If we do get a deal, what am I going to do with my shed full of beans?

Judging the level of intellect of some MPs, there is a case for being able to negociate a trade deal with it.

Heating?!! Eee by gum! It's only November. The heating is only on for a few weeks every winter when it gets proper cold. Positive outside temperatures are not cold in the house.
Ask Rog about stone built houses. Ours is only stone at the front and is still cold in July.

New build. Lots of insulation to the point it is was unbareable this past summer and the fridge freezer was working it's whatsits off trying to keep cool. If we have anouther summer like that I may need to fit external window shutters.

An alternative solution to your steaming problem could be a heated mirror, often incorporating a cabinet behind it as a bonus storage space.
No link for you, but a quick look on ebay might help.

Ron.

I would love one but as Dave says the sparky work involed would likely be significant and I am a tight Yorkshireman at heart.

It's on the list for the ~~mansion~~ house in the US

FTFY.

I find that can make the situation worse, especially if it is cold outside.

Seeing as there are some exitable responses on the other electric advice thread I thought I would throw my question in to the hat for your amusement/vitriol/candour

I have an in-line ceiling extractor fan wired in to the bathroom. It's a 21/33W 100mm fan wired up in timer mode on a 3 pole throw switch. The house is 5 years old so I assume the sparky that installed the house electrics did so to Part P.

I would like to add a second fan because I like extremely hot showers followed by the Army tradition of wet-shaving which requires the use of a mirror. This is often steamed up so I am exploring the addition of a second additional fan. I will obviously need a vent on the door to allow the extra air in to replace that which is sucked out but my question is this. Can I simply wire it in in parallel, i.e. similar to a spur wiring on a socket? I will acquire an identical fan and wire it the same but not sure on the legalities of this.

Thing is, if there had been as much public say and involvment of such an important decision back in '92,'99,'03 and especially '09 then we would have had a membership that the majority of the public could have gotten behind or at least shaped in some way through democratic means. Instead we have had decades of conflating being elected a representative of the people with being given an agenda to do whatever someone likes vis-a-vis Europe. All parties are guilty of this.

We finally had a vote for in or out at a point where the UK was increasingly frustrated with the EU and because Cameron had the guile to oppose Junker's election to high office he deliberately made it difficult for the then PM. This was probably the nail in the coffin for the EU's relationship with the UK. Until the EU makes itself a club that citizens wish to identify with rather than just be a member of because it is convenient/easy/good for the economy/etc then it will continuie to have a problem with the people it is supposed to represent.

Remember that they gave Ireland a referendum on closer integration about a decade ago and it failed. So they had another until it finally passed. The EU is not a democratic institution. It is an institution masquerading as a democratic body. To even consider a second vote on Brexit is absurdly unequal in the balance of public voice. PM Brown signed us up to the current incarnation of the EU despite the fact that polls showed the majority of the public were against it. Where were the cries for a public vote then?

If reterminating the ends has improved matters then could it be related to oxidisation on the connections and thus could happen again unless the cause is found and remedied?
