Heating On? Yes or No?

When i saw the thread title i started twitching and irritated, if i had my way it would never go on, i can't stand central heating, and not because i'm an advocate of Peter hitchens theory that the introduction of central heating in houses contributed towards the breakdown of the family unit (if anyone can take a guess to what he means, then you win a lollipop.

I live with two females who are eternally cold, i put a log burner in two of the rooms downstairs so that i could isolate them both and it meant that i could get dead wood from the wooded areas around my area. End of February is summer in my house, so the heating goes off, back on end of November, for 1 hour a day. Got to think of the planet (that's what i tell my wife)

It's because women don't understand a thermostat. Which is why I turn mine off.

Mrs H walks around barefoot with a thin top on - "is the heating on? I'm freezing!" - stat reads 19 degrees!

in fairness, 19 degrees is t shirt and shorts weather.

19 degrees... Baltic... ? That is sun cream weather up here. Still lighting the fire every night (That isn't a euphemism)
