Winter cooling water?
don't worry Andy, being in deepest darkest Durham, we also turned our heating on a couple of weeks ago, but that was due to the servants in the lower quarters complaining, we haven't bothered heating bedrooms 8, 9 and ten this year.
nah, really it's because the wife complains 'it's cold when I get up', oh yeah, try getting up and out the house at 4am, I had -3'C on the car gauge this morning.
I got told from a heating engineer friend last year that for those people with hot water tanks, during the winter it's quite a bit cheaper to have your heating/hot water on continuously rather than on for a 3 or 4 hours in the morning and the same in the evening, so the heat just has to trickle on all the time rather than heating vast amounts of water, I can see where he is coming from, just don't know whether to believe it.
