MM made a very good point so I have moved my remarks to here.
From your Pesky Mod!

Hi Ian,
Very sorry to read you have been under the weather and in hospital. The good news is - if you can call any illness good - they have found what was wrong with you.
Now take things easy and no mad rushing about, you have had a good pick me up tonight, with your footy team winning for a change

Good point Andy, but, OFRs do cost more to run. I removed many from all electric homes when Gas became available for Combi Boilers.
I still think Alan's idea is best of all, wear more layers of clothes!!

Having repaired more heaters than I care to remember Robin, I will agree the solid element fan is more robust but not as strong with heat as a spiral element.
You pays your money and takes your choice. The greenhouse one -which is a solid element, I have installed in many Greenhouses and wooden garden Sheds. It has proved cheap to run and very reliable.

If purchasing a Fan Heater, make sure its one with a built in thermostat. They have a high setting but 1000 watt or less should be more than ample. A bit like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lloytron-F2003WH-British-Standard-Approved/dp/B000WIYILW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449674253&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+heate
Also Dimplex do a Greenhouse low wattage Heater with thermostat but being Dimplex it is dearer. http://www.dimplex.co.uk/products/domestic_heating/miscellaneous_heating/mph/index.htm

Hope this helps.

I don't know JM if you knew a Peter Clarke, fleet manager at Porter & Haylett in the early 70's he moved on to Jack Powels International in the late 70's.
He was quite a big bloke, but a very light Narfolk accent, soooo with my broad Ayrshire and his twang it was a very funny take over of my first hire on the Broads. It is still something I have looked forward to hearing on every holiday on the Broads. Its very much part of East Anglia is that Mumbled Twang!
What???...Pardon????you What??? Oh Pardon me. My first ever conversation in Norwich Market at 7am! They hadn't a clue what I was saying, and vice versa! The Norfolk twang is light voiced,and fades away to nil, or did sound that way, then.
It has never stopped me coming doon though!

I deleted my last post as looking again, its Gleaming Light or the 8berth Dancing Light, I think from Herbert Woods, we had Gleaming two years ago in May.

Good heavens JM, these modern kids show no fears at all, he will have BA going through PH in reverse before you can say Doncaster Rovers!
Congratualtions to Grampa Griff and Gt Grampa Admiral. One for the Royal Navy the other for the RAF!!!
