Register him for an Ann summers catalogue. An ex tried that with me once to my work address. Except he put it for my attention so obviously I opened it

Done

I thought on the way home on this some more...What about registering him for brochures on hearing aids, mobility scooters etc

He sounds like me, although add car/house keys to that list!

Although if you can't trust the people you work with it's a worry!

Also what kind of hearing aid does he have? Even over ear headphones are likely to be uncomfy i'd have thought if he has the big blocky type.

I'm still thoroughly confused by the heathearinging aid question several hours later

Haha whoops, thought i was editing a post in the thread asking about an MP3 player.

No wonder it never got a response!

Although it seems to have inspired Secretspy with their comment about signing up for hearing aids!

If I organised a meet, would anyone be interested? Probably London, unless there's somewhere else which is better suited?

Brighton/ London I would try and get to

I don't understand why my radiators are still boiling hot when the heating is off :/

How long ago did you turn it off? It will take ages for them to cool down properly. Hot water inside hot metal.

It was turned on for an hour at 1.15 ish. Normally it will cool down really fast. The boiler says a status of C and radiators are still really hot. I've had to turn the boiler off for now and open my window as it's so hot.
Thermostat is on 10 °C

Just one thing after another right now

What was the boiler doing?

No it won’t, my radiators will go cold after an hour of the heating being off.

Heating the radiators even though the heating is turned off

So the burner and pump were running? Do you control via thermostat or directly from the boiler?

Yes. Turned it on at the control panel and set the thermostat to 18 wouldn't come on. Turned it up to 21 and it finally clicked and came on this was after it was already on for a good 40 mins at 18. So it was only on for 20 mins at 21°C as I pressed the button for 1 hr. This was around 1.15

The boiler status says C and keeps heating up the radiators. I've had to turn the boiler off for the moment. (Turned it off and on again a couple of times but hasn't made a difference)

What kind of boiler is it and is your thermostat battery powered?

It's an Ideal and I have no idea!

Ok. Well C on your boiler should mean that there's a demand for heating so the problem is probably with your thermostat. Which is good news because they can be had rather cheaply.
Can you move it around the house or is it stuck to the wall?

It's stuck to the wall

Ah that's annoying. Probably not battery powered. May need to get someone out to take a look at it after all.

Just double check it's not a wireless one on a wall mount - mine has a bracket to hold it, but is battery powered.
