Brian Best to fix it when it's broken, which in my case is zero times in 15 years. If I'd had one of those warranty things from them, I would have spent the equivalent of 3 replacement boilers by now. -- A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, "A beer please, and one for the road." |

You'd wait until the house burned down before buying insurance? Virtually nobody plans ahead, or can afford to. More fool them. Hardly the same thing is it? You need insurance BEFORE a fire. The boiler can be fixed when it breaks. Which mine hasn't done in 15 years, saving me thousands in insurance - enough for three new boilers in fact. -- TEACHER: Clyde, your composition on "My Dog" is exactly the same as your brother's.
