I think it might be a bit big for me so I’ll pass mate, but thank you anyway.

Hey @King_Saxlingham, I’m interested in the dhb jacket. What’s the sizing like? I’m 6ft as well, normally a medium for jerseys (64kg).
Thanks!

Wasn’t sure where else to put this so please direct me if there’s somewhere more appropriate.
Does anyone else find Garmin’s elevation calculations for a saved course wildly off? For example I created a new course this morning, which it said was 515m of climbing. I followed the route turn for turn and it ended up being 700m. The distance was pretty much right, but that discrepancy is so big that it’s a bit annoying…some days you just really don’t want to climb right?
Using an Edge 130 which has the latest software etc, if that makes a difference!

Thanks all, much appreciated. I’m out for the day now but a few different things for me to look into there, cheers!

& @Airhead thank you both, appreciate that my woeful explanation/knowledge on this probably makes it hard to help.
I’ve added photos of the controller and of the boiler itself. For the sake of this photo I’ve switched the heating on the controller to “on” but I’ve had it off for the last week because it makes no difference. When on it doesn’t actually control the radiator output to get the current temperature to the target temperature.
On the boiler, the radiator symbol is currently blinking every couple of seconds which indicates that it’s active and working as expected (according to the manual) which does make sense. That works as expected in line with whether the radiators are on or off, but doesn’t correlate with the thermostat settings. That’s the bit at the end of Airhead’s post which is throwing me off completely - surely if I have the heating turned off at the thermostat the radiators shouldn’t do anything regardless of whether they’re individually open or not?
The set up in the old place was about 20 years old and far easier!

Guys, I have an unbelievably embarrassing question which no amount of googling can help.
I moved into a place about 6 weeks ago, it has a pretty new Worcester boiler and thermostat. All seems in good working order, the hot water and radiators all work.
However the thermostat doesn’t actually do anything. At my old place I’d just leave the radiators open, have the temperature set on the thermostat, and the radiators would heat/you’d hear the boiler flicking on and off to keep it at that temperature. But here the temperature I set on the thermostat doesn’t affect the radiators in any way - it doesn’t matter whether I have the thermostat off or set to 25°, or doesn’t control the radiator output in any way.
The only thing which affects it is controlling the individual radiators. So I have the radiators on now and it’s fine, but when I go out/go to bed I turn them off, but then obviously it’s freezing later and when I come home/get up in the morning I have to run around and turn them all on again.
I’ve read the boiler/thermostat instructions and they’re all very standard, it just doesn’t correlate to what I’m actually finding. Does anyone have any ideas or references I can check? I don’t need to do anything complicated, just want to be able to set the thermostat to keep the main rooms at a nice temp throughout.

& @aggi, thanks guys, will give these a go!

Does anyone have recommendations for cheap Alexa-compatible smart plugs? I don’t need anything groundbreaking, just something I can use to flick the kettle on while I’m in the other room, turn a lamp on before I go upstairs, etc.
I have a couple of the Amazon own brand ones which I got when they were on offer. They’re perfect but I don’t really want to pay £25. I’ve flicked through so many of the cheaper ones but don’t want to have to mess about setting up another app or whatever.

I’ve been looking into BOXT lately, any reason for this?
Starlight Cafe in Stepney for me.
I would frequent on a Saturday morning after a big night - West Ham tattoos all round, denizens who smoked a pack a day and had been going there all their lives, Daily Star or whatever shite paper on the table. I went back there after having been away for almost a year and was greeted with “bloody hell, I thought you was dead”, which you simply do not get in 99% of London restaurants.
£5 odd for breakfast number 2 which cured any hangover and was often brought to the table with “done you extra bacon, you look like you need it”.
