Just to be clear, it's not just "I literally froze to death" thousands of people die in the Uk each year due to the cold, and that was before the cost to heat your home more than doubled. Whilst you appreciate the architecture, the rest of us will appreciate not freezing to death.
- yetanotherloser 4y agoTosh! Thousands more people die in winter, not from cold, probably because they're stupid enough to see NHS doctors. They don't actually die of cold in a country where uninsulated old houses rarely even form ice on the inside of the windows these days. Even that isn't harmful; you should try it, it might make you realise you are much less fragile than you believe. In mentioning the architecture I was merely referencing that Britain having less-insulated houses than some countries is not some moral failing but an historical accident - but if I could trade all modern houses for beautiful ones I would do so in an instant. Even without heating they do not get cold enough in winter to kill you; if you transplanted them to Poland they would, of course, but we don't do that.
