You do the sums.


How show me how do do these 'sums'
I bet you can't do them, on fact suggesting such a thing proves you can't do them.


Someone already has but you chose to ignore them.


No one has.


Anyway the simplest solution to your dilemma is switch the damn things
on on a Monday morning and leave them on until Friday evening.


FFS.

I will NOT break those H&S regs, that the college have set.

If someone wants them on then they'll have to instruct me to leave them on in writing.




That way
the lab will remain warm even with these useless convection heaters and
the huge running costs will come off some other budget.


How do you work that one out, will the heaters leaving the lab and go eleswhere top get their electricity, then return in the morning.?

How are the running costs coming off of someone elses budget ?



You could always do some engineering instead of whining on Usenet.


I'm NOT an engineer we pay engineers to be engineers.

You're obviously not an engineer yuorself so what are you ?
