    Sorry to disappoint you guys, but in our house its Mr Pogle, who has the problem with the heating. I make him wear jumpers a lot now. He used to have the heating up to 25 all the time, but I've got him trained now
    - it only took 15 years!!
    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

    Pogle is awarded +5 Xeno Geek Points.

      From wikipedia...

      "Architecture
      See: Vestibule (architecture)

      a large entrance
      a lobby, entrance hall, or passage between the outer door and the interior of a building
      an enclosed area between two rail cars
      a reception area
      a footstool
      a toilet
      a bar-stool
      an antechamber
      an entry room
      a laundry shoot in an American apartment building
      a passageway acting as an airlock between two environments "

      so I vote for 'lobby'!
      This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernames

        So this was really your fault for encouraging it then?

            How's about the girly who thought that keeping the hot water immersion heater on for 24 hours a day would be cheaper? I think the line of logic there went that "if it's already hot, it doesn't need as much heating when I need a bath".

            The first electricity bill sorted that one out for her
            Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

              Lots of people do that, and plenty of plumbers recommend it.
