I hate central heating!
My natural body temperature preference is to be too cold rather than too hot[0]. And people always have central heating on far too high for my comfort. When I'm in a building with central heating, I feel my face starting to flush and sweat prickling out on my back. It's horrible and makes me feel really uncomfortable. And because it's "central" heating, I have no option but to suffer.
With an open fire, on the other hand, everyone can regulate the temperature around them to their own comfort level : Too cold? Move closer to the fire. Too warm? Move further away. Central heating is the fascism of domestic temperature control!
[0] I realise I'm probably a rarity in this. I never have the heating on at all in my own home, even in winter. If I get a bit cold, I just stick a jersey on.
