Our Archaic Office Boiler (Guy Andrews)

You’d think that being a plumbing and heating company would mean that we have a top of the range, sleek and stylish looking boiler in our office. One that operates at the highest energy efficiency, with the latest heating controllers on the market; keeping our admin staff warm in the Winter and cutting our fuel consumption. Quite the contrary.

The PGS Office Boiler

The reality is that our boiler is probably older than some of the people who work in our office (and no, we don’t employ a toddler workforce). The acutely named “Marathon” boiler by Myson had to be awakened from it’s coma by one of our most senior engineers when it was found locked in a cage in the corner of the new PGS office.

Since it’s successful resuscitation, it’s been proudly heating the office – giving us reliable warmth and comfort throughout this bitterly cold Winter.  Yes, we should probably get a new one – and we will – but our engineers always like a challenge and awaking this monstrosity was definitely one of them.

Totting up points – could you lose your licence? By Sean Joyce, motoring law partner at Stephensons Solicitors LLP

With constant changes to road traffic laws, and more than 12 million road traffic offences committed annually in the UK at the last count, the threat of motoring prosecutions is an increasing hazard for drivers.

Most people would admit they have a few points on their license, but what happens if you have nine points already, and just one more conviction, perhaps for speeding or using a mobile phone, could tip you over the limit?

Under what is known as ‘totting up provisions’, if you accrue 12 or more points in a three-year period, you will be liable for a driving prosecution. In fact this would be a six-month ban as a minimum if it’s your first “totting” ban and a minimum of 12 months if it is your second within three years.

The effect of a ban on many drivers could mean the loss of their job, their livelihood and could seriously impact on their lives.

If you find yourself in a similar situation it is always advisable to seek the advice of a motoring solicitor because they may be able to prove that the driver would suffer exceptional hardship if they lost their licence.

Exceptional hardship would need to be proved to be something out of the ordinary, but could include losing your job, or if a third party, for example a family member, would experience hardship if you were to lose your licence.

This bloke is fixing something

When thinking about getting some serious work done on your bathroom, it is worth thinking about water saving products as well as aesthetics. It might not be top of your priority list, but a good quality water efficient shower could save you money while performing the same as a regular shower.

It is highly likely that over the next few years, we will all see our water bills shoot up as we have our energy bills. It hasn’t become apparent to most people yet, but in the south east especially, we’re facing a real problem with our water supplies. Believe it or not, over half of England is considered ‘water – stressed’ by the Environment Agency, and the population of England and Wales has less water per person per year than Mediterranean countries like Italy and Spain.

THIS IS A TEST BY SARA DIXON

Small dogs often enjoy sitting high up

BY the way it is pronounced I’m not sure if I should be jiving on the water.

I think the wind is in my ears – pulling away the correct sailing terms.

For heeling, the term for the boat diagonally pitching into the water at one side I’ve been hearing keeling.

The bow, the front of the dinghy, has become the prow.

I’m surprised Sam’s patience has not been worn thin by my strange demands.

“Don’t talk to me,” I tell him in an emphatic way. “My concentration is being broken.”

He has told me to look up at the sail to pull it tight as we zig zag across the lake.

On reflection how on earth is he supposed to teach me if I demand he doesn’t speak?

The problem is my concentration is so fragile sailing and chewing gum at the same time would prove a difficulty.

Last week we sailed at 90 degrees to the wind back and forth across the reservoir as I learned tack, turning the boat with the wind to the side of us.

This week he is checking my tacking is good before he teaches me to jive? No Gyb.

After ten-minutes on the water he tells me, “Right, you’ve got tacking down.”

There is one major problem though. I can’t stop tacking. Turning the boat this way and that, when I don’t need to or don’t want to. I’m am squiggling us across Stoke Newington West Reservoir when I should be sailing the dingy in a nice straight line turning only when we approach the sides of the reservoir.

“You get it right and then you lose it,” Sam gently tells me in the classroom after our on-the-water lesson. I sit on a plastic chair toes pointing downwards, my shoes squisherly wet to the point of drip-dripping on the floor. I’ve over steered the boat so many times the sides became deeply submerged in the water.

On a white board he’s teaching me about the wind and how to position the boat for maximum effect. The physics of sailing after my physical lesson.

“I get it straight and then I lose it…” I think. He’s right. I don’t know why I do that I’m definitely sure I cannot blame Sam for talking as I try to sail, that would be like blaming the faults of my overthinking-can-only-do-one-thing-at-a-time brain on my instructor.

The strange thing is I get the most complicated manoeuvre down pat in three goes.

I’m gybing like a good-un.

Sam has taken me to shore to learn how to do this. My ego is glad to hear he does for everyone.

Gybing is when you turn the boat when the wind is behind you. The sail slackens as you gently push the tiller across the boat while you are poised in the middle ready to shift sides as the boom and the sail bangs across the boat.

The stronger the wind the bigger the bash.

Thankfully he has taken us to a not so windy point of the lake so I can practise my gybing without the big bash.

I think it’s meant to be complicated but I find it so simple, so easy, crouch in the centre of the boat. Push the tiller over to the other side wait for the boom to go over, cross over to the other side at the same time as the sail while you keep facing forward and sit on the other side of the boat.

How can I do this yet get confused by sailing across the lake?
