"During periods of very cold weather, we occasionally receive enquiries from customers whose boilers do not appear to be working" - Worcester-Bosch Group (yet again) on why their heating systems never seem to work during a, er, cold snap.

Ryder in a storm
Ping! An email arrives from some PR company called EdenCancan (no, me neither) trying to jump on the Ryder Cup bandwagon and plug one of its clients.
"We have a weather expert able to comment/predict on the weather," it begins as play in Wales is interrupted by torrential rain. "Dr Liz Bentley is one of the world’s leading weather experts. Former Chief Instructor of Forecasting at the Met Office College, she is the ultimate weather woman and climate change forecaster. Liz was BBC Weather Centre Manager before taking up the post of Head of Communications at the Royal Meteorological Society, when she founded the public membership organisation theWeather Club, in 2010, to promote an appreciation and understanding of the weather to people from all walks of life."
All very impressive. Just one question. If she's so good, why wasn't the plug sent yesterday?

Brass Monkey Britain - part 1,862
As the country continues to freeze, what news of Worcester - the Bosch Group-owned maker of household boilers which are supposed to be keeping Britons toasty during the cold snap?
"We are experiencing a high volume of calls", admits the company's automated voicemail, before the company admits that cold weather often causes its boilers to pack up as "it’s possible that your boiler’s condense trap/discharge pipe has frozen".
So that's boilers that don't work in the cold. Solid work.
