The boiler is a Potterton Prima B about 6 years old.

Remember not all that energy is wasted unless you never use the boiler.
Some of it will go towards keeping the heat exchanger warm, and in cold
weather help to heat the room.

The same is true of all the "wasted" energy from all those filament
light bulbs, TV and video left on standby, wall warts left plugged in
and switched on, etc, etc. If you really want to save energy, turn the
thermostat down or wear an extra layer of clothing.
