I'm thinking, "what the hell is 'bleed a radiator'", not realizing,
for a few seconds, this does not mean a car radiator. *I suspect a
large majority of folks in the US haven't a clue about how to bleed a
steam radiator, having never seen one. *Are there even radiators west

They're pretty rare in the Midwest, too, outside of large cities.

its the UK, cooler temps and all HW radiator heating.

That also accounts for "rewire a plug", I believe. Harry can tell
us whether the U.K. has/hasn't standardized on a single
type of plug.
