Hah. Exact same here.

I go between 60 and 62 in the winter. If I feel really cold I use a bunch of blankets and one small electric heater every now and them.

Summer, I just try to keep it bearable. My window ACs can be running constantly and it might still be 80 or more inside. Bleh...

You can't know, because I put electrical tape over it, and wrote "DO NOT TOUCH" on the wall, in sharpie.

Summer is 78 all day/night (which actually applies for about 9 months of the year.)
Winter is 70/68

Summer - uncontrolled

68 winter (only due to wife's whining)
65 summer

would be 65 year round but Mary whines and cries about "freezing" at 68 as it is. I can be lounging in my undies in front of an open window (no, I cannot be seen from outside) and she will be bundled in fleece jammies, double socks and a blanket...shivering and claiming to be "cold".

There's something wrong with her...I just know it!

Do not have.

68 winter, but the wife keeps turning it up at night.
72 summer.

SamIam 01-29-2012 10:08 AM

Winter - 65 daytime, 55 - night (I use a thick comforter and two toasty cats)

Summer - as cool as my ancient room conditioner can get it. When it gets too hot, I head for the mountains.

Same.
But due to 72yo father the heating is on more than I would like.

Ah, the Brits are a hardy folk !

winter: usually none, unless it's the first thing in the morning when my nephew first come then we turn it on until the temp shows 23 celcius. after a little while, we shut it off.

summer: around 80 on the a/c thermostat, that means it's a bit warm in the home, but we bear it. keeps the electric bill down.

In South Eastern England (and especially in my protected Vale home) we get nothing like the temperatures you do. Our current overnight lows barely hit zero (32) and it's generally 10-16 (50-60).

Snow is unusual where I live. A hard frost is more likely, but having to scrape your car windscreen for more than three days in a row is too.

I am hardy as it happens. Walking into work I consider anything above 53 to be T-shirt weather. But that's because it's a mile uphill. I take a jacket or my cloak on Mondays because I have playground duty and am static for 15 minutes. I don't go for the hat, the scarf, the gloves and the boots that other teachers and TAs deem essential. And I walk back into the over-heated classroom reluctantly, rather than feeling relief at finally being warm!

A/C in private homes is extremely rare here. I have been in a millionaire's house and they didn't have it.
But with scorching summer tremperatures that might reach the giddy heights of 32 (90) for one day every year, we find a way to live without it. I melt at anything over 23 (73) but mobile fans and lying down tend to deal with that. Oh and sweating copiously. Still, at least I don't commute by Tube any more.
