If it's cold again tomorrow, I'm off down the town - M & Co. have a huge fan heater just inside the entrance doors - if you stand under it for 10 minutes, it keeps you lovely and warm. Mind you, it does mean standing amongst the ladies underthings for 10 minutes, and you do get some odd looks

Well they do say that ladies tights are good for keeping things warm

We're not that sophisticated up here Jeff - by "central heating" I mean a fire in the middle of the room

I tend to find that the hairs on my legs ladder the tights as I put them on - and then the heat escapes thru' the ladders

That was the temperature in my bedroom on a number of occasions last winter and regularly in my bathroom and toilet. You don't know what 'cold' is you lot!

Thankfully it's quite tropical in my living room at the moment - 12c.

..... switched the central heating back on for the first time since the end of March

At least you have central heating! We have no gas, and whoever owned the house in the past removed the storage radiators, all we have is a oil filled heater for downstairs and a halogen radiator for the bedroom!
