I have an ancient boiler in the bathroom which doesn't let me set a temperature! I just turn it up or down to suit.
I have a thermometer in this room and aim for a reading of 19 degrees in here. That is at waist height. The temperature has only got up to 18 degrees today though so I will crank the heat up a notch when I go upstairs in a minute.
This room has a freezing cold cellar directly underneath it so the floor is probably only at 6-10 degrees!! I wear doubled up socks in the winter and always have my feet raised up on a stool off the chilly floor. I have also had a throw over my legs today.

Mine is in the hallway, which is daft as its the coldest part of the house.
Therefore, I set it to 15°C, which keeps the house a pleasant 18 or 19. If I set it to 18 the heating would be going continhously tying to hest up thst cold bit and the rest of the house would be steamier than Sormy Daniels boudoir.

Fairly low here, mainly to toughen up the kids a bit.
We went to a friend’s house recently, much moaning about the price of gas, how the pensioners are all going to die etc… from her husband, who was sat in tee shirt, shorts and flip-flops, the temperature was probably in the high 20s.

18ish here.
It's located in the living room where there is a huge triple glazed ten foot patio door out to the balcony and catches the sun. On sunny days, it's often warm in here due to the sun so the heating doesn't come on much, making the other rooms in the flat quite cool

18C here, and that's only from 7pm to 10pm. At other times it's set at 7C for frost protection, or if I am at home on a cold afternoon I will override and set it at 16C..
If I'm cold I put on an extra layer. No time for the likes of those referred to by @Moon bunny who sit in shorts and T shirt with the heating full on. More money than sense.

It does amaze me the cognitive dissonance involved. It’s almost as though wearing a jumper in winter is seen as odd.
My downstairs neighbour sits in shorts and flip flops with the window open and complains about the cost of electricity to anyone stupid enough to listen to him. His flat is like a blast furnace . I have an idea how he could reduce his bill...

Although its tiny my 1bed house is well insulated in the morning without any heating on I think the lowest has been 16deg C (the thermostat is usually set to 12-14deg overnight but it never dropped that far) . I tend to put the digital thermostat up to 19.5deg in the morning, its not long in warming up to that and occasionally body heat etc lifts temperatures above that. My body could take cooler but my fingers are too damaged my chemotherapy (peripheral neuropathy) and would be too numb to type.
