Ours is an enclosed wood fire, Mike. No smoke in the house - it sucks air in and it all goes out the chimney. Like this...  |

Ours too. We've stopped using ours
The article I read said none of them were good enough and wood particles on the outside are a health hazard
Doesn't seem to be public knowledge
Will go looking for the original research

I'm, getting a bit worried about the caravan on my drive this morning.  I mean... It wasn't there when I went to bed last night.  |

Power was out here for 24 hours as a large tree fell on the lines that cross the moor on the other side of the river (I'm not far from Martin). The wood burner kept the house warm enough and candles plus a couple of LED work lights allowed me to to read. I'd some preparation on one fence and some trees they day before and so there was minimal damage although one fence post on the other side broke and I will to repair / replace it.
A few years back, in Potsdam, some friends woke up after a storm to find a large pub umbrella lying on the lawn. They had no idea where it had come from and so used it themselves for about 3 years. Then one night, during another storm, it moved on and I like to think that is now living in a new garden somewhere!

All is fine, thanks. Power back and I have resumed the work on the house that I was in the middle of.
I hope you remain unaffected by the floods.

Sorry to hear that, Pete. Are you with SSE, you should be able to find the cause on their active map?

The river is a couple of miles away so my house will be unaffected. Not all will be. A few years a go at Christmas the bridge at our local town was washed away. It's flooded there again but the bridge is intact thankfully. |

This morning since 07:00. Reports of at least one diverted to Glasgow. I found it now. Passengers vomiting in the aisles, kids asking their parents if they are going to die, strangers holding hands and praying. Sounds like a bloody nightmare. I don't think I would be going anywhere near a plane ever again if that had happened to me. |
