Should help their lockdown, at least. 

Good, nowhere to go anyway.

Apparently missing us here. Getting colder though which will be nice.

Im told theres inches in westhoughton

Nowt here but i can see it over winter hill way

Quite enjoying the moaning coming from the North, honestly, I thought we were made from more stoic stock. The bellyaching about London, the amount of self pity is unbearable 😫

Who is moaning

Ive just had the news on

Sounds like the day after tmrw

You just seem to spend a lot of time focused on us all down here 😉

Heating’s just packed up

Top timing

Had a bit of it last night. Didn’t half confuse the youngest dog

It’s hard not to when that’s all anything that’s supposed to be National is focussed upon what affects London / Home Counties

Don’t confuse that observation with self pity

Aye plenty here today. Took the dog over winter hill late morning and it was pretty deep in places.  Absolutely heaving at the pike.  Nice to see lots of families out and about but sadly as well as lots of litter, I saw 3 big range rovers driving past the pigeon tower and generally spoiling the ambience. Obviously couldnt be arsed walking, the fat fecks.

The top vermiculite insulation block cracked through and collapsed onto the fire in my stove earlier. 

Left if for a while to cool a little. Rescued the embers, removed all the blocks, used them as templates to cut new ones from a replacement sheet. Straight back in, embers on and fire restarted. About 30mins in all.

Bollocks to boilers! :)

Manifold gone? Is it all run off the same boiler?

You were the one who couldn't wait to tell everyone you were going for a coupler of pints in a boozer before you were locked down, plus southerners are cunts

What’s a manifold?!

yes, all off the one boiler 

Spider can sort you out some new gear from the Czech Republic. You just have to wait 8 months for delivery 😁

Sounds like a zone valve. 
 

Good news - cheap

Bad news - you’re unlikely to have one in your kitchen drawer. As Esco says, not a UK manufactured part but there’ll be stock on those 😁

Manifold is the separation unit that diverts hot water where it’s needed.

Unlikely to be a major issue though if you’ve got hot water in other parts of the system.
