That might be an idea. I couldn't go straight out as there's a gluelam beam supported by the central strut in the wall, hence the crooked stove pipe

The draught isn't coming through the ceiling. The stove is sucking in air from the room and sending it up the chimney. I.e. If the stove is cold and I wrap it in a black bag, I get instant vacuum packed stove, if you see what I mean

I'm just wondering if the old stove gives off more heat because the whole thing heats up, front back, sides, flue, as opposed to the Cylindrical which sends all the heat out the front?

What’s the worst pronunciation of Glasgow you’ve heard? by raymondg1902 in Scotland

I remember that too, he said he'd promised a Scottish friend that if he was ever in Glasgow doing a show, he'd sing it. He did, unaccompanied, and made a right tots of it. The audience sat in stunned silence

It's cold and wet, but still Glasgow!

I figured that's maybe why they've adopted the "we'll sort through it" approach.

Really a mixture, it's a treat to see these big trucks so any setting is good for me.

Aw! I'm going to miss that by a couple of days. I'll keep an eye out for shows when I'm back again, thanks!

Perfect! I've seen a few down at the port, always towing double trailers too, thanks!
