Cold inside the house

One of the mysteries of life in Australia is that while its not typically cold here we tend to be cold inside our homes, despite pouring a few kilowatts of electricity into the home.

I can only assume that its a tradition we have followed from the English who also manage to make pathetic houses from the insulation perspective.

Academics ponder the issue but builders keep churning out the same designs and foolish Aussies keep buying them.

They then sit around inside complaining about how cold it is. Strange how its often actually warmer outside ...

Why don't we laugh at Australian chimney and fireplace design next
