is the parentsin the wrong, perhaps it is they that need the lessons in

     

    child care.

  6. Children do not understand DANGER it is a concept and needs to be taught,

     

    for instance to say to a child "Don't touch that", does not convey anything. To say,

     

    "Don't touch that because ....................." and give a good explanation that the

     

    child can understand and comprehend is much better. We all make mistakes and

     

    do something dangerous without thinking and we are "adults". The whole idea of

     

    life and boating is to be fun, bring children up to be safe and HAPPY. <_<

  7. Hi

     

    I wish you luck. I have not done the trip but Two years ago while on a cruise

     

    aboard "the Waverley" (a ship). We were on a cruise from sharpness down the

     

    river. We observed a narrow boat making the passage with a pilot on board, I

     

    believe this is compulsory and has to be booked well in advance.

     

    The narrow boat looked very small on that large river. The strength of the tide has

     

    to be seen to be believed. The Waverley had problems mooring at Sharpness, on

     

    the river, with the flow being so strong.

     

    A safe journey and let us know how it was for you.

  8. Hi We are John,Sally and Charlie,

    Welcome to the forum. Be you from the west country :lol: "are boat", best read

     

    with the accent.

     

    There are lots of "experts" that will have many different answers, if you have time

     

    trawl, sorry wrong type of water, lock through previous postings. the right reply is

     

    there somewhe :) re.

  9. HI

     

    Surely a boat diesel engine is the same as a car diesel engine.

     

    When I start my car, have not got a boat yet, the heater plugs are used then turn

     

    the key to start, not touching the throttle.

     

    There is, I think an automatic fuel control valve i.e. the govener.

     

    Of course this only apply to "modern" engines.

  10. Hi

     

    as per my last post.

     

    The tanks would be plumbed in paralel. The coils plumbed in series.

     

    If you have "balance pipes" the tanks will act as one. Normal convection will equalise the temperature.

     

    I must make one adjustment to my previous only take hot water from tank two.

     

    The tanks will require two "balance pipes" one at high level one at low level.

    Bleed valves would enable the removal of air if necessary. :lol:

  11. Anything is possible, but you will need "balance" pipes to avoid airlocks in the tanks.

    i.e. cold supply to one tank then from that tank to tank 2. So that tank 2 is supplied from tank 1.

    Hot water take off from both tanks to a tee piece and then onto taps. this way you would only need to connect to one coil (inside tank) but as suggested before the two in series would be better. Heating the water to temperature of course would take longer.

     

    Be careful of deep water in the bath we would not want you to drown. :lol:
