Grand Designs: radiant window heating?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Rod saying something like:

So I've noticed. YAGB - yet another glass box; I haven't bothered watching a few of the last several progs once I saw what was being served up, save popping back into the prog for a look at the halfway or threequarter mark to see if anything interesting had transpired (it hadn't).

Why would an exhibitionist need to?

Shock horror! Exhibitionists want to appear on TV.

Yes, apart from whatever warm air makes it upstairs through the tubular staircase, the heat from downstairs can't benefit the upstairs.

The majority of these designs seem to be built for the views they get - and aren't overlooked. A few have had blinds built in to the windows which aren't obvious when open. Others might be the same.

That's true. Everyone is entitled to their 15 minutes of fame but these people want the whole hour. plus follow-up programmes, plus repeats.

;-)

If you can afford the plot then fine, this week's one was hardly overlooked but there were neighbouring houses in view, such that I'd be a bit bashful wandering out of bed to get to the shower.

You are nuts. They think them through very well and do the calulations to suite.

You are obviously an aficionado of Ned Ludd.

No doubt you have an avocado bathroom suite and carpet on the toilet seat.
