Good call! :)

Of course as long as the occupancy detection doesn't involve SWMBO 
pressing a button before leaving the house ;)

Obviously the occupancy detection would need to detect wether someone 
was in the house or not reliably enough to stop them being frozen while
veging out on the couch :)

Sad but true! :o

Less said about the recent Glasgow water supply problems the 
better...... "We only pay compensation when there's no water 
supplied..... there was water supplied to your homes, OK you had to boil
it before drinking it/ washing dishes with it/ etc etc, but it was still
supplied..." :o

It would have to be very discreet.... and not get in the way when 
(especially) SWMBO stretches legs, moves legs over side of bath etc etc
etc....
