What is it like living in a house with no central heating?

But you had the benefit of state education (I shouldn't imagine you were privately educated), which is part of the welfare state; yet remain spectacularly uninformed.

You can only hold your head up high because you've got no shame.

Lol -remember as a kid living in a coal board house which was heated by one coal fire and was as draughty as owt - and some of the private rented properties I lived in in the 70's - waking up to find ice on the inside of the windows.

 

Lucky now I live in rural France - like the vast majority of the people I have a wood burning stove for heating - £500 will keep us as warm as toast from October to April.

Similar here.  Didn't have central heating, just a single coal fire in the living room. Then in my first flat I just had a 3 bar electric fire and yeah, lots of ice on the inside of my windows in winter.
