single pipe heating systems with combi boilers

[D_Hailsham]

Having to pay for gas applies to everyone, and therefore it was your statement, D_H, that would meet the definition of a non sequitur.

You have not bothered to read what I said.

You wrote: "As long as the heating works I don't see what the problem is. Your not paying for it remember."

I took that to mean that you thought he was not paying for the heating. If you are saying that you meant he was not paying for the heating system, I can't see what relevance that has to your first sentence. Its a non sequitur.

Having ascertained that "your not paying for it" referred to paying for the heating system, not the actual heating cost, I suggested that the sentence in blue did not follow logically from the sentence in green and was, therefore, a non sequitur.

My main concern was that the system wasn't efficient and therefore costing me more than it should be in heating bills. Even when my heating is on full my house is still freezing (and yes I have bled the radiators) to the point that you can see your breath.

I wasn't expecting my boiler to be changed, just the pipework and radiators which I feel is only fair as I pay the same rent as everyone else, if not more than most as I do actually pay rent for those who seem to be looking down their noses at me for living in a council house.

For the record I'm a she not a he

That would be down to user and poor insulation, upgrading to two pipes will not give you any benefits or improve the output from the boiler.

That is not surprising and is one of the problems with a small one pipe system.

You really must stick to repairing boilers Tony, because when it comes to Systems you clearly haven't a clue.

must really stick in a couple of guys throats on here that they are classed as working class.

If you live in council accomadation then beggars can't be choosers; they have finite resources and allocate them accordingly.

If your not happy rent privately or buy; the taxpayer has bigger fish to fry.

I bet you`ll be @ Thatchers funeral waving the Union Flag + singing Land of Hope + Glory

I'm not a fan of Thatcher at all. I'm a fan of people who work hard, pay their taxes and make their own way in life rather than those who want everything given to them on a plate by the state.

EH council rent can be more expensive than buying

depends what your buying. council rents are generally 50-75% of the private market rent for that property.

Point being??

My point being that anyone who rents privately or buys their own house would pay alot more than a council tnt and so expect a higher spec house, maintained to a better standard.

If you live in a council house you live with whatever heating system they provide; just because the neighbours get a new boiler doesn't entitle you to one. If you don't like that then move elsewhere and pay alot more rent for the privelege.

Ohwhy didnt you say i was getting the impression you thought they where scum and didnt pay there way when in reality they actually probably pay for the house 3 times over in a lifetime of renting

 

[doitall]

Most of the council houses around here were built in the times of £2000,00 3 bed semi's, and big gardens.

Not very clever then are they?

 

[namsag]

All depends how you look at ,they never have a mortgage hanging over there heads or danger of going into negative equity.

my point was you get what you pay for; you cannot have cheap rents and expect all mod cons to be replaced on a regular basis before they have reached the end of their working life. Upgrades and improvements are done when absolutely nessecary and not before. If your not happy then rent or buy elsewhere. Simples.
