Failed Imagineer posted:Depends what you mean. It's better to have a thermostat that will get your house to temp and keep it there, and only call for the boiler to heat as required to achieve that, rather than manually turning on the heating and overshooting the temperature you want to achieve.  The orange curve is wasting a bunch of money and should be avoided. Newer boilers also often have some kind of extended control like OpenTherm Smart Power rather than the thermostat just saying on/off pls via a relay. Failed Imagineer posted:Modern boilers are also more efficient at condensing when they are set to a lower flow temperature You don't have to go all out fan heaters in every room though, you can get little fans that fix to existing rads (but results may vary).

If you can’t tell from your bank statements showing whoever is taking the premium payments, you can either contact the MIB who will take a while to get back to you with the info OR contact whoever postie is insured with, who will likely not think too hard about telling you who your vehicle is insured with because it’ll come up on their systems when they take your reg.

Heat pumps are also more efficient at lower temps, which is they tend to top out at 50C or so. In case of using them for your hot water, they are designed to use direct electric resistance heating once a week to raise the water temp enough to kill possible legionella. It's also the backup mode if the heat pump compressor chokes.

Thanks for the help with the car insurance Found an entry in the bank statement (Esure). When I did an email search for that it popped up an email with a 'my account' link and I was off to the races from there. Searching for the car type/registration or "insurance" in gmail hadn't found a thing.

The government should provide insurance for every vehicle and pay for it out of road tax instead of making every driver run a gauntlet of untrustworthy dickheads

How else are you supposed to put masses of poors behind bars? (I assume that's the goal of prohibition, because it's been gently caress all use for anything else)

Miftan posted:Looks like your bill went up 50%ish which is the same that mine did with Octopus, I was just paying more than Ł50 a month in the first place which I assume is the case for most people - especially big families. Are you on the Octopus variable rate? If so can you let me know what they are (excluding any 'cost of living' discounts)? I'm still on my fixed rate from over a year ago but trying to find out what I might be in for next winter. After what I've used this week, I'm hoping to turn all heating off from this Sunday for at least whole week! It's been so cold this week plus being poorly, I've not particularly stinted myself. My tariff just now (incl VAT) is: Hi 26.22 Lo 17.41 SChg 24.95

The assumption is that the kids are really into him, but as far as I can tell he plays no videogames and shouts no slurs. I reckon it's just a sign of how little the Christmas top position means these days. Whole thing can be decided by a few thousand people.

They’ve been Xmas number one every year for the last 4 years but as a goon I never listen to the radio so haven’t heard a single second of what I presume are some twee bullshit covers with the words “sausage roll” wedged into them.

I'm not gonna click that, but my brain just started playing Vindaloo by Fat Les with the words changed to "sausage roll" and I guess that's probably close enough in spirit

Yes, that's what I found; keeping steady at 15C used fewer gas units than letting the house go cold overnight and heating it back up again. I guess different variables will affect it. I live in a mid-terrace, so I have fewer outside walls. I also have an older boiler - so that might be a factor; a newer boiler might be more efficient.

Last year I did some quick calculations based on sales figures and how much he claimed to have raised for charity. I don't remember the exact figures, but in his first year he raised something like £85k, and by the same metric, going by claimed sales numbers, last year it would have been about £130k. Which is nice, but seems questionably low for the top spot on the chart.

The charts count streams now and those only get artists (used very loosely here) a fraction of what an actual sale would so it’s probably right.
