HEATING ON You lot need hardening off like plants. I bet you all sit in the house with t-shirts and shorts on saying "Oooh isn't it chilly" My is PUT A JUMPER OR CARDIGAN on and save your heating bill.

Are me and Ken the only ones who don't have central heating.

Well said Barb!! You know of course that most of them on here are from middle class suburban families from Cheshire and Quinton and play at being working class for the benefit of us here on this website!!
They've never,unlike me and you two,how is Ken by the way? , had to get dressed in bed under the blankets in the winter.
They've always had central heating and never had to get up in the morning to light the fire and whilst making a cup of tea notice that the newspaper drawing the fire has suddenly burst into flames!!

I put a jumper on and a fleece jacket before I could get warm, think my blood must be turning to water.

Upper middle class Robert get it right!

We must have been posher than you Rob because we had a "drawing tin" which my Dad made. Wooowooo.

Ken's fine thanks, but the weather is playing havoc with his old football and cricket injuries. The cold gets in his joints apparently.

Has anyone taken their jumpers off this summer?
It's alright for you wealthy people with your open fires; you can afford the price of coal and wood and for all the heat to go up the chimney.

Luxury! Sheer luxury!! You had blankets? We had nobbut a rag for modesty and we had to use the rag to clean the pickaxe to chip the ice off the windows to put in a kettle before we could have a cup of tea. And a screw of tea had to last all week. And we couldn't afford paper, certainly not to burn on the fire, sandpaper to wipe our backsides it was. And no coal for us you know, for us it was "Chuck another child in the grate, Ma." Lucky she was a good breeder!

[Rob]

Yeah right!! You been watching Python dvds again?

Signs of Spring here. Daffodils, the first leaves on the weeping willows, blackbirds playing 'chicken' with cars. All good

It's pigeons that play chicken here!

We've not had the heating on yet, and sometimes I've noticed our ventilation system has gone up a level, which it only does if it's warm - even when it's a bit grey outside. So although it's been one of the wettest summers, I don't think it's been too cold.

You're not as old as you think you are:
