Very OT, but it leads to the question...do any of the Royal Family use them? I mean, can you imagine using one thats got the Royal Crest and "By appointment to her Majesty" on it :D

He's got a temp gauge and the like but I won't bother with that - I just need to know when the water is hot on the roof. And on the right days, and there will be a fair few - it won't be long.

Think problem is that the amount you heat may be a drop in the ocean as they say. May need to use larger amounts to make any difference. Did see a thing on internet where they made a South facing box and just put double glazing on one side like a huge aquarium.
