here’s me thinking global warming meant hotter weather,
I should be selling umbrellas and wellies not ice cream
Somebody hasn't been paying attention. For years it has been known that climate change means warmer, wetter summers for northern Europe.

I'd think that in CRT 's collective mind a licence reminder also functions as a BSC reminder, as you cannot get a licence without a certificate.

That is SUCH a ridiculous word! Even though the meaning is appropriate, lol.
Just as the term "Solicitrix" is ridiculous for a.... go on have a guess... (or look it up)!
I take it you have no affinity for Yorkshire dialect. It's a perfectly good word, and I wasn't laiking about.

The answer is simple. If you can't thoil it, don't go.

We really shouldn't be calling it a fan belt. There isn't a fan in sight (OK, there's one just visible inside the alternator casing) but the component is clearly an alternator drive belt.
I haven't had a car with a fan belt for decades either, as fans on modern cars are electric.

But there won't be many second-hand boats at shows, only a few brokerages with printouts of their websites. I am with the go visit brokerages advice.
Yes, me too. Brokerages, plural. Be prepared to travel around.

On balance this is perhaps a ‘foolish’ idea of mine. 😉
Think I’ll stick to my usual pastimes of lock snorkelling and body surfing in bywashes - less risky. 😊
You should try underwater pole-vaulting.

I thought CRT was a third-sector charity?

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with a consultancy model. It's cheaper to use a call-off contract than to employ specialists to sit on their arses for (say) 40 weeks a year.

If you paint it, there's no need to polish it.
(Runs for cover...)

I think the term the OP was groping for might be consultant.
It's arguable whether CRT should have the expertise in-house, but the fact is, they almost certainly do not.

Our local authority amenity/recycling site accepts them.
Doesn't yours?

That's how they can afford a £6m house.

My thoughts exactly. It's doing no harm. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Depends whether you intend to award the contract to the lowest tender...

Whilst you may have 28mm connections on the back boiler, your pump needs to be matched to the available heat capacity and the radiator output, so a smaller pump will be more than adequate. What rating is your back boiler?
If the water is circulating, it will be travelling faster through the smaller diameter pipework (volume flowrate will be the same, of course).
Does this means that less heat is transferred to the surroundings?

It's only halfway to an arbitrary 'fail' line.
Perhaps it's just indicating a completely normal and benign phenomenon?
At present....

A squirt with this would be best:
That, and the non-metal prodder.
Also, the "press power button to reset" thing can take what seems an age (over 30 seconds), as I found put recently on my laptop (which by the way has a USB C socket for external power).

Has anyone in all history ever successfully sued a surveyor?
Probably immaterial, Arthur. The insurance company might take a hit on one policy, but they would not give the surveyor any more work ... and insurance companies talk to each other. The result would be that no insurer would accept any of that surveyor's reports, thereby effectively eliminating his business and protecting the shareholders of all insurance companies.
As somebody has already implied, insurers are much, much bigger than one insignificant boat owner.

What effect do these strange methods have on the skins?
I do like a nice leathery jacket, which is what you get when you bake a spud properly ... in an Aga.

Two world-class football clubs eh? Sounds like a good reason to stay away to me... 😉
We'll try to get over living without you.
I must admit I'd rather go to Edgeley Park though.

It's not your words that are the problem, it is the unique meanings you ascribe to them.
