I'm still trying to work out if not having the appropriate training will get me out of ironing, hoovering, washing dishes etc.

I think your dress sense is wonderful Angie and just think. It will have given the oil man something to laugh and talk about all day. You're spreading happiness.

I would hate to think what he thought, oh well when you get to a certain age who cares. Like I always say I am at my happiest when I am in my garden. It's my own little world.
I have never been into fashion...good job I will need to save money for my next oil tank fill.

Anthony I didn't  think you would still be doing all those chores, thought you would be lying on a deck somewhere soaking up the sun with a cool drink. Nice that you are still with us.

So did you get it explained to you how he could put 1600 litres into a 1500 litre tank?  Sounds like you've just been overcharged in a big way.  Did you bargain him down?

Hi Paul
You can't bargain with these companies. I try and shop around to get a good price but they always have a answer, usually saying oil prices have just gone up. Yes I did get a expiation. He said that the tank is a 1500 litre tank but you can get more if you fill it to the top, now does that make sense to you. My husband is going to check with the supplier of the tank tomorrow. I must say I have never got that amount into my tank before. The vehicles do have a meter on them showing how much fuel goes in.

And that meter can be fiddled with by the sound of it.  I'd be very surprised if you could fit an extra 100 litre into a 1500 litre tank that wasn't even empty to start with.

[TC]

The tanks are always made larger to leave room for expansion of the fuel.  They really should not be filled to the brim in case a rise in temperature caused it to overlow.

[angie]

Hi Tom that's exactly right. My husband contacted the suppliers of the tank today ( after me nagging him for a wee while ) and they said yes the tank could take that amount if it was empty. I suppose it must have been. Still had heating tho.
They said it's not advisable to overfill. So it's nice to have a answer.

I joined the Hardy Orchid Society - after cancelling many other society subscriptions - and got an invitation to join their email group. I sent an email. It didnt go through so I sent it again. An email came through from admin who had stopped the email because I posted a link to my web site.

S/he was worried I would be robbed.

Just think how many photos are posted on this web site every day. Do we assume we will be robbed? No.

The THINGS    If anyone knows for sure what they are ,please let me know 

These are bryozoans Emma. Harmless filter feeding colonial animals that signify a healthy environment. I wouldn't worry about them The worst they can do is eat the suspended algae in the water.

[Maggi Young]

Poor Algie, no-one told me he'd been suspended in the water..... is there no hope for the lad?

[Anthony Darby]

At least the only bears he'll meet will be tardigrades!

[fermi de Sousa]

It's the tardy ones you have to watch out for!
 
Nice to have you back, Anthony.
cheers
fermi

[Anthony Darby]

Yes Fermi, I've been a bit tardy myself.

Thank you ever so much  i knew some one would know what they are. What a fount of knowledage this forum is  :-.  After the hydras got some of  my fish fry ,i was worried they might be harmful as they looked a bit simmilar. The bryozoans now have their own bowl to live  in.
