Compared to the usual weather.  I love SW France. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
megalithic   10 #14 Posted August 18, 2014 I camped out Fri/Sat nights, was too warm in just my shorts and T-shirt. In my sleeping bag, in my tent, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tinfoilhat   11 #15 Posted August 18, 2014 It's 23oC in my flat so no I'm not putting my central heating on. It's August FFS. Put a jumper on. Next you'll be wondering why your gas/elec bill is so high  Yeah but it's crappy weather though and has been for a week or so now or how like to describe it "my holiday". Well annoyed.

tzijlstra   11 #18 Posted August 19, 2014 It's up to you really, isn't it? Who cares. If you can afford it, afford it!  (btw if you have a combi-boiler, no need to put the heating on for an hour, in the end it uses the same system as the hot water! Just saying ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
monkey104 Â Â 10 #19 Posted August 19, 2014 Just the thought of lining the gas companies pockets make me desist from putting on the heating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
aliceBB Â Â 10 #20 Posted August 19, 2014 Exactly. When I am in Yorkshire, we don't even have gas (middle of nowhere), just oil, which is even more expensive than gas. So we have two wood and coal burning stoves and I get a lot of free wood from various places, including skips. (For some reasons nobody seems to mind decorators hanging round skips so I don't get carted off as a little old crazy lady).

barleycorn   10 #21 Posted August 19, 2014 It's 23oC in my flat so no I'm not putting my central heating on. It's August FFS. Put a jumper on. Next you'll be wondering why your gas/elec bill is so high Temperature dropped to 14ºC in my sons room last night and we're already getting condensation forming in rivers on our bedroom walls overnight. We do though live in a 200 year old house with zero insulation and no ventilation. We don't usually have a problem with condensation (and subsequently mould, lots and lots of lovely mould everywhere) until well into Oct/Nov. To get it in August is a pain. Consequently our heating is now on a few hours a night.  jb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
