How do you manage in winter can I ask if you think 27.5 bedroom temp is fine, to me this is unbearable and means zero sleep, I need the bedroom under 20 to get any sleep. didn't used to bother me too much when I was younger but then hot temps were very rare, I swear I've Viking blood in me as much prefer the cold and very rarely ever too cold.

House stays toasty throughout the year. Heatings set to 21 Celsius and 15 at night which it very rarely gets to lowest I’ve seen was 18 in the house when it was minus 10 outside. Can’t stand winter but I just put extra layers on, baselayer t shirt, fleece lined hoody and a coat.
Rode motorbikes through all weathers till this year since 2004 so got used to the extremely cold days and wearing full motorbike kit, plus 30 celcius air temp and 100 Celsius engine heat.
Exercise when it’s at its hottest and drink loads of water, and keep fit. So that’s how I can handle the heat. the wife’s the same, she put a hoody on in Greece one year as it was chilly (24 Celsius) and it hit 45 during the day so she felt the drop.

Makes me laughg....its rains 320 days of the year, get a few days of dry hot weather and the bans come out, with the money we are paying to the water boards, im going to start putting an appeal out there in Africa.........."can you give just £3 a month to supply an English family with fresh running water so they can have longer than 4 min showers, wash their cars and water their gardens" cos im paying a damn sight more than that per month.

Joking aside, they could use that money to dig the reservoirs deeper or build new ones to store more water, instead they are using it to line the bosses pockets.

Don’t think it’s a supply issue, as in there’s no shortage of water available as a whole. The issue is they aren’t able to pump it through fast enough so people at the end of the line aren’t getting anything.

I guess that’s what happens when they don’t invest enough in the infrastructure and houses keep getting built.

Lovely during the day, only complaint is the temps at night.

Ideally you want it 30C during the day and 5C at night, sadly it doesn't work like that. :D

wow 30c, sounds like hell, for me ideally 15c during day and 10c at night all through the year, exactly the same temp, this would be heaven for me.

Absolutely, its the same when they are dumping tons of sewage onto our beaches because the infrastructure is inadequate.

Don’t think any waterboard has built any new sewage works. Yet more houses are being built
 
Kent - No - r4 interview - they can't produce the extra 100million litres/day(week?), up from 550, that the kent/tory voters are stupidly putiing on their gardens,
they didn't dispute that leaks represent 90million litres though.

the neighbours who pressure/hoze wash the car once a week will have to re-learn the two bucket method.

Its great for what it is.
Just don't take it on any rapids where it could be slashed!
Had mine a good few years and it's all. Good! Needed a couple of replacement parts. But hull is still leak free!
