Well my washine machine can accept both hot and cold water. If hot's available it'll presumably use enough of each to get to the thermostat temp. If there's no hot, it heats the cold with an electric element. Pretty standard practice in the UK, as is having combined washer dryers. > I've had both in this house, and the difference in monthly costs are > humungeous for a family of 6.

It's a good paying job that will do you well in life. Some of the worlds greatest leaders cared only about fine points and nothing about major issues. To me, whether they were, or would have been, doesn't matter. If they were making good maoney the would not have been for sale. As usual, you want to focus on one leaf on one tree and ignore the forest. Just so you can say "But technically I won!"
