    According to the forecast it will be around 5 degrees at daytime in the next few days with rain, and I was wondering...How do you warm you house at winter?

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

    Central heating or fires. We live in a climate where we expect sub-zero temperatures at this time of the year. Strangely, this year we are not getting them, and today it will be above 10 or 11.

      We get it to put on a big woolly jumper, mittens, a scarf and a hat. Then we make it a HUGE cup of hot chocolate and hope for the best...

        Air conditioning (run as heating). If the temperature drops too far for this to work properly, electric blow heaters.

        If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

        Yes. Air conditioner is good - as long as you have electricity, and no-one can promise it in the middle of nowhere...

          Central heating. I have floor heating through the house, so no ugly radiators. And my house is new and very well isolated, so when I turned down the heating yesterday (over 12 hours ago) it was 22.5C and now it's 21.5C. I'm not even heating the rest of the house and it's between 18C and 20C. Then again, it's pretty warm over here for the time of the year, around 10C. A year ago on this day we had below 0C (which is how it should be).

            Everything below 15C is cold, under 10C is very cold and under 5C it is freezing :-)

                Someone once said to me "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing." I agree on the cold spectrum, about anything below 25C. Anything above that and you can't take off any more clothes, it's just hot and you've got to live with it. Anyway, 10C is pretty doable, I'm usually pretty cold, but with 10C I can go outside for short periods of time without a coat on :D

                  There is a corresponding quote, Danish I believe, which says: If you're cold, wear a hat. Having said that, it's 2.30 am here and about 25 degrees celsius. My winter woolies are firmly locked away for at least the next 6 months.

                    I have free underfloor heating. The guy in the flat below keeps it Saharan. I haven't switched on a heating device in the two years I've been here!
