dont_do_it_doug. Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've yet to wear a coat with any regularity. Only for the walk to the bus stop in the morning. Yep, still in a t-shirt. People look at me as though I've lost the plot but **** them, I'm northern and I'm 'ard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmike Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We keep the temp at 20c on the thermostat (yes the boiler kicks in a lot), however I do have children to keep warm...youngest being 3 (who will kick the blanket of herself). But personally, in the bedroom I will not have the heating on and window open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 try 17 / 18C and a jumper, warm enough and you'll single handedly save the world lots of people in UK moan about fuel bill hikes and wander around the house in a tee shirt in december Or, move to my office in Redditch where apparently the right thing to do is to crank up the air con and open the windows.

b6bloke Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well if you were at work the workplace welfare Regs state 16°C, or 13°C if much of the work is physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I am one of those people who wander around my house in a t-shirt and shorts most evenings, frankly I hate wearing jeans so this is the only way to go. Usually stick the thermostat on around 21C, but my house is fairly new, so the insulation is good enough to keep the boiler activity down to a reasonable level.

brommy Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well if you were at work the workplace welfare Regs state 16°C, or 13°C if much of the work is physical. Those are recommended minimums and not necessarily desired temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I am one of those people who wander around my house in a t-shirt and shorts most evenings, frankly I hate wearing jeans so this is the only way to go. Usually stick the thermostat on around 21C, but my house is fairly new, so the insulation is good enough to keep the boiler activity down to a reasonable level. Our heating is still off.

Shillzz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Would love a woodburning stove, my folks have one in their house, and if anything, it get's too hot. But they are simply magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It does get a little too warm but then the wife just removes layers as appropriate so every cloud and all that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 You are actually a penguin. Stop using the internet and go catch some fish. I **** hate Penguins, I got bit by one once whilst trying to stroke one on the head and I've never forgiven them for it Didn't Spiderman get bitten by a spider? That's really tickled me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
