Central heating: don't touch that dial!
Last week, we gave you five alternatives to central heating during the colder months. Do you have any better suggestions? If so, we want to know them, so we can compile an ultimate guide to avoiding the thermostat; a guide you can print out and stick underneath the switch.
In the meantime, I'm battling with my own housemates to keep the heating off. By November, I've usually succumbed, but I'm going to see how long I can hold out this year. Living in an upstairs flat, I find that it's rarely necessary to keep the heating switched on, but it's hard to get out of the habit.
So, being entirely honest: at what point in the year do you normally fire up your central heating?
