I was in Owlesbury (Osslebury) overnight ... nobody seemed chilly even tho CHS not on. Thick old walls though. Wonderful what a bottle of sack and a snifter of Scotch can do. :-)

Drying clothes on radiators is a super mega inefficient use of energy. It is also a significant fire risk. Fear of tumble dryers has made this very bad idea popular. If you don't want a tdryer get a Lazy Susan or use a clothes horse.

Last year we didn't have the heating on at all. So far this year I am still feeling too warm.

I've succumbed - but then, I put my washing on the radiators to dry/air - so don't feel too guilty. AND I only have 3 radiators on downstairs, (one I can't turn off) none on upstairs.
I regard it as a tumble dryer that heats the house :-D
