I couldn't get out heating to listen to me, it wouldn't switch off with a timer, I had to manually do it. Thinking of the bills I panicked and called someone, turned out the system has a Frost Protect and that was overriding anything I wanted to do. Just shows, I'm always learning in this job. I did say in my interview a couple years back that heating and boilers really aren't something I've dealt with a lot [--- (The seasonal word only permitted in December) ---_laugh]

Not at my school fortunately, but my old school had issues last Thursday, they had a leak which shorted out the heating system in the main building. The fire brigade had to attend as there was acrid smoke filling the corridors, there was quite a bit water damage to. On Friday 3 year groups had to stay at home, no heating plus the water damage, unfortunately for my son and daughter their year groups were in for the last day.
