WierdoAgain60. Why did you go 6 weeks without food? Was it to lose weight? How did you feel? I'm thinking maybe I could shed a few pounds this way.

Re your central heating remote- I had to have the system changed when I bought this house and thought nowt of the fact that they put in a manual controller for it.

Then it went wrong and I said to the plumber of the time "Simple....simple.....simple" and he said the digital one was simple. It wasn't - I couldnt use it. I was not a happy bunny - especially as it turns out the firm concerned was still making a -very very similar - manual one and so I wondered why he hadnt done that one for me in the first place!!!!! Cue for he had to change it again - back to a new copy of the original one.

I've learnt by now that things have got to have manual controls and "whytheheck" should I even try to deal with digital/smart etc gadgets?
