Great, now I don't know if I've been insulted or complimented.

I thought hospitals etc had to have thermostats and so on already.

I find the fact that, yet again, no other vehicle was involved far more
interesting.

So much bleating about it being unfair how bikers are 'picked on' yet the
stats (manipulated as they are/n't) would indicate "we're" killing
ourselves.

 

Don't worry, flash[1], some of us got it.

[1] #ah, ah!

 

I'm the black and white thirties original rather than the dashing eighties
remake.

 

This was mid 90s. I hope they have them fitted now.

 

My experience has been it's generally at least 50% of my fault in any
accident I've had on a bike; if not more. Many of the earlier accidents
were 100% my fault and didn't involve other vehicles (one wet day I
dropped my 250 *3* times on the way home from school since I was going
too fast; crap tyres, crap suspension, crap brakes and crap rider).

Fortunately (well I'm in an optimistic mood) the bikes were slower and
the traffic wasn't as heavy so I got away with more than I would if I
were 17 now.

I think we *are* killing ourselves.

 

I remember that; it made me feel a little ill when I thought about it.

That's Princess Margaret naked, you understand.

 

Oh, that's ok. BTW I'm stalking for your address at the moment; expect
a late night / early morning visit.

 

Didn't he drown first?

 

Some of us didn't read the Des post (he said to excuse himself)

 

Jesus, you don't *have* to read *every* post? <fx kicks commode into touch>
Why didn't someone tell me.

 

*Classic* Mick post!

 

Yer right.

It was quite cynical. As the old man didn't have any relative they put
in a bed and assumed he would die quickly as he had lost a large
percentage of his skin. When he didn't die they panicked and sent him
to East Grinstead. He was still lucid enough to tell them there how it
happened. They then called the police.

 

As I said don't knock those who are better informed than you

 

We did, but you must have missed that post.

This is nothing particularly new. There have always been building regs that
have determined things like the height of handrails to stop you falling down
the stairs etc. I think plumbing (well the water supply side anyway) is
something our European partners generally do a lot better than us. Having a
traditional british shower that varies from boiling hot to freezing cold and
doesn't seem to remain stable whatever you do doesn't seem to me to be a
tradition worth preserving. I'm sure that if you insist on having a 60°C
shower or bath you will still be able to do this with a little modification
to your plumbing. Afterall once a house has been built and inspectected you
can for all practical purposes do what you like; at least until something
goes wrong. Although there is talk of MoT type tests for commercial
buildings I think it will be along time before you get a building inspector
knocking on your door demanding to inspect your domestic plumbing.

 

It sounds like you have a combination boiler i.e. one the heats the water
for the central heating as well as heating the water for washing up,
showering etc upon demand and has little or no storage.

Many systems have a separate boiler and hot water cylinder which stores a
reasonable quantity of hot water. To prevent the breeding of bacteria such
as legionella and the like this needs to be stored at a high temperature say
60°C. Water at this temperature is excellent for things like washing up but
too hot for handwashing, bathing and showering. Hence the mixer tap to mix
it with cold water. The problem with a manual mixer tap is that if the hot
and cold supply pressures are imbalanced, which is often the case in UK
houses it is difficult to maintain a constant mixed temperature. Hence a
thermostatic mixer tap which is designed to do just that.
