Ste CookThinking 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.
BarryP@Polypompholyx Son & partner are renting a new-build flat in Liverpool. Was warm enough without heating, when we stayed there in late November, but when it got really cold, the panel (not storage) heaters it has, were not up to the job, without costing a fortune.
