Frank ReiffWe have three different humidifiers in our home. Not one of them allows you to refill water by just pouring it in from the top? #designOfEverydayThings
Simon Monk@frankreiff 'humidifiers'? An alien concept for someone living in the North West of England. Surely you mean 'de-humidifiers'

Hi, long time no see.
Yes, I’m afraid I live in a house so tragically well insulated, with such huge south facing windows that the temperature shoots from -9C outside to 24C inside (with the thermostat on 15C), a few hours after the sun comes out in earnest.
At the same time the humidity (damn the law of physics) then drops to 25%, so half the day it feels like you’re in the desert.
When it snows it gets properly hot, as the white garden reflects the sun back in 🥵.

@SimonMonk I know that those are first world problems, when I look at the UK pensioners who need to choose between eating and heating.
It’s the classic problem where if you have the money to invest in insulation, you don’t need to pay huge heating bills. If you don’t..
It’s a cultural thing as well though. In the UK, insulation is like winter tires: Why would you want that?

@SimonMonk actually that makes me remember a funny episode at my mother in law’s: She’s messing around with her dehumidifier in the hallway and complaining about how damp English houses are. Then I put my foot right in by asking “How about just opening the window for 5 minutes”? Dead silence. Me realizing I have stepped outside of what’s socially acceptable. Mother in law: “How about I get us a tea and some crisps”?
