It got cold here last night and I woke up at about 3.15am with stomach
cramps and starting an attack of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - ended
up sitting on the bog for 45 minutes!

I got to thinking - why do fan heaters have thermostats that turn down
once "the room" gets warm? In reality, "the room" is usually nowhere
near warm.

Downflow fan heaters are usually mounted at about head height or
slightly above and, as we all know, hot air rises, so when the heater
itself thinks it's hot enough it automatically switches the 2kw output
down to 1kw - but at "sitting on the bog" height it was fekkin'
freezing!!
