I'm not surprised your bills are low, then. Most will want their house

WHAT? No wonder we're uncomfortable in some houses. We're not tropical
plants.

You must hate the summer then.

We do. Even in Yorkshire it can be far too hot for us.

Perhaps you spend all the money you save in
gas for heating on electricity for air conditioning?

Certainly not, we close the thick curtains on the south side of the house
and open doors and windows.

My house never falls
below 10C for much of the year with no heating at all...

But we DO have heating. There are several sources, as I've explained. Most
of the heat generated by whatever means is retained by the insulation.

We're not unique!

Not much point in having central heating if it's
not used.

It is used, it just doesn't make us feel the need to take off clothes :-)

As I said I don't want to wear outdoor clothes indoors. It's unhealthy.

I don't know about unhealthy but it would be uncomfortable. Comfort is all
to us.
