Jambof3tornado Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 So what temp is everyone comfortable with? Living room is 17.5°C as we've been out the last few hours. Too late to bother putting heating on at 8pm, but we both seem comfortable at 19°C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it. The heat, the glow and just the cosiness of it. Shame they are now effectively banned. When I was a mature student my flat in Gorgie had no heating bar a useless gas fire in the lounge and those draughty sash and case windows with the ice on the inside. I'd regularly head round to the Tynie Arms on a cold night and nurse a 2 or 4 pints through the evening perched by the coal fire. Couldnae beat it. 17 minutes ago, Jeff said: Definitely a jumper and joggies night tonight with that breeze Just off the blower to the Mrs and the heating is going on round at McClaymore Heights this evening. Says it's blowing a gale. A balmy 22 degrees outside where I am, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes coal fires anywhere are the biz. Even more of a bonus in a pub. When I was up in Aviemore last winter we went to a pub which had a great woodburner fire. I almost ran to get the nearest seat near to it ! Oh i recall those gas fires in Gorgie as we had one in my first house in Dalry. Def heated the living room but the rest of the house was baltic.

Shanks said no Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Put it on last night as our granddaughter was staying. Back off today until October at least.

Section Q Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Came back from a winter holiday abroad a few years ago and the central heating had been off for a fortnight. Took about three days to get the house back to a liveable temperature. I think if we ration the heating this winter then the house will likely be impossible to warm up. Happy days ahead.....

Refuse to put heating on as going out in a few hours, dog cuddled in beside me,not sure who is warming who,heating was on for 15 mins this morning to take the chill off the place. I reckon if we're getting £60 a month for 6 months as long as I dont use more gas than that its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Experienced both. Never again. if I'm feeling cold the heating will be going on. Had it on for an hour last night. I honestly feel for those who are not able to have that choice. What a country.
