GCSEs pfft give me a break I've been powering through assignments/essays up to and over 2000 words for the past 5 days almost non stop (of course stopping for food/sleep).Julian G said:it was very hot in London today

Bit pricey for a 15 year old, and even for many parents considering how much it'd get used in the UK.Gareth Hale said:Why not buy air conditioning for your home?
exactly why bother if you only use it for about 2 weeks of the year? Its a little pricey for some people as well.... I'm sure as hell I can't afford to bother... I have a car to buy. Not all of us are made of money like you Gareth.Coxster said:Bit pricey for a 15 year old, and even for many parents considering how much it'd get used in the UK.
Gareth Hale said:Why not buy air conditioning for your home? Or buy a Window fan? They work wonders.
David V2 said:Exactly. And, unlike you yanks, we get half of what we earn taken away from us thanks to tax, so air-conditioning is really bottom of the list.
Mojo said:Also, Air Conditioning uses up lots of electricity, I'm trying to use no more than 7kWh/day, and bar 1 day when we had to mow the grass, I'm succeeding. Not only am I saving those who pay the bills a fortune but the environment too.
It's amazing how easy it is. Turn off the TV/Sky Box when you're not watching it, turn the PC's VDU off when you're not using it, don't run the laptop off the mains unless it needs charging, try and use candles rather than lights, it all contributes.
Maybe I was watching too many of those Climate Chaos shows on BBC though
Another example of how un eco friendly you lot can be. Do you know how much electric AC uses?Gareth Hale said:Unlucky for you all w/out A/C. Were going upto 40C later this week, the A/C has been on 24/7 since mid April. Mentains a lovely 20C indoors.
To be fair on the lad, you lot are all whinging because its 20 odd celsius> I've coped alright with the tempratures so far, but I think if it was closer to $0c I'd want air con as well thanks!Jim said:Another example of how un eco friendly you lot can be. Do you know how much electric AC uses?
