Victorian Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 No, but browsing for layering options. The annual consideration and rejection of purchasing a Canada Goose coat will begin.

It’s clearly annual pilgrimage for you. Think of it as an investment piece, I have one, parka, and it good (not as warm as I hoped but I’m a cold blooded soul) however, I will concede haven’t bought or thought about another ‘heavy’ winter jacket since. Defo go for one of the more classic style, stay away from the trend jackets as you will regret it. Ohh heating is on last couple of days. Whilst underfloor heating been on in bathrooms for over a month now, **** walking on cold floor. I’m not a fan of the climate in this country. The dark nights don’t help the situation either. Maybe. Not sure I can be at ease with dropping that kind of money on something that will live in the loft for 7 or 8 months. Oh hello Mr Berghaus / other over-rated pap brand.

FWJ Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Kind of along these lines - I moved house in January. It’s not that big but it’s on 3 floors. Gas central heating. It’s also got one of those ‘smart’ thermometers that you can control with your phone. (It’s too ****ing smart for me.) Weird thing is the radiators on the top level sometimes work fine, other times not at all. Stone cold. They are turned on, they don’t need bled. It’s not just the one, it’s all of them and they are stone cold, definitely no hot water going through them at all. The other radiators work fine when the heating is on. Any ideas? (Incidentally there’s a shower room on the top floor and there’s always hot water for it and the sink) Edited October 1, 2021 by FWJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When its low, the water isn't making it up to your top floor ? Is there a pressure gauge visible on your boiler ? Or maybe the pump sometimes just decides to take it easy ? Is the water for your shower heated by the same gas-fired boiler ? Or is it an electric shower ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t thought about the water pressure TBH. It’s the fact that when they don’t work they completely don’t work that I don’t understand. I’ve been putting it off over the summer but I’ll just need to bite the bullet and get it looked at. (£££) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Striker Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Talking of how to keep warm .......... has anyone purchased a fleece jacket recently ?
