Because only the computers matter!

You live to serve the Mill! :p

(I was referring more to the max temperatures than the minimum ones)

You think you had it hard, When I were a lad you had to crap in your hand and eat it! :p

For the young ones who might not understand the reference, do a search on youtube for "Four Yorkshireman"
 
how is the bar even open???
surely people will just leave and it will go out of business - and they don't leave then they are idiots.
 
For employees see

Regulation 7 of the Work Place (Health, Safety and Welfare) regulations 1992

Temperature in indoor workplaces

7.—(1) During working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable.

(2) A method of heating or cooling shall not be used which results in the escape into a workplace of fumes, gas or vapour of such character and to such extent that they are likely to be injurious or offensive to any person.

(3) A sufficient number of thermometers shall be provided to enable persons at work to determine the temperature in any workplace inside a building.

Brilliant.
I'll remember that one when I hear somebody ask if I think it's cold, I'll say 'It's reasonable'.
When you work with mostly women 30 deg c would still be cold.

Funnily enough last week I put my cardigan on which is the first time I've ever done it and I could hear the remarks 'It must be cold if he's got that on'.

For sedentary working conditions, the legal minimum is 16C.

For more physical work e.g. factories, then 13C is the minimum.

This, only applies to the employees though not the customers.

IMO the worst place for silly temperatures is GYMs, years ago now someone printed an article saying gyms should be maintained at 16 degrees and before a retraction could be printed it had spread like the plague, you even hear it quoted today, and to make matters worse some managers set it lower to try and one up other GYMs lol XD
 
Surely the correct GD answer is turn on the stoves/ovens to maximum in the kitchen and open the doors that connect to the rest of the building.;)

Obviously not or else the OP wouldn't be asking this question, why is this even a question.

What is the world coming to, don't like it don't spend your money there no one is forcing you to be there.

I friggin' love my gym because they very rarely put the heating on - when it was frosty last week it was a perfect 9c inside the building and I had a great session - although it does mean I need to wear gloves when using the barbells!

It was still warmer than that weeks boot camp session which we did outside at 5am and it was -5c :eek:

Whoa, alright Mr "Made of gas", what's wrong with a good old fashioned bin fire? Take one metal bin, fill it with wood, move it into the centre of the pub, cover it with lighter fluid and lob in a match. Then everyone can gather round it and talk about how everything was better when the UK had a coal industry, and how the man dun kept 'em down.
 
Employers just need to demonstrate they are looking after you.

People collapsing due to high temps could lead them with a legal bill/notice.

People getting hypothermia could find the same
 
'The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 says that your employer must maintain a reasonable temperature where you work, but it does not specify a maximum temperature. There is a minimum temperature of 16°C, or 13°C if your work involves considerable physical activity.' This covers employees, to be honest if the place is that cold as a customer I would go somewhere else.

To go against the above needs to be done following a risk assessment showing appropriate mitigation measures which reduce the risk of exposure to a manageable limit. ie. People in ICE bars wear fur coats / gloves etc.
