Who isn't confused ?

[QUOTE=alkristensen]
Clouds open and the sunlight hits the ground in Briton and "the uk is seen in a different light"? Sort of an anti-oxymoron init?
As for "watered down pom", you can call me what you wish. I don't claim to be a Pom - watered or not.

From reading some threads on the forum I thought that roof insulation, cavity wall, decent heating systems were simply not available in Australia - or so expensive as to be so.
It would certainly have been a lot more helpful if somebody had hijacked one of the threads on cold winters to actually give some practical advice on how to beat the cold.

In www.google.com.uk use 'heating site:.au' to make search specific to Aus.
