The other British Gas rip off is telling you every year that the parts for older boilers are hard to get hold of and it might be difficult to repair in the future.
But they've been telling me that for 5 years and still get parts on the same day!

Most stuff is made abroad including alot of out door kit. it only has to be finished in England to get the "Made in England" label
Of course you are all missing the obviuos here.... Get a wood burner! My gas bills are less than they were 2 years ago, we had 2 gas fires which havent been on since and the central heating only goes on low when the welder is needed for the brass monkeys...!
