RE: Radiator efficiency...

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

I do have a thermometer in the room, - a Nice stainless steel LCD affair
with clock/calendar/thermometer all built in...

It's currently showing 17 degrees C - that's middle of the day, Central
heating currently off, but had been on for a couple of hours previously.

Perhaps I should attempt to persuade her to let me put in a heated lavvy
seat then!?!?!
