Off topic radiator question

0scar

The radiators in my flat all have little taps to turn them off. I am in my living room a lot but go into the loo relatively rarely so I've turned the radiator off in there. As winter approaches my pee has started to steam in the icy air (nice - like an outdoor toilet) so I was wondering: If the boiler's on anyway, does it save money to have some radiators off?
Thanks!

Mister W

You really have to ask????

Yes, of course it saves money. The fewer rooms you heat the less the boiler has to work and the less gas it uses. If it didn't then it would cost the same to heat a 4 bedroom house as a 1 bedroom flat!

I knew it! I have been accused of irrational Northern tightness so I thought I'd check. Thanks Mr W, the radiator can go back off and I'll just hang a woolie hat on the door.

Is it possible to have an 'off topic' discussion in Cake Stop?

I mean how are topics like Strictly Come Dancing, the time people go to bed, whether your heating is on, the Haka, girls in lycra short (mmmm), mundane conversations and poppies ON topic??

A conversation about bikes would be OT in here.

Only if the thread was ontop of the hazelnut filled caramel bar - otherwise it would just be Topic
