It can be cold in Woodley, damn cold.
{Apologies to the Goon Show}.
The boiler failed last night (broken extractor fan) so the house now reminds me of when I was a kid in the 70s. Back then there was only a gas fire in the living room and no radiators throughout the house; frost on the inside of single-pane windows in the bedroom after a really cold night (remember those?); hot water bottles in the beds to make it possible to actually get under the covers.
Modern life is just too cushy.
