It also meant I could go for condensing boilers as I wasn't looking

I suspect the goal posts have changed since, but the principles still
hold, especially in these days when boiler reliability is at an all time
low.

Mine has run unserviced for 14 years. Buy a Baxi.

So, you're comparing a boiler built 15 years ago with one built today ...

You make Harry sound sensible

PHucker makes Mad Gerald The Insane sound sensible. In other groups he is
boasting that he saved a fiver on having dumpy bags of gravel delivered by
loading 1.5 tonnes of gravel into the back of a Golf.

Since I got them for free, I very much doubt the guy wanted to deliver them.

So, what was silly about paying absolutely nothing (except maybe £2 of diesel) to get 1.5 tonnes of gravel? How much would your local DIY shop sell and deliver that for?
