I found that if I disconnected the A/C thermostat in the accommodation 
and left it in situ on the bulkhead while wiring another unit and 
placing it in the overhead the number of complaints I received re the 
accommodation temperature faded away to zero while the knob twiddlers

number of vessels don't know how the people who followed me got on if 
the thermostat ever broke down
