only had the car 4 years and always wanted one of them !!!!
I moved into a new cottage once. On the wall in the kitchen was a switch – flicked the switch and a red light came on but nothing really happened so I flicked it off and ignored it for a couple of years.
The two years on it caught my eye again – flicked it on and off a few times, nothing happened but I left it on and went to work.
Got home and there was a curious gurgling bubbling noise coming for from the attic – turned the tap – hot water – well I’ll be damned! Up til then I’d been running the woodburning stove winter and summer (for bloody hours) just to get a bath or hot water for the washing up.
