Welcome to Britain, a country where the use of home heating systems is not determined by indoor temperature, but by calendar month and a matter of principle.

I mean if I was setting the "Life in the UK Test" this would be one of the questions:

It's late August and you feel cold inside your own home, do you:

1) put on a sweater
2) put on the big coat
3) turn on the central heating
4) wear a hat
5) none of the above

Fear not, people of Britain, I obeyed the law of the land.

However, where do we stand on hot water bottles?

(Obviously do NOT stand on hot water bottles)
