(Re Woodburners )Are CO detectors widely available and mandatory as in the UK? I reckon we all should have them. Not seen them locally.

Free prescriptions but crap weather, hopefully I'll need less medicine when I get regular doses of sunshine! (I'll continue to stockpile while I can mind)
Hire a car and tour round, there's lots to see. We had some great holidays there. Hotel Angedras in Alghero is a nice little hotel for a few nights.i'm sure you'll have a geat time.
That surprises me Lorraine, generally Spain is pretty cheap for medicine, I bought betnovate cream for 3 euro a tube, when it was more like 7 euro in Italy. you were certainly being ripped off as they say..
That's bad news I was planning to put up my 3kw array next year! No doubt the price of panels will decrease if the feed in subsidy is removed, might still be worthwhile for the free electric.
America the land of the free eh? Unfortunately unrestrained capitalism has it's downside, especially if you are "poor", and there's a lot of people in that category, shame really for such a wealthy country.
A good wheeze would be to start stockpiling the ventolin and steroid inhalers now Lorraine!
Could be a woodburner is not feasible in certain flats I expect, and then there's lugging the wood up...
Hurro Badger, how can you tell if it's made in China ? What brand names should I avoid? PS I remember that, post war, the Japanese named an industrial town Usa so they could print made in USA on the box of any products.
Capito, I'll have my solar PV at 30 and my wet panels at 57, but I'll need to watch out for the wind I expect! PS you've also made me think more about an air source heat pump, however i'm still keen to be frugal and stick with a 3kw supply.I'll bash on with the insulation first.
Interesting, I always understood that to maximise solar gain in the winter you needed a steeper angle, so for our latitude, 40 degrees the optimum winter angle is 57 degrees . So I'm surprised that 30 degrees works so well. I'll have to experiment myself.
