It will be,there's a probe that reads the temp inside the box,sends the info to the meter which automatically either switches the heater on or off accordingly...my son would explain it clearer but that's the basics of it anyway lol

yes mate i read it wrong you get thermostats that have a probe

I've never owned a terrier. Too scrappy and noisy for me. High maintenance

My last b*****d of a terrier cost me a 1200 euro bill,he escaped through the roof after a storm and mangled a neighbours dog,3 operations later and I had to cover it all which is to be expected,...since he was mine lol...

I'm 74 and stats reckon I've got another 12 years to go  before popping my clogs. I found after 60 odd you just accept your aches and pains. They are inevitable.

I never dreamed when I was young that I would live this long. My dad and his brothers were all dead in their early 60s. So I will take a few aches and pains for an extra couple of decades..fingers crossed.

I know a fella who's mid 70s goes foxing twice a week beating twice a week n stalking once a week his mam died in her 50s n dad not long after n as he keeps reminding me he's still shagging a few times a week to so don't worry about statistics juke everyone's different.

I remember briefly talking to a Sherpa in nepal once carrying a basket of rice and other supplies up a mountain pass on his back I forget the name of them now, his face looked like a road map I asked him I'd I could feel the weight of it on my back n boy waw that thing heavy, do you mind if I ask your age I asked and in broken English his reply was, the problem with your culture is numbers how much do I have or how much don't I have or am I to old to do this etc.

We if we have money to eat we are happy, we don't know our age we have no birth certificates but if we can do we do and we are happy we live for today.

I'm pretty much the same but not shagging  couple of times a week. Couple of times a day.

I have a pic on a hard drive in the UK,an old Gurkha striding up a steep incline,powering behind him carrying what looked like a 25kg sack of rice was his younger wife.
