Civil undies request Civil servants in London are being encouraged to wear thermal underwear to work in winter in order to cut central heating costs. In the old Rathaus in Linz, the building had little or no central heating until the rebuild about 8 years ago, and each office had a small solid fuel burner. During the winter they were issued one bucket of coal per day. If it ran out, tough. -- Tim C. |

Baroness Young also has no qualms about telling Americans how to dress when it comes to cutting pollution. "I hate going to America where you have got to put clothes on to go into the buildings, rather than take clothes off," she said. "If we got the Americans to turn down their air conditioning by four degrees, we would probably reduce the reliance on Middle Eastern oil that's caused quite a lot of the problems that we are facing on global security terms." 06 June 2005 The Americans got themselves to raise the AC temp and lower the heating settings during a fuel crisis about 30 years ago. We did this all by ourselves without having a distant kingdom tell us how. The heat was set at about 68F. That would be about 4F degrees too warm for a Brit but 4F too cold for an American. There were grumblings and grumblings.
