“Raz som si v meste prenajala izbu v budove postavenej v medzivojnovom období, kde staré parné radiátory duneli ako obrovské bubny zakaždým, keď sa ochladilo. V dome Sedgeovcov sú obrie rebrové radiátory z 19. storočia a hoci v lete sa nevyužívajú, je možné, že vypúšťajú nadbytočný vzduch.”

I once rented a room in a townhouse in an interwar period building where the old steam radiators rumbled like giant drums every time it got cold. The Sedges' house has giant 19th-century finned radiators, and although they're not used in the summer, they may be letting out excess air.
