Interesting. I think the stinker for me is that I'm in a (rented) property with huge, single-pane windows and the changes can be pretty dramatic. Makes me think it's time to look for a more eco-friendly place...

Oh, nice, I'll have a play about, thanks!
We're thinking along the same lines, I think, I just wanted to see if someone smarter than me had published their solution :D
I'll post if/when I get something that works, thanks.
Oh, wow, that's... a whole thing. I'll take a look at that, thanks.
That's my point: they're all part of England/Scotland/Wales, but they aren't part of Great Britain.
This chart: "England, Scotland and Wales are in Great Britain"
Wight, the Scillies, Anglesey, Sheppy, Anglesey, the Shetlands, the Orkneys, the Hebrides, and thousands more: "Are we a joke to you?"
If Biden pardoned the guy, it would be seen as a very partisan action and would be seized upon in absolutely no uncertain terms by the GOP. They get their base in a lather over shit they just made up, imagine what they'd do with something that actually happened.
In case anyone from the UK needed another reason to prostrate themselves before the altar of Scandinavian interior design and foodstuffs this weekend, IKEA UK now sells the double hotdog at the exit bistro.
I was with them for two months before I had to move out of their area and I genuinely miss it. I was only on their 150Mb/s service but I can't begin to articulate how fast it actually felt. With FTTP the boost isn't in the bandwidth (though you do get that) but the latency. You can tell when you're getting sub-millisecond responses. I'm now stuck with Virgin Media's 250Mb/s service and it's a total downgrade.
In fairness I never had any technical issues with YouFibre so I can't tell you how good that side of their business is, but the installation was totally smooth sailing and the people I spoke to during that process seemed really informed and we're very, very helpful. When I had to cancel because I was moving out of network they weren't awkward or stubborn about it. When I move next it will definitely be to an address with FTTP, and I would rejoin YouFibre in a heartbeat if I could.
Fine, but only if it looks like this:
"Public ownership" is the generic term, I think, for a service that's owned by the pubic (via some level of government). Also: agreed.
What you're describing is similar to the approach I've already taken which is reassuring! The problem I've got is that it only really works if the weather's fairly consistent, but the problem I have is that the property I'm in is very old, with fairly naff insulation and huge, single-pane windows that get battered by wind from an open aspect. I think for most people your approach would work well, though.
And, yeah, I don't mind the temperature peaking and troughing for a couple of hours every now and then, but I appreciate that's not for everyone!
