I have a village house with 4 large bedrooms and 4 largish other rooms, 11 radiators (not all turned on) and used at least 800 litres in a year, in the winter period only going across for weekends - on average, every 2nd weekend (and not at all in one 5 week period). This oil was only used for central heating.            

I am looking to get sky boxes in both London and france and take the card between the places (and boxes), My main interest is getting the subscriber sports channels (with the card in both locations.). Is this possible? if the card is tied to the box is it possible to get cloned boxes (ie same electronic id)?    

I have original red floor tiles in my kitchen in Gers (possibly terracotta) on about 30% the surface has been worn . Does any one know of a way or product to restor them? is painting an option? if so what product would  be needed? thanks.      

I also did it through volvo uk l (2 months ago), cost £90 - £95, (for memory it took about a week)

Light fittings are marked with max wattage figures e.g. max 60W. The newer hi-tech types of light bulb are shown as say 23Watts but also as equilivant to 100W. Can say a 23 watt bulb (shown as equivilant to 100w) be used on a fitting showing max 60W
