Sorry. I couldn’t resist.
Personally, I’m not in favour of it. I’ve lived, worked and holidayed in some very hot climates and, if it’s my choice, I turn off the air-con. I may have a grudge, not least as I am pretty certain that some dodgy air-con system triggered my asthma for the first time, some 25 years ago.
Dress for the climate. Build for the climate. Bend your activities to the climate. Don’t make air-con standard just so you can dress up like someone from Mad Men, even though you work in the Tropics.
Today is Air-Con Day!

And no heating in winter? If one chooses to live in an extreme climate (both of them) it makes living easier in these areas, maybe to the detriment of the planet
I have a modern house that is eco friendly and retains hear in the winter and dissipates it in the summer. I only put the AC on when it is extremely hot (e.g. today) and try to resist putting heat on until November or so. I do have some guilt using AC but am not like my neighbour who blasts it non stop for about 5 months every year
And totally ridiculous to be in some large buildings in the summer and it is so cold that one needs to wear a sweater US far worse for this than Canada though
Thailand is a land of extreme tempratures. From the blast furnace of the hot season, to the arctic breath-freeze of a Bangkok cinema.
My memory of my many visits to Bangkok is how it used to piss down rain for about 15 minutes every afternoon at almost exactly 4pm
Su-ure it is, Jaygee!
Did they charge by the quarter-hour?
Fifteen minutes of “bad weather” is a premium professional service.
I remember that, couldn’t get a taxi for ages
I also remember the horrendous traffic even in good weather, worst I have ever experienced
*enters smug mode* We have installed aircon in two bedrooms the house we’re renovating only, the rest of the house will be fans and louvres. (Have I said this already somewhere?). The smug bit comes from the full solar we’re installing on the roof. We’re not going off-grid, but at least we’ll be generating enough juice to run the AC as much as we want.
Bastard.
I know, right?
How did I miss that this gag had already been done? Muppet.
We can’t have the same thing over and over again on the Afterword.
(Hurrr)
Has anyone heard from Gerry Rafferty lately?

But I like dressing up like Joan Holloway, thank you very much. 🤔
