I'll stick to burning 🪵

A bit before your time Drago. I remember catching the steam train to Blackpool (think it was the south one) railway station in the 1960's and always loved the smell of coal, oil and tar.

My living room one's been on since 10pm on a low setting, just to take the cool air feel away. I noticed last night when outside at around 8 o clock that it felt slightly autumnal and thought it'll be lightweight glove wearing weather soon. 🤔

Whereas my aicon went on about 10pm so I didn't melt in bed.

Last nights rain helped cool things down a bit, but it's still sticky.

And I thought you warmed your house by the sheer power of your charisma. I am disappointed, Drago, disappointed.

Mine is always on with the thermostat. It’s not fired for a good few months though

I was born in '68. Next thing you know the steam trains are gone from scheduled service in the UK.

Coincidence? I think not.

72F is 22C . That is more than warm enough for most of us. They recommend setting the heating to a maximum of 21C in living rooms, 18C in bedrooms.

For us 18 is too high in the bedrooms - we have the bedrrom windows open in all weathers unless it is actually below freezing!

SWMBO does like the lounge thermostat set to 20-21 (it varies) though - although we often switch it off well before bedtime and let it cool down gradually
In the mornings I generally do not have it switched on until lunch time - even in winter

Put something on your lower half, for gawds sake

I'd gut it out, but if Mrs D overheats it brings in an MS relapse hence the AC.

that little dial in my car however, will sometimes get turned slightly above the coldest setting. sometimes with & sometimes w/o the a/c compressor on

Nope not on here yet (East Cambs)and won't be until late October unless the weather really turns.

Was sat outside Friday and Saturday evening at Burnham Deepdale campsite and while a bit chilly (North Easterly off the North sea!) was ok with a t-shirt and long sleeve.

CH on as I type.

Miserable, cold & raining (Cumbria).

Not likely, min temp of house overnight still 3C above the thermostat setting for mornings and evenings.
