My fixed units are nominally rated at 0.25 KWh.

My old house it did that, late 1800s stone built. Very thick walls that just absorbed and retained all heat.

yeah mine around 1955-60 with cavity wall .

North East England. Perfect summer with no cons.

Our next door neighbours apparently have a portable, there's a great big flexi pipe sticking out their window.
It must be working awfully hard, eternally trying to cool the warm air coming in the rest of the open window ?

I'd love aircon, not sure why we never took the leap, 4am, sat awake because I can't sleep with the heat, been the same all this week.

Slightly off subject but I've bought one of those neck band fans.
A girl at work has got one and was quiet impressed with it after trying it, so a bought one myself.

I made an adaptor for our windows from old piece of translucent plastic sheet. All double glazed window's shut nice and cool indoors.

Here’s our Clark air con unit, bought three summers ago from Machine Mart. I made a window adapter from translucent plastic sheet for exhaust tubing so all double glazed windows closed and nice and cool indoors. It does produce a bucket full of water a day which we feed to our plants.

there is something called Little Switzerland near Essendon I think, although having cycled thru it I wasn't convinced

I recently had solar film fitted in the lounge as it was getting toastier than breakfast time at Hiroshima.

I saw someone else mention that stuff, I might give it a try.

It can't be, Danbury hill's bigger than that.
