When I lived in wales I lit the fire connected to the water pipes after I had been out all day, only to hear very strange noises coming from the boiler.

When I went to see what was making the noise, I found that our boiler was no longer the round cylindrical shape it should be, but looked remarkably like a coke can that had been squished in the middle

I remember when we were kids up north (when it really was cold. Every year) we had no central heating, just a coal fire in the lounge. It would often be the case that we'd turn the tap on in the kitchen and ice would come out

We have the heating on all day about 27 degrees. But I find it gets a bit too warm so open the windows for a while.

24/7 - turned down to frost control over night just to stop any pipes freezing

Me likes to be warm

Try as I might. I can't work that one out. You turn the tap on and ice comes out? Is it like one of those ice dispensers you get on one of them there expensive fridge freezer thingies?

Wow you have a tank in your house? Do you have the soldiers to go with it?

Seriously though I would be wise to check that the pipes in your loft and well insulated

If it was down to the missus it would be 24/7 even though the latter part of summer.

I walk in turn it off and throw dressing gowns and cardigans at them!!

I'd do the same but then I would be shown the door after. Don't mess with the lady and her heating. There is also the fact if I turn the heating down she comes to bed with PJ's on and that just is not cool at all.

At the moment I have to switch it on when i`m in the house and off when going out as the timer switch is broken
