A man came in and asked the farmer, “Hey, why are you sitting here on this beautiful day, getting drunk?” The farmer shook his head and replied, “Some things you just can’t explain.” “So what happened that’s so horrible?” the man asked as he sat down next to the farmer. “Well,” the farmer said, “today I was sitting by my cow, milking her. Just as I got the bucket full, she lifted her left leg and kicked over the bucket.” “Okay,” said the man, “but that’s not so bad.” “Some things you just can’t explain,” the farmer replied. “So what happened then?” the man asked. The farmer said, “I took her left leg and tied it to the post on the left.” “And then?” “Well, I sat back down and continued to milk her. Just as I got the bucket full, she took her right leg and kicked over the bucket.” The man laughed and said, “Again?” The farmer replied, “Some things you just can’t explain.” “So, what did you do then?” the man asked. “I took her right leg this time and tied it to the post on the right.” “And then?” “Well, I sat back down and began milking her again. Just as I got the bucket full, the stupid cow knocked over the bucket with her tail.” “Hmmm,” the man said and nodded his head. “Some things you just can’t explain,” the farmer said. “So, what did you do?” the man asked. “Well,” the farmer said, “I didn’t have any more rope, so I took off my belt and tied her tail to the rafter. In that moment, my pants fell down and my wife walked in… Some things you just can’t explain.”

Wildsurfer wrote: » Neither. A big Calor gas tank:) 1000L tank that remains property of Calor and has a gauge that can be monitored by Gas company remotely so they just top up when 75% is used. Lorry just showed up one day to top it up.
yewtree wrote: » Thanks for the info Has your system a cylinder for storing/heating the hot water or is does it operator like a combi boiler in a house? Also do you mind me asking a figure on installation? you can DM if you want I got a quote and from calor approved guy and it was over twice the price of a 300l electric heater
