    We have two of these in our London flat - it's south facing and 2 walls in the living room are glass. it's like living in a microwave in the summer. :o

    one cooler in the living room and one in the bedroom is all it takes to cool it to a comfortable level. I think they were about £40 each a couple of years ago.
    :T :T :T

    Where did you buy them from?

    I got mine from Robert Dyas at the end of Cheapside about this time last year. (Appropriately named street for MSE!).

    Currys I think. But I saw them in B&Q a couple of weeks ago too.

    Haven't rented in a while but just check you're not in breach of your tenancy agreement by going out to work and leaving all the windows open - seem to remember that being a clause in my last agreement, for fairly obvious security reasons. Everything to be locked and shut when I was out.

    There is a legal minimum temperature at which it is considered acceptable to work.

    There is no maximum.

    I believe it's illegal to keep animals over a certain temperature, but on the tube network those temperatures are pretty average.

    After last year (changing into bikini when I got home from work, frozen water in front of fan, using duvet cover instead of duvet) we meant to buy an air con unit in the winter, but summer has come round fast this time round :( We don't have a car and I resent paying £7.90 to have argos deliver on a Saturday.
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    That's what I don't understand about this country. We get about two weeks of 'Girl ogling' weather per year and everyone complains like it's Dubai!
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.

    No-ones complaining, I was just exploring a hypothetical situation and people start calling it 'out of hand'!

    Soon it will be against the law to think outside the box :)
