Quarter past four and I've just drawn the curtains and put the lights on. Depressing.

It really is so depressing, raining and dark, I hate it too.

It is a long day.. shut in .. dark at around 4:30..
The talk seems to be whether the heating is on and how long for.. 

Mine's on at the moment, £7.57 and counting        dunno why I'm laughing.....

dark at 1630   

The first thing my mate asks me when phoning.. 'Have you got your heating on'?
  I tell her  'No'.. but I do have a warm jacket on ..
I am indoors .. dressed for outdoors..

Same here.

Understandably, the main topic of conversation revolves around energy costs & the shopping cost of living.

I had the CH function on for a few days with the stats set very low but I've switched it off again.

I do like the winter, it's the long summer days with daylight at 21:30 & back again at 04:30 that I don't like.

Yes I've heard of others who say the same...

Yes, it's no fun lying like that for 17 hours a day.

Lol. 

I think there is a case for putting the clocks forward in the winter. It was done to conserve energy in wartime, why not now?

It was tried. The Scots complained. 5m Scots 63m others in UK. Unlike football a win for Scotland.

We should have two time zones. Bit of practice for when Kranky wins her vote.

Are you sure? We had summer time and double summer time, but I don't remember the clocks going back

They must have gone back from double summertime to summertime.

OOOOH, Where did you get a pic of my Ex?
