    10. Making a difference “First time in 20 years that the house has been warm throughout” “This was my first winter with central heating and the difference it has made to the quality of my life is amazing. My house is snug from top to bottom and I will no longer dread those log winters trying to keep warm hanging over an electric fire. I could never have been able to afford this myself”

    11. “Thank you for making us cosy and warm Able to weather the very worst storm With hot water all day, instead of till noon Still hot in the evening, it is such a boon Each room we can now turn heat up or down No more do we shiver and sigh with a frown The workmen were excellent at fixing the “rads” They were all together a great bunch of lads Thank you again and as January draws near We wish all in your office, a Happy new Year!”
