General: When Will My Central Heating Go on?

Living in Gravesend (for my sins) does have the benefit of being the warmest place in the UK - or so they say. Only living here since May I've not exactly taken full advantage of that. Although I have taken full advantage of the excellent trials riding, the pretty good wooden skate park and the lovely views of the Thames. We'll just ignore the 24 hour McDonalds and the night life.

It is now November and I still don't have my central heating turned on. This is the first time I've lived in a flat - and a poorly converted one at that (although very nice, and very big). Right now I'm getting enough heat from the flat below, and in some ways the flat above (think about it) that my flat is at a rather comfortable temperature. In fact - I'm actually getting a little too warm at night!

Granted - looking at the BBC Weather site, it's only dropping down to 10 degrees at night - but my brother's house in Blackheath is definitely a lot colder without assistance.

So - assuming that as the weather gets colder my neighbours will continue to pump out more hot air - how long can I last without switching it on?

Bet now!
