Depending on water pressure using a flow heater or gas heating without a storage can also end up either too cold or too hot. Only central heating (or a boiler for the really old fashioned) has the advantage of a very easily adjustable temperature in my book. | ||

no I've got the right one, the left one's even worse Depending on water pressure using a flow heater or gas heating without a storage can also end up either too cold or too hot. This is my problem and assumed what the discussion was about, I didn't even know that the two tap thing existed. | ||

I would suggest she has more in common with Ed Miliband than Margaret Thatcher. https://capx.co/theresa-may-and-the-battle-for-the-conservative-partys-soul/ May's chief of staff wrote an article last year saying: “the libertarians who make it a mark of their ideological machismo that they quote Ayn Rand, whose heroic character Howard Roark boasted in The Fountainhead: ‘I recognise no obligations toward men except one: to respect their freedom.’” People like this, Timothy said, should be kept “away from the cameras, out of high office and ideally nowhere near any position of influence in the Party” The conservative party has tacked very heavily leftwards and while its going to win them a thumping majority im not sure its any good for the country or economy. | ||

For comparison: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GmCm2TS.png) Drastic reduction could probably result in negative pop. growth and it seems a fair bit away from threatening 'cohesive society' as May calls it in that article | ||

Still, a lot of people will vote for Conservatives even just for Brexit itself. Edit: http://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/wvyc3lofp5/SundayTimesResults_170519_VI_W.pdf 44% Conservative 35% Labour There goes the dream of 100-seat majority. :D | ||

Charging employers for hiring non-EU nationals (soon probably EU nationals) is a way to hit small business for sure. Confirming hard Brexit and hoping for free trade deal is a fairytale that's not going to happen. Replicating EU's free trade deals 100% is another fairytale. Cutting immigration to under 100,000 is just a lie in the near future. Still, a lot of people will vote for Conservatives even just for Brexit itself. Edit: http://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/wvyc3lofp5/SundayTimesResults_170519_VI_W.pdf 44% Conservative 35% Labour There goes the dream of 100-seat majority. :D They actually did have a 100 seat majority in the latest model. 9% behind still means they lose all marginal seats. It's worrying how well Labour are doing, though. But the Tories have no good policies at all, so it's not really surprising. Most of their support comes from respecting the referendum result and not being Corbyn. | ||
