I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Well that's all finebut don't imagine that houses didn't have *heating* before Central Heating. They just had lots and lots of coal fires. One in each room, often.
Try living in a house in Scotland with draughty single bloody glazing through the winter without either. Done that in 2 houses where the CH went 'bang' without much recourse, and one where the nearest coal purveyor was a *long* way away, and we didn't have a coal bunker.
They also had much smaller rooms, so heating a room was a lot quicker and easier than today's houses.

i'd guess that ...... every house in scotland prior to the 1970s had draughty single glazing, surely?
