I agree the diagram looks grossly misleading. But we must assume that
the wire marked 'live' is indeed a direct connection to live.

Thanks Roger. I seem to have misled people here by my rather flippant
remark above, challenging the use of the phrase "switched live".

I already know precisely how the thermostat works, I can even identify
the connection wires myself if I want. I was just asking to see if
there's a simpler way to do it than by tracing them back to the boiler
control box.

As to Adam's question, Does the boiler actually work without the missing
roomstat? A: I haven't tried it yet. Why do you ask?
