Gas fired central heating like most houses in Britain. After the late summer today is the first time we've had it on.
Let's go the other way. How do you keep cool in summer, or for Storm, in the hot season?

Except for my bedroom it's quite bearable in my old house. When I slept in that room I kept the door open to a hall and get some cold air. The best thing is that I can live without air conditioning but I admit I don't wear too much clothes in the house ::p
Same Q
I have several fans, although they just move the air around rather than cool it. Otherwise its just a case of getting all the windows open.
Do you/would you enjoy an traditional open fire for the cold winter nights?
No. I'm scared by fires since my house burnt when I was very young.
When do you start to heat your home?
This 'winter' I hardly turned the heater on at all, we had maybe three days where it was cold enough to light a fire, but otherwise, we had a warm (around 15 centigrade) winter. The down side of this is that most of the flu and cold bugs that die off in the cold stayed active and everyone is less well this spring that is normal.
Does cold weather make you feel alive, or does it depress you (personally I love it.... but I am a bit odd :))?
I love the cold winter weather, I love snow, but wish we had a bit more of it in the UK. A few years ago we had 3 or 4 winters in a row with quite a bit of snow, but last year it was warm.
Gadjo doesn't like the cold and snow though as she tells me I am mad.
Do you follow Tennis?
To be honest Steve tennis is one of the only sports I don't watch, for some reason it bores me to tears (but as I said I am a bit odd:)).
Here is a deep philosophical question.
Imagine there is a train speeding towards a broken bridge. It has 100 people on board and they will all tragically be killed when the train plunges off the end of the track. You can save them all, but the only way of doing so is to push a complete stranger into the path of the train.
What would you do?
Nah...Only when Simona Halep plays a big tournament.
But where are the days of my childhood when I didn't go to bed before listening the results of the most obscure tournament and had copybooks with all the results? Nobody could move me from TV in the days of Davis Cup.....
Are you interested in politics?
:s late again
To answer anfield's q:
I'll call anfield who's odd enough to find the right solution.
Are you interested in politics?
Not telling, now that you have called me odd!!
Nah..... just kidding :)
Not really interested in politics on a national level, but world politics is a different matter.
Thinking about world affairs, especially economics. My dads former boss came up with the idea that every country should cancel their debts to every other country, and the whole world should start with a zero bank balance. i.e. no country owes any other country anything.
Would this work, considering that almost every nation is in debt to every other nation?
