Then the TRVs in the kitchen area should cope? They do here.
Surely the whole idea of central heating is that places like the bathroom are at a decent temp when you use them? Not just the living areas?

for me, yes. But I live in a house with just radiators, the gas fire went years ago, I don't have an aga or log-burner competing with the C/H.

We very rarely *cook* things for breakfast.
Not every day; but if it's on, we'll typically be in that room for the remainder of the evening. Not least because it's the room with the TV.

I'd say your best plan would be to switch off the central heating completely. Since you obviously don't like it.

Of course it was once thought soft not to have bedrooms and bathrooms below freezing point in winter. Not here, though. Had enough of that as a kid.

With modern plastic seats, it's not an issue.

The new house I was brought up in, during the early 60's only had central heating in the upstairs and downstairs halls. The best choice of just one of those would obviously be the downstairs one.

Ah the excitement of waking up and realising from the quality of light that it had snowed. Then sucking an old penny sticking it on the window to thaw a spyhole through the frosting to see how much snow there was.
Anyway the room wasn't below freezing, thick curtains took care of that and a couple of thick wool blankets and eiderdown meant the bed was toasty.
Modern day wuzzies, pah...
