Snow on the Aga

The Agas are going out all over England

So reported Richard Morrison in yesterday’s Times2

The reason is supposed to be that they are now fuelled by Russian oil, which is grungier than the stuff which used to come from some other country

Additives are available which will stop the grunge from gumming up the works, but owners usually find this out only after expensive repairs

I do hope the additives do not contain lead, which used to be used to solve the same kind of problem in car engines

But hey! Russia was one of the few countries in the world which never went down that road
