This is not about central heating.
I don't have it, and I don't want it.

Taking the wife to hospital today for her Warfrin clinic I was
supprised to see just how much snow there was on the hills/mountains
around us, just a few of miles inland from Swansea Bay.
We are free of the stuff though it's cold, but above freezing.
Wd did have small grains falling almost all day yesterday, but they
were so few you could almost count them and they melted as they hit
the Mud.

Little flurry of snow here in Leics, but if you'd have blinked you'd have
missed it. We're having -2 ish overnight frosts atm and will all week,
apparently.
I'm interested that you have no central heating - I haven't and I don't
want it either.
How do you heat your house? I have a woodburner in the lounge & a gas
fire in the kitchen. 'Tis a bit nippy upstairs during the winter, it was
3C on my landing when I got up this morning :-)
I've never lived in a house with central heating and when I was staying
for several weeks with relatives recently who have, I nearly boiled; it
was most unpleasant - I was literally wringing with sweat all the time.


For some years, I rented a flat in Greenich. The bed had 2 legs and 2
beer crates. There was a gas fire in the front room....thats it! All the
windows had to be scraped of ice in the morning. You know.....I loved
living there.

You did not die of cold and we never did with no central heating/
