I'm over at the family home and oh my, I'm roasting, the central heating is on nearly 30C+ and it's like a sauna. My much younger sisters have to have the windows open sometimes just to sleep, even when it's ice cold outside.

I don't mind it on about 20c, but it's on nearly all the damn time :eek:. Most of the friends of the family that are women also have the heat wacked up

WHY??? :(
 
I have one friend who's cold when it's about 60c in his house and then another who's hot when it's about -30c (both male). Some people are just weird :p.
 
Idiocy id say, why throw heating out the window? tell them to stop being materialistic self important drama queens and turn the heating off and put a jumper on........people like them killing those white fluffy bears up north i tell ya :p
 
I remember visiting my (now ex) mother in laws house and it was so warm I usually sat on the floor. I didn't mention it until about a year later when my (also now ex) wife mentioned that her mum thought it weird I always sat on the floor and asked why. Honestly it was like a sauna. I saw the thermostat a few times and it was usually at 25'c!
 
Back in my youth in the 70's we didn't have central heating. It was a matter of getting up, get dressed quickly, run downstairs to be next to the gas fire for 5 mins then off to school.
 
Just chicks mate. Had so many arguments with my Gf about it!

Women seem to have a strange reluctance to put on more layers
 
Women. Always women.

I lived in a house with three girls in uni and I would come back to the thermostat being on 30C.
 
In my current room we have a heater and whenever I come home my girlfriend has it cranked up to 25 degrees. I turn it straight off. I don't see how anyone can sleep comfortably with a room that hot.
 
Came home and house was at 8 degrees, a little cold but I was out all day and it never got above freezing. I normally set the temperature at about 16*C

Where do you live? Even at this time of year my flat never falls below 15c, even with the heating off. It's always a good ten degrees higher inside than outside.

Mine's much the same. I'm yet to even put a jumper on inside, let alone put the heating on. Unfortunately my flat mate's girl friend comes round and decides to turn the heating on as she doesn't seem to want to just put a jumper on even though it's probably no less than about 16C. I used to just turn the heating off as soon as I noticed it had been turned on, but they've now gone and bought an oil filled radiator which they stick in their room, so unfortunately I can't turn that off (although I've been tempted to replace the fuse with a blown one whilst they're out). Even though I've said on several occasions I don't want to pay for unnecessary heating, they don't seem to care. Just means this summer I'm going to use my air con unit, and he can pay for that too, which will even it out.

Currently no heating here and it drops to 8c in the hallway and about 12c in the living room. The joys of living in the North.

@ OP, tell your sisters to just set the valve on their rooms radiators to a comfortable setting, then they wont need to have the window open.
