Gas

Our gas supplier is raising the price of its product by some ridiculous percentage.  Time to get out the woolies.

I refuse to feed their shareholders' hunger.

Because central heating is very nice and all, but I lived the first ten years of my life without it.  Later, as a young married, I spent three years in a draughty, decaying, unheated, Victorian vicarage in Cambridge- and If you can survive a fenland winter without buffering you can survive anything.

Ailz says we can go sit in the public library if it gets really cold.

Even in southern Spain we need winter heating although we have switched to a heat by the room system (electric). It's quite economical and involves the use of inverter heat pumps in each room that have individual controls. of course we did have to make the initial investment to install all that.

We tend to do a lot of layerd bundling up in the winter inside, anyway. It's often warmer in the sun outside than in in Seville in January.

This is not an economical building to heat- what with the high ceilings and all.

But our British winters do seem to be getting warmer.

We did a trial run earlier this year- when the central heating went down (because, embarrassingly, we'd managed to flip the switch without noticing) and we managed OK.
