    Sixteen years ago we had a new gas central heating boiler, the price a couple of £s in excess of £3000. We have just contracted British Gas to install a replacement, the price this time being £3,500 but that includes £800 worth of upgrades not done first time. Allowing for inflation (£3000 then =£4700 today) it effectively means the price has dropped £2000. Not bad.

    Maybe because they're going to make them obsolete in the next ten years or so @BenCotto ;)

    The glitch with the '@' thing has only happened in the last couple of days. These things often seem to be concerning the browser you use or similar. 

    I always told my girls to ask questions. I said that some people think only stupid people ask them, but it's the opposite - it's the smart folk who do it.  :)

    If I try using @username it never appears in red.  If anybody does @KT53 to me I never get any notification.

    That's nuts.  It has never gone red before, but did on this one.

    It should turn pink/red once it shows in the post, but stays black when you're typing. Is that not how it works for you @KT53?

    Probably not, I prefer to keep e-mail traffic to a minimum.

    It is now, but didn't in the past.

    Hard frost last night and my osteos didn't die. Some still have the odd flowers.
    I have had hardy - ish ones before. One survived in the ground for several years but I didn't know the variety. I seem to have found a couple by chance. A white one and a purple one. Fingers crossed.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
