To think that 17 degrees is not warm enough?

Staying with a family member who is refusing to agree that 17 degrees in a drafty living room is too cold!! I have a small child here with me and the said family member decided to sleep with the window open as they like the breeze. They also do not like to shut their bedroom doors so draft under our door into the ‘make shift’ bedroom all night. We are in England and it’s freezing at the moment. I am fuming and freezing but don’t want to ruin the day.

It is cold today - I opened the door to go to the bin earlier and it's 2 degrees here. I would say 18-20 is ideal on a day like this.
