In six days we've used 102 cu m of gas, for a cost of just under £42,

I'd stifle in those sort of temps. 18.5 during the day and 20 in the
evenings here. What saving to they reckon for each degree reduction
in room temp?

I've no idea, but one thing I've noticed is those who don't have much
red meat in their diet (like us) need more heating to keep warm (or
feel the cold much more). A 'Mediterranean diet' might be all very
well, but it doesn't provide much of an 'inner glow'!

When the kids were younger, we've sat fully dressed on a beach in
South Devon in summer and felt very cold, while those around us were
in beachwear.

When I get up in a morning to put the heating on, the lounge is never
lower than 17.5 deg and it feels really cold. I work from home, and I
couldn't do that in such a temperature.

PS: I'll put my hands up....six days for a total of £42 is £7 a day,
not £6....
