Having tried a No4 for the first time during lockdown, I'm a convert. I'd have it all year round if it was warm enough.

Out of interest, is this some kind of franchise operation or do you have a monopoly?

I tend to wear a hat of some kind, even indoors I'll wear a cap, so I tend to stay warm year round.

I thought his old mates in the military came in and did it for free
as long as they get to keep the scrapings
word has it that they send them to the Ukraine where they dissolve Russian Tanks on contact

I put it on last night for an hour or so to dry some hand washed clothing items on my radiators, while having the windows open to let out the moisture such actions cause. 🧐

I've been putting mine on about 10pm and turning it off about 12.30am most nights recently, just to take that damp air feeling away.

Having an A energy rating means the slightest heat gets trapped in the new Drago Towers, making it uncomfortably warm at night this time of year.
As such I've had to have the AC going to keep Mrs D at a sensible temperature, as she can be quite ill if she gets too hot with her MS.
The AC is very economical to run (I run it in reverse in the winter like a heat pump, much less expensive than running the hesting), but there is an irony in having to run something on electricity as a result of a houses A rated energy efficiency.

2-3 days ago the roomstat was at 19.6 and the eating was off, but I was frozen in the lounge at 21, and thinking of turning the stat up. When I was cycling I could be comfortable in shorts & T shirt at 17, now I can sometimes be cold in the mid 20s wearing long trousers & jersey.

heating off completely from 1st June, with any luck that will be it until Sept, maybe even October

Ours is off and has only been on for an occasional hour for weeks
Basically we only put it on when we (i.e. my wife) are cold
We never use the automatic mode and just do it manually because what we need varies depending on what we are doing
Even in winter it only tends to go on about 10 in the morning.
