I spend much of April 2016 in the UK.

My hosts didn’t spend a pound on heat for me during the time I was there.

They don't change when they leave either. Spent a cold night in a house in the States owned by a Brit working here. I thought there was an issue with the furnace but no, they just kept the thermostat low.

Wasn't much of an issue but would have been nice to have been warned beforehand. Would have brought the sleeping bag and thermal underwear if I had known.

Was that because of a record-breaking heat wave, or what?

No innuendo, please! Don't be coy! Was it because your guests have energy-autonomy, operate their own solar collectors, have a high-efficiency passive heating design, or what?

Regards,

We were in London in May.

Apparently May is not part of the “heating season”, and the hotel’s boilers were off.
