I'm 21 and whenever I used to stay at my Grandma's house, the heating was never on in the upstairs bedrooms.
She was in her sixties, I was in single digits. We're both still going strong. To be honest, it was just chilly until you warmed up the inside of the duvet.
I think she's had central heating less than five years, and that was because the local council insisted on installing it.Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.”
Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.”[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]0
