One thing I have been amazed to learn in this newsgroup this week, is that
there are houses in the UK with air conditioning having only seen it in
the
Middle East many years ago (I have it in the car, and would certainly
never
get one without, as I use it for 8000 work miles a year)

I bought a portable unit a few years ago to combat the PC and TV. It
struggled a bit on the hottest days but did make a worthwhile difference to
the room temperature and perhaps more significantly the humidity. Now very
noticeable how much less water is being condensed out compared to last week.

Well worth it IMHO if you don't like the heat, which I've a feeling you
don't Trevor !

Cheers,
Jon.
