I’m good with the cold. Energy bills may be painful though and it’ll be a constant battle over the wife wanting a sauna and me wanting to save money on by putting a few layers on first.

I'm building a large box to capture and store all of the heat from the last couple of days, to release on a cold Winters day - should save loads on gas heating bills !

yes the UK seas and rivers are too cold for extended swimming ... when will global warming or brexit (combined impact) fix that - it's not the Med

I hope so. There's too much complaining going on.

Being too cold doesn't quite hit as hard as being too hot. There's basically no upper limit to how much you can heat your house, how many extra layers you can wear or how much exercise you can do to stay warm.

Options when too hot: remove at best 1 layer of clothes/be naked, lie in swimming pool... eat endless ice cubes? Real productivity hitters

You say that. Come winter I think people's bank balance will limit it

Just swaddle her. She will be warm and due to the swaddling she won't be able to beat you to death for the swaddling.

The people who will freeze to death this winter as they're too scared to put the heating on might disagree...

I'll certainly feel the cold for a couple of days. The drop is a big one.

There are tough times ahead, no doubt about that. Energy prices will skyrocket this winter (more than they already have).

Being cold is worse. It grinds you down over time.

It was probably only 5-6 years ago I hated this weather too. Not really sure what changed. Might been stopping gym (weights) due to my knee issue. Hence dropping BMR and thus having a cooler body temp and less muscle mass.

Now I love 25-35. It would be my ideal to bounce around those temps most of the year.

Also being on the sea it really knocks a lot of the thermometer temp. So 35 feels like 30. And can always get in to cool down.
