To absolutely detest air conditioning

Fair enough I was glad of it during the very hot spell this summer but it’s back to normal temperatures now and I don’t think it’s necessary. I’ve just sat on a Eurostar train for 3 hours absolutely freezing and it’s a horrible kind of cold, really unnatural. My office is just as bad - what’s wrong with just opening a window ffs?

A.C. has its place.
UK seems to be mid-high teens at the monent. Absolutely no need for AC if you have some air movement going on.
On the other hand, if I opened the windows, the house temp would go up from about 25 C to 40C. I wouldnt want to be here without AC.

I dislike aircon obsessives and heating obsessives.

Unless it's boiling hot or freezing cold then people should be more than capable of dressing to regulate their temperature.

Maybe it’s just london, but anywhere I’ve worked the windows don’t open - partly for security, partly to stop accidents/people from jumping, I think!
