Re: Heating temperature:do you argue about it (split from old thread)
No heating on here yet either ... I was also brought up tracing the icy patterns on the bedroom windows, we has coats thrown on top of us in bed in winter. Our loo was at the bottom of the garden and we didn't have an inside loo until I was in my teens. Nor TV. When I first went into someone's home with central heating on I remember feeling very overpowered by it and was glad to get back out into the fresh air.Re: Heating temperature:do you argue about it (split from old thread)
Yep I also remember the ice on the inside of the windows and the coats added to the bed. Grabbing clothes and running downstairs to dress in front of the fireRe: Heating temperature:do you argue about it (split from old thread)
We did put the heating on at home for about an hour in September because it got very cold. But since then we have not put it on and don't intend to unless it gets very very cold.Re: Heating temperature:do you argue about it (split from old thread)
I too grew up with ice on the inside of the windows,a large army coat on the bed,and an outside loo,so now when it's cold the heating goes on/up...no more chittering teeth for Me thanks,... when it's cold....I'm warm.Re: Heating temperature:do you argue about it (split from old thread)
I only use the radiator in the sitting room, one hour in the mornings and two and a half hours in the evening. 18 degrees. No heat in the bedroom ever, and only a towel rail in the bathroom - showers are very quick in winter. There is a coal effect electric fire in the sitting room which I have never used, just as I have never used the bathroom underfloor heating - not even tried it to see if it works and I have been here five years. Got to keep an eye on the budget and I believe it is expensive to run?
