Perhaps it will mean something to someone with more expertise and knowledge than me

There was a consultation to make our estate 20mph.

As I pointed out, at the minute it's 30mph, and as most people drive around at anything between 40 - 60 mph, spending a fortune putting up 20mph signs won't make a blind bit of difference.

Surprised it has a DC to DC converter as I doubt its a PHEV or MHEV

Thinking about it, yes, strange message.

Surely they're going to encourage drivers to concentrate on their speedometer rather than the road.

Just a thought.

It will have a voltage converter though, or has that nothing to do with it.

As far as I'm aware it's neither.

I was 70 last week (yes, I kept that quiet) and I am at the peak of my fitness. Honest 

 You are now in Gods waiting room. Expect a bony finger to tap you on the shoulder very soon.

Come with me old lad he'll say, your time here is done.

Roll on 

You're not 'proper old' until you have a beige cardigan with wooden buttons you can dribble into, whilst aimlessly staring out of the window of a care home for the terminally bewildered.

Ok. You heard it here first, I'm not old. 

Yes you are, there was a time when I was twice as old as you, I'm not any more, so you're catching me up fast!

Might have to get a plumber in, getting too old for this.

Is it a shower unit or shower over the bath. 

If it's over the bath, remove the panel and you might find isolator valves under there along with the pump.

No it's a separate shower.

There is a valve to stop the cold water tank draining and a valve to shut off the hot water tank to the taps, I think.

Do you not have a shut off valve on both tanks 

Too slow... Must be on Spanish time

I think so, but what about the pump?

If we went on holiday in this country, we went on 'speck'.

Sussed out a few places when we got there, and chose the one that looked the best.
