Went to see our Dutch friends. They have a place near Amsterdam and apparently the fitting of new gas boilers is going to be illegal in a couple of years time. So they have got a new one on order which will be fitted this November.

We think this may well be a good idea.

Out boiler is brilliant and has cost us nearly nothing in maintenance since the house was built in 1982 odd. It isn't a combi so has none of the extraneaous complicated gubbing that new combi ones have. Every gas fitter who has serviced it says "They don't make em like this anymore whatever you do don't get rid of it!!"

We are wondering whether to bite the bullet and get one fitted anyway, or whether to just buy one and keep it until the old one packs up for ever. ;)

Newer boilers have been made to burn more efficienlty fer many years. Yer get some peeps wivver 30 year ole boiler finking they is saving loads of if sovs but wiv gas prices today they is losing a lot. Tis wurf finking about.

I did a cost comparison of the relative efficiency of my current boiler compared to a new high-efficiency combi.
Basically, any new boiler has a life-expectancy of c.10 years as its running on the edge with thin-walled high-efficiency heat-exchanger etc. and you are on a rinse-repeat buy & install cycle of costs every 10 years. This has to be offset against any boiler efficiency savings. For me it just did not cost in and I have opted to keep my 33YO Potterton going. :)

New boilers are end of life at about 15 years. Wusta bosh ses so.

Mornin all
Had a letter from an insurance company, it seems that a car that I scrapped 30 years ago has been involved in an accident, docs must still be in my name.
Scrap man at the time said leave the log book to me, I'll send it off.
It must have been cloned because the shell was beyond repair
Hey ho, breakfast at the cafe this morning and the sun is trying to come out
take care all :)

..that I might join a local gym with a proper fitness suite.
Apparently as an OAP for a mere £34/month I can access all the facilities every day before 6PM.
This includes all the fitness studios, the free-weights area, the calisthenics suite the swimming pool, the Sauna.
However it may be that this is also the time that the feckless and unemployed chav's also attend and it might be gross.
I wonder if they have a PAYG daily option? I will ask, then I can scope it out without committing to a years contract. :D

Show an interest and yer might gerra trial go at it.
 
..as an update to my post about membership of the local gym for only £34/Month. I am reliably informed that should I undertake such an endeavour all of my fitness kit here at home will have to be thrown away as it will therefore be unemployed.
Not sure I follow the logic entirely... but that's what the gaffer says.

So if you ever eat out, your pots and pans will similarly have to be thrown out???!!!
And if you ever buy clothes then the sweing machine will have to be thrown out?
Or if you buy furniture then all your woodworking gear will suffer a similar fate?


That might be worth following up as then you wouldn't be able to help gormless offspring !!!
 
So went to the wine festival.
It was fine, very interesting tasting grape varieties with which we are unfamiliar.

Bought a few bots, about 18. I had to lug them around as we weren't able to do what we did last time when it came to getting them from points of purchase to car. The whole thing has got very official with money having to be paid to enter, not much, €3 each, guards all over the place, so I couldn't simply charge off to the car to chuck bags of bots in as I went as it was parked up a side street outside the park the thing was held in. So we bought much less than last time and tasted far fewer grower's produce as well. Not helped by not getting there before 3 p.m.

But all in all a fun afternoon out. Lautrec which we drove through was having its Pink Garlic festival the same day. Been there, done that, but there are just so many dishes with garlic in that you can sample in one day!

Sleep well folks!! ;) ;) :):)
