I know this problem has been mentioned in an earlier post, but it has just reared its ugly head again. When we changed the registration of the Citroen from UK to ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, despite there being a tow bar fitted, it was not noted on the registration.

Anyone know how to ask for the skin to be left on a pork roast, so that you can get the crackling?? Just had a beautiful loin roast from the butcher, but they cut all the skin off before it is on display, so no nice crunchy bits when roasted.

For those of you, who walk dogs around the San Ruffino tracks. There is an ½ûÂþÌìÌà Woman who sometimes has been seen there with an Alsatian, quite often not on a lead.

RonaldWhat is happening with this site as regard to the connection speed etc. I can usually go for a coffee and cigarette before anything loads.

Stalk & clean 1lb of sloes, prick all over with a darning needle and put in a bottling jar. Add 3-4oz of granulated sugar + a few drops of almond essence or a little Noyeau liqueur.

Anyone have a Canon printer that uses the BCI 24C colour cartridges? I have 5 unused compatible cartridges, as now have a Epson printer. Free to a good home, as against throwing them in the bin!!

Is there a function so that we can insert a PDF or Word document into a post? I have some information for the Energy certificate topic, but cannot see any way to insert it without copying and pasting( PDF of about 7 pages).

The last few weeks, have been walking the dog past the above park area in the evenings. The picnic/viewing area is virtually overgrown, with only the first few metres of grass having been cut, empty plastic bottles strewn around the bins etc.

If you do not have the earth wire, then it is adviseable to get one installed. It should be a low cost fitting, as only a single cable. Some conduit down the outside wall to a spike in the ground, so very little disruption.

Would certainly not normally use a washing machine on a unearthed supply. unless it was double insulated. You could make the whole water supply live and it has happened, through a earthing fault. RCD would possibly cut it off quickly, but may get a shock before

There should be a earth wire from the fuse box. You may need to open it up after switching it off to check. Look at the feed in to the fuse box to see if there is a green/green-yellow earth into the input supply. If you remove the wall socket cover you should also be able to see if that has a earth wire as well. Not a very good answer Penny if the appliance is not earth isolated, you could be encouraging them to electrocute themselves!!!

Best Western are a good hotel group, usually if I go to a meeting that is the hotel I am booked into, great service.

Most calculations that we consider are based on a whole house heating module, at a temperature of 20C internal. With underfloor heating, this could be reduced down to 19C due to the different heating effect, but that is purely a matter of personal choice. Underfloor, is the most economical system as water temps do not have to be very high at around 35C, whereas a radiator system needs at least 50C. A heat pump is designed to run at 100% of the heating need, but you can reduce it to 70% of the heating requirement. Simple terms... house size 100 sq mtrs close off 30 sq mtrs and only heat 70 sq mtrs. We heat all 120 sq mtrs here and at the moment the temperature is set @ 18.5C which is comfortable. The maximum that we have ever used with the underfloor is 21C. Hope that answers your question.

Would be about my calculation as well Sagraiasolar, unless there is gas involved as well. We have a installation quite close to you in a 400 sq mtr, fairly modern house, with 2x 17Kw Gshp, running rads. What would the wood heating equivalent be for the 34Kwh required? This was a retrofit by the way.

Thu, 11/01/2012 - 18:50

Sorry Kensington2 if you took offence It is a lot of wood, but for 500 sq mtrs, the stoves will probably soon get through it. Knew a guy with a 360 sq mtr house who got through 150 quintale a year, plus about 3000 euro of lpg.

No problem, next time I hear of something going on there that may be interesting, will let you know. They had one about the Sibillini witch, but it was all in ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, so could not follow it. Eros, at the cheese shop I have mentioned before, is quite involved in these presentations, as is Guissepe from the restaurant at San Ruffino.
