Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I live in a block of flats (on the top) and the temperature is fucking insane.
My previous house was like that. Top floor flat, western facing, drowned in sunlight 14 hours a day. Nice and bright but during moderately sunny and warm weather it was minimum 28°C all day long.
Never again.
As soon as people come in here they always ask why I've got the heating on. I've never got it on.
On the plus side my clothes dry quicker than ever before! I nearly got one of those weird air heating pod things to dry them before I moved in but they get crispy just on the clothes horse.
Same here, it gets unbearable - I sympathise with you. We have roof windows and last summer during the heatwave I think we touched 36°c inside. I'm dreading what might be to come this year. On the flip side in winter it was 8°c at times...Swings and roundabouts, right?
You beat my score! It got up to 33 in here last year. At my previous house I almost always managed to keep it around 20ish and had the thermostat set to 18 in the winter, so it was a bit of a fucking shock to the system.
