Never had a pilot light!

I'd be interested to know what proportion of new boilers have
them...

I've never had a new boiler. I take it they start with an electric
spark like modern cookers? I've never known a cooker sparker to
wear out, so I guess the boilers don't either?

Well you are not that knowledgeable are you really? Petrol cars have
"sparkers" AKA spark plugs, and if you drive, then you know that
they wear out quite regularly - so why wouldn't those used on
boilers and cookers be any different?

You are a little tinker aren't you with your teasing little idiocies?

It's great to see that you really enjoy being laughed at or the butt
of many jokes and obscenities.

I'm currently laughing at you, as you don't seem to realise that a
car spark plug operates 1000s of times a minute. Your boiler doesn't
start that many times in a day.

You have yet to realise that the principle is the same and erosion occurs at
the tips of both.

My boiler fires up quite often during the day and the boiler igniter has
been replaced on several occasions due spark erosion at the tip.

Never mind, you'll still be laughed at and be the butt of jokes and abuse
simply because of your idiocies while you still continue to post as you do.
