Seeing as you asked....:cool:
I was wiling away some time while my brother was having his broken wrist put in a cast. The hospital was by the beach, so I wandered down, sat on a bench and read a paper, rather than waiting in a hospital waiting room.

See what an exciting life I lead?:rotfl:


Anyway, I often walk along a beach and sit. I rarely swim in the sea. Whatever the season.

The problem with the question 'what temperature is your thermostat' is that the answer depends on where your thermostat is!

Many houses with wired thermostats have them in the hall - a room which is often quite cold because the heat escapes through the front door when it is opened (and due to poor front door/window insulation) and in huge quantities up the stairs.

16-18C in the hall probably equates to 20+ in the living room and even higher upstairs.

So, you may think that you are 'moneysaving' by having the thermostat at 16-17, when you are actually heating most of your house to 20 or higher.

We have a wireless thermostat, which can be taken around the house to wherever suits you, although it is usually velcro'd to the living room wall and is set at 18-19.5 usually.
