Latest Moan From You and Me 2025

People who post the latest 'hack's which are just rehashes of things which we did 40 years ago. Latest one is how to keep your house warm. Well we bled our radiators regularly in our first house in 1970 odd. We had thermostatic valves fitted on the rads in our second house in the 1980's (and put reflectors behind the rad to send the heat into the rooms). Double glazing, ditto. Insulation in the loft? ditto.
Are people so thick that they have to be told these things every winter?

 

@Palustris - yes!

 

There isn't an app for it

 

I wouldn't know how to do that .

 

It's probably in the instructions.

I think there is a list of makes of televisions with code numbers next to them and you select the code for your telly.
It was a few years ago when I did it thou.

 

And I probably wouldn't understand those either

 

@Michael Hewett that sounds like my wife. She won't RTFM and then moans because she doesn't understand how things work.

 

I

 

I wish I was at school today with all these projects rather than the big exam. Yes I did study hard but when I went to sit the exams my brain went into panic mode and went blank. I am sure I would fail a written driving test today.

 

@KT53, RTFM?

 

@ViewAhead, I was wondering about that. Read The (something) Manual perhaps?

 

Ah, right! I can probably decode the F then!

Thanks, @Plantminded.
