Brrrr! Who's got the heating on?

[weepiper]

I'm at home now. I'm in the bedroom, the coolest room in the flat, it's 31C. I'm in shorts and a t-shirt. In Scotland I was wearing a jumper and a jacket every time I went out. Not only was it cold, but it seemed to never stop raining. The weather was as bad as an average winter here.

All things are relative. That's unbearably hot in my book.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

That's not cold you tit. I was at work in shorts the first two weeks of August.

Is it necessary to call someone a tit just because they didn't like the weather?

It's definitely warm. this week it is forecast to go to the low 40s. That will be a bit much. It goes down to about 25 at night, at least according to my clock thermometer. (I don't know why my clock has a thermometer, but it does)

yes.

 

[MrSki]

A tit is a good measure of how cold it is.

 

[Miss Caphat]

I like it to be about 25 to 29 C in the summer. anything lower feels like "not real summer"
hint, hint, this summer: get your act together

I spent four years living in Beiing in my 20s, it would regularly hit 43-44 degrees in the summer and eventually I got used to it. When I first came back to the UK I would scoff at Londoners wilting in the high twenties and low thirties and would keep my vest on on all but the hottest days. 11 years on and I get very uncomfortable in anything over 28 degrees.

 

[friedaweed]

To be fair if you're trying to tell a Scots person that temperatures in the late teens = cold you deserve much worse than being called a tit

Bit of a tumshie tit really

As you say, all things are relative. To you EDI seemed hot, to me it seemed very cold. I'm not looking forward to being there for Hogmanay.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

yes.

Grow up.

 

[weepiper]

Grow up.

Grow a sense of sarcasm.

I remember when i was living in southern China thinking 35c was not too bad, I've been back 2 years now and I get grumpy at anything over 25c

In Beijing, if it's only 35 in summer it means it's cloudy and the night will be a steamy unbearable one. Better a blue sky cause it lets the heat out better when it gets dark.

Calling someone a tit isn't sarcastic, it's just being abusive. You often come across as an aggressive individual, so that's not surprising in itself, but it's still unnecessary in my opinion.

I think it's because it takes a couple days to adjust to hotter temps. So if it only gets that hot once or twice a year, you'll always associate them w/ being miserable.

To me, I like it hot because it's so delicious to jump in a lake or ocean (or kiddie pool...whatever you have) and cool off, or enjoy a really cold ice tea/ beer/ whatever. It's not really like that if it's like 22 degrees. It's pleasant and all, but it's not that thing that makes you feel tingly and slightly delirious and then makes everyone come out looking for adventure at night when it cools down just a bit but it's still too hot inside. That's the best.

My husband is going out soon. The second he is gone the heating is going on.

Bra-ha-ha-ha-ha

 

[felixthecat]

Have seriously considered heating but am currently managing with socks and jumpers. I hate being cold ( and to me that's anything much below 20°) even more than I love going barefoot.

I'm so sad the lovely hot weather has gone .

We had a lodger/babysitter (it's complicated) living with my and my dad when I was a kid. She used to put the heating on full blast and run the tumble dryer all day when my dad was out.

He was obsessed with catching her out and used to go round the house feeling radiators for signs of recent use.

I used to have a colleague who would sneakily turn the radiator on all year round and roast the whole office half to death. If it felt abnormally hot I'd always suspect her of whacking the heating on but if I asked her I would get my head bitten off so I'd have to find excuses to go up her end of the room and feel the radiator without her noticing. If it was on I could have a go at her and put it off but if she caught me touching it when it wasn't on she'd complain for ages.

On the other hand as soon as it hit about 29 degrees she'd be walking around in a vest, fanning herself and whining loudly. I think there was about a one degree window where she was actually comfortable.

 

[weltweit]

Still bloody raining here!

 

[Glitter]

He's out! Heating is ON!! :cheer:

 

[blairsh]

Nope. Boiler is broke but fortunately i am not nesh.

 

[dessiato]

Just turned the A/C off, it's down to 26 in the bedroom now. That'll do, cool enough to do some work, warm enough not to bother being properly dressed.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Are you nuts? This is the perfect temp. You don't even need a coat on outside, why the heck would anyone put the heating on?

 

[gentlegreen]

It was cold when the thread was started.

 

[tufty79]

I've just got in from a v. drizzly carnival. Wooly jumper and trackies on now, and considering banging the heating on for half an hour - I'm freezing

 

[friedaweed]

I've just been informed by my two little cherubs that my gaff is too cold. I've had the windows open all day doing my bank holiday bed change and brush out. They're sat waiting for the match to start in their beds with their little geek tablets hogging my bandwidth cos I've treated them to a one day pass on NowTV sky sports. I've put a blanket ban (Pardon the pun) on the heating going on till November. You'd think it was winter the way they're moaning. It's a whopping 14 degrees

I've said if they're good I might leave the oven door open for a bit when the roast is done

 

[Shirl]

We had the heating on for about an hour last evening and it's on again now. I know whatever the temperature is now it's not really cold but it's wet and windy and it feels cold.
