Weird how in the summer 18c would feel warm.

Huh? Maybe if you lived in the arctic 18C would feel warm!

More "normal" would be 21C.

I disagree, 21C is too hot for me, never mind the cost.

I disagree

We're all different. However; I provided a link stating the averages.

All these people that say 21C is too hot. What do you do all Summer when it's regularly warmer than that outdoors?

17-18 downstairs; bedrooms cooler (I have the rad turned off in the bedroom because I don't like central heating).

Specifically 13 at the moment.
I have not as of yet turned the heating on.

Crumbs!! If you leave it as low as that for much longer, you will not be able to turn it up, you will be frozen to your chair.
Sitting here at a very comfortable, 21C, but I will have to turn it down shortly before DW returns, and says I am wasting money again.

Not in N/East Scotland it isn't. :cool:

21 is the warmest I tend to let the heating go to. I feel that if I am comfortable during the summer at 18/19/20 then why am I not during the winter? Think that lack of sunshine may have much to do with it!

It also depends on what I am doing, if its housework then the heating is off completely usually, regardless of the outside temp. But if I am sat there watching the TV doing nothing, then I need to have the heating on with a throw over my shoulders.
