--- Quote ---Heat pumps won’t work in old homes, warns Bosch
Heat pumps will not work for older UK homes which lack the necessary space and insulation, the UK boss of one of the largest makers of the devices has warned.
Heat pumps are a great solution for heating new homes with plenty of lagging and room to accommodate the larger system, said Vonjy Rajakoba, managing director of Bosch UK.
But much of the UK's Victorian housing stock is unsuitable for installing them and hydrogen-burning boilers are the future for those homes as the gas becomes cheaper to produce.

Data from more than 60,000 Britons suggests plant-rich diet may help regardless of person’s genetic risk
A Mediterranean diet of nuts, seafood, whole grains and vegetables could lower the risk of dementia by almost a quarter, according to promising early research that could pave the way for new preventive treatments.
The data suggests eating lots of plant-based foods may have a “protective effect” against dementia, regardless of a person’s genetic risk, which the researchers said could form the basis for future public health strategies if further research confirms their findings.
