2020, "Dave Plowman (News)" remarked: In article , Roland Perry wrote: The stat isn't in exactly the same room. Right. So what exactly is this all house stat seeing? The temperature in the new kitchen/diner extension. A kitchen isn't the ideal place for an all house thermostat given temperatures can be very high in there when cooking. If I'm in there cooking, it doesn't matter if the rest of the house cools off. In fact, it might even be an advantage. -- Roland Perry |

Not every day; but if it's on, we'll typically be in that room for the remainder of the evening. Not least because it's the room with the TV. -- Roland Perry |

Ah the excitement of waking up and realising from the quality of light that it had snowed. Then sucking an old penny sticking it on the window to thaw a spyhole through the frosting to see how much snow there was. Anyway the room wasn't below freezing, thick curtains took care of that and a couple of thick wool blankets and eiderdown meant the bed was toasty. Modern day wuzzies, pah... -- Cheers Dave. |
