And the valve to the hot water pipe into the kitchen cannot be turned off. It's knackered.
What type of heating system do you have? - gch?
You should get that valve replaced. You'll need it when least convenient I expect.

A red gate valve? They are known for it.

Gate valves have always been rubbish. Change it for a ball valve.

Re: Anyone thought about emigrating elsewhere?

We're only talking of the hot water pipe into the kitchen, fed from the water tank. Heating is by storage rads. No gas.

Thoses 50k will have been born in the uk with at least one Irish parent and have a uk passport

I advised my daughter to get an Irish passport as well as a UK one 20 odd years ago as her mother was Irish.

...Not Spain....With a GFC...which could take place at any time, and probably without any warning, Spain will be among the first of the European nations, closely following Italy, to go down. In fact, avoid Europe altogether. In stead...think...CANADA....

Re: Anyone thought about emigrating elsewhere?

Well it was our intention to buy a camper van after we sell the house and spend at least 6 months of the year travelling and just trekking about all over the place.

It wont happen now but it was a nice dream.

I intended to retire to Tuscany to keep Tony and Cherie company, not going to happen now.

Re: Anyone thought about emigrating elsewhere?

We were due to emigrate to New Zealand many years ago, but, unfortunately, it all fell through. Other than that, Italy would be my choice. The history, culture, people, food, wine etc are excellent.

Re: Anyone thought about emigrating elsewhere?

My husbands family were all due to emigrate to New Zealand when he was small but his mother backed out at the last minute. They had their tickets and everything. His Dad was furious as his best mate and family were going at the same time.

His Dad regretted it until the day he died (and he was only 62) and every time he and his wife had a row this would be dragged up and some furious rows resulted.

His mate and family settled down there and did really well and used to send photos of their new life but my FIL would never go and visit because he was sad at what he had missed out on.
