The request is both rational and reasonable.

Wearing lots of clothes is traditionally the British way to cope with the lack of central heat.

Wearing lots of clothes is traditionally the British way to cope with the lack of central heat.

Also, in the UK and many areas in N. California, Oregone, Washington and ????:

We call it layering. Start the morning layers of necessary clothing and take the layers off in the warm afternoons/evenings, in those areas cited above:

Even in the summers it can be in the low 50’s in the morning and mid to high 80’s in late afternoon. Yesterday, we had a low of 56 and a high of 86. No heat and AC for about 30 minutes in late afternoon.

We have 2 retired docs in our block, one who grew up and practiced in the SF area, and the other in the Boston area.

Both set their thermostats to 70 degrees, 24 hours a day. We just got our PG&E bills. Ours was $110 and theirs were above $500. Our homes are basically the same size and get the same sun exposure. They have been warned that their winter bills could exceed $1000/month.
