Thinking back to the summer heatwave in the UK when everyone was “Our houses aren’t built for the heat, they’re designed to keep warm in winter”, and now everyone is “Our houses aren’t built for this cold”. Maybe time to admit that the UK has just been building homes for 100 years that are shit at *everything* aside from extracting rent from the poor.

@Polypompholyx At least they're better than the back-to-backs that were outlawed I think by the Victorians. "UK housing: not as shit as it could be!" etc.

The glazing is terrible though. Ours has been fitted rather piecemeal with double-glazing over the decades which is actually worse than the single-glazing it replaced. Astonishing.
