Stop being lazy
We bought our house more than 2 years ago. As soon as I moved in, I noticed the heated towel rail in the bathroom was always on, and was pretty much too hot to even touch.

I got round to sorting it out 2 weeks ago. It's on a timer that was hidden round the back of the boiler. It was set to switch off for about 10 minutes a day. Now it's on for 30 mins twice a day.

Me & my reticulation.
To a word.

We had a heated towel rail once
I used to dry socks on it. It's what you did back then, you just got on with it.

Yeah, but
that was in the war. Things have moved on.

Yes, but I think you get the point.
What I said was 'stop being lazy', not 'check your towel rail'.
