He he I'm the same David! Bedrpoom window is never shut and all
radiators in the bedroom are permanently off, couldn't sleep
otherwise. Occasionally close the window if it is windy to stop the
doors rattling away or snow blowing in.

Oh dear, another meeting of the 'who can keep their house the
coldest during winter' brigade......

Quite. I actually sleep out in the garden in winter. Houses are
just so *soppy*.

Hold on to your prepositions, but a warm bedroom makes a bed a
much easier thing to get out of into.

There is more than just a little but of 'The Four Yorkshiremen' about
all this, people vying with one another to see who is the toughest.

I sleeep with my window open all winter and the snow builds up on
my windowsill!

Window? You're lucky, I just have a hole in the wall and I use a
snowdrift as a pillow!

Seriously though, you never get anybody coming on here in early
September saying they had to knock the heating on for a couple of
hours because it was a bit parky when they got up, no it's all a
macho competition as to who can survive the longest without central
heating.....

Col, it's not about a competition it's about comfort. I and my wife are
perfectly comfortable with a bedroom below 10C at night and the fresh air we
need too. I guess we talk about cooling rather than warming because we live
in a warm centrally heated country by and large, where you get blasted with
hot air in the chain stores in winter, the workplace is kept at 21-23C
minimum to meet somebody else's idea of comfort, hotels are dreadfully hot
normally. If one is too cold you can always put on another layer, what if
you are too warm - go naked?

Snowdrift? Luxury. When I was a lad we had frozen slush .... LOL
