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

"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'!

There is a palace down the road but I could not afford it!

Originally posted by Incognito View PostI disagree Sir. As you know (), the air get's its temperature from blowing across the heat exchanger (radiator). This is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant that flows through it to the air blown through it by the fan. Now, if you are blowing freezing cold air over freezing cold coolant, the logic is not hard to see that it's going to take you longer to heat that freezing cold coolant.

open the main door and the inside door of the lobby, thus letting out all of the heat from the house and freezing out the ground floor, so having the same effect on the heating as turning up the thermostat, but not around to benefit as they are not in the house!

Originally posted by TCL View PostBeing a bloke, I clearly understand the point about thermostats etc, however, answer me this:
Got in the car on the way home tonight...weather freezing, around zero degrees. Turn the temp on the car to about 22 degrees and hit the "auto" button on the climate control and guess what happened? Yep, fan goes to full speed and blasts freezing cold air into car for first few miles.
So are cars secretly women? Is that why mine is so tempromental once a month?
