I know it’s tempting. That radiator is sitting there, cold and smug, and a good, hard thump seems like a natural reaction. But kicking a UK radiator is how you summon a leak, a loud bang, and a visit from a plumber who charges £150 just to look at it.
Instead, pretend you are a very calm, very sophisticated person who has never once thought about hitting inanimate objects. Take a deep breath. You can do this. The radiator is not your enemy; it’s just deeply, deeply confused about how to be a radiator.
