Advantages over what? The space saving is minimal, and never seems
to be a problem when you recommend a heatbank. A certain
inconsistency......

quite. The idiot IMM also favours modern houses which are built like
rabbit hutches (space and quality wise) and so have no room for a
storage cylinder anyway. One of the great advantages of older houses is
that there's room to move about.

This fool obviously has never been in modern house. You can keep your cold,
damp asthma infested old crocks.

For your info on your lovable old house...


There are currently three million people in the UK living in 1.5 million
homes officially classified as unfit, and this situation is unlikely to
improve in the foreseeable future. 2.5 million homes suffer from severe
damp, and the cost of remedying these conditions is estimated between 46 and
70 billion pounds.

House conditions were found to contribute to "chronic chest disease",
hypothermia and digestive condition.

The above was some of the findings of a report commissioned by the Joseph
Rowntree Organisation published by the National Housing Forum in 1996. The
situation has changed little since then. In fact the UK (pop 60 million)
last year built only 3 times as many homes as Ireland (pop 3.4 million). The
situation is chronic, and the land issue is at the base of all the ills.
