Looks like the weather is heating up even earlier this year. First time I can remember having to turn the aircon on in April. Time was it used to snow around once or twice in late April.
But now it's just about time for the annual uk.d-i-y aircon thread.
Wonder what B&Q is selling in the way of portables this year and when they will sell out?
Is it time to buy shares in installed aircon?

No it isn't. You should see a doctor:
a) about your obesity problem b) body temperature clock problem.
Get it sorted.
Funny you should say that. I was in B&Q, for first time in weeks, at lunchtime. I saw stacks of fans, and evaporative air coolers...
Speak for yourself, Sunshine, my heating is still required and the lynge fire goes on in the evenings. (it gets the moggie off me sofa)

I bought a desk-mounted 6in fan in Homebase on impulse 2 days ago. In last summers heat wave we were a fan short and mad passionate love wouldn't have made one available, never mind the money!
PoP
I known what you mean Mike
Oh I definitely wouldn't recommend evaporative air coolers. The UK gets both too hot and too humid. What do you think?
If you really want lots of mad passionate love at temperatures of 33 and above, I strongly recommend air con. It does wonders for the sexual stamina.
We've used ours a few times in the past 2 weeks. South facing room, so sunshine == hot room.
I think that you should lose ten tons of weight.
Venetian blinds cost nothing to run.
Roller blinds and opening the windows do it for me.
After work routine in the summer used to be to get home, open all doors and windows, and sit in the garden for a while with an ice cold beer. :)
cheers, Pete.
I wouldn't either. But I guess they sell well...I was just reporting what I saw.
We have some very nice highly reflective silver blinds. Before I switched on the aircon, the room had reached 27C today.
You have them the wrong way around
Do go on...
He does.......

Indeed. I hope he does this time - I'm just *dying* to know how I have my blinds the wrong way round.
I'm expecting him to suggest I brick up the window next. That's certainly help a lot.
I rather thought they'd stopped selling those. Must have a butchers at the weekend.
