Well now I know they have gas fires in Australia (do they have electricity now too? ), do they have need for UK gas service engineers? Does this occupation fall under their required occupation list?

What are Aussie requirements on servicing of gas appliances etc? Is it similar to the UK?

My bloody washing wouldnt dry outside so I chucked it all in the tumble drier which as you know they throw out alot of heat.

Jesus Christ after an hour with the drier on, my house is now like a furnace.

Perhaps that shall come in handy on the cold winter evenings.

We use the oil filled radiators to heat our rooms. We have 2 of them, and move them around to suit what we're doing. They are great! Do a fantastic job of heating, and they are portable and you can chuck them in the garage for the 11 months of the year that you don't use them.

I believe Aldi had them on sale for $59 last week... maybe they have some left?

Cheaper than a heater too.
