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.

Jon,

I was contemplating buying a small unit last month when I remember seeing
the GFS run and thinking "This high is gonna be around for a while" but
couldn't justify the cost against the fact that I'd only use it for a
fortnight every year. Saying that, I think I'll buy one in the January sales
when they will be at their lowest prices.

Well depending on conditions I use mine from roughly Spring through to
Autumn. Like Dave (Ludlow) mentioned it's in what is effectively a computer
room. The combined effects of the PC, monitor and a TV generate enough heat
to often have the radiator set very low in winter. Following recent events
and the forecast for next summer ;-) I'm now seriously thinking about a 2nd
unit for elsewhere in the house.

Incidentally I was bemused to read that Currys sold 100 electric blankets
during a 3 day period earlier in the month
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3127669.stm . Presumably they're discounted
during the summer ?!
