We live in a freezing but lovely townhouse/tenement /high ceiling, bay but single glazed flat.
It’s been freezing since Before Time
Heating is rubbish and often wear layers to keep warm/survive

About 3 months ago : we got new downstairs neighbours

They did a lot of building work and at first , we thought by the heat and the noise- that they were drying plaster or similar with industrial heaters of some sort ?
Turns out no: they are just from a much warmer country and have their heating on 24/7 !?

My eyeballs are drying out. It’s like a Sahara now
I’ve windows open constantly , but at least my washing dries quickly …

Is it even SAFE to have heating on 24/7? What kind of heating rattles a whole room? My cats are just lying in pools on the floor!

AIBU - you’ll age by dehydration, your cats will eventually jump out of the wide open windows , the noise will drive you mad , it’s bad for the environment
YABU- enjoy the heat ,for once - make a cocktail chillax, throw away your onesies as you won’t need them this winter.

No ,I think it'a an automatic response for me .Grin
Often if I get invested in a thread it goes pfff .

I understand why the OP is worried, but I would be more worried about the fire risk, and that would give me enough to act (probably via crimestoppers tbh)

Maybe OP has gone pfff when the electrics blew!

If the Eastern European country begins with A and ends with A

Except for the stans, all counties that start with A also end with A. Fun fact.

Azerbaijan?

Ooh - I like that fact.

Hiddenmnetter · 09/11/2021 10:46

My apologies I just checked, I thought Azerbaijan was on the other side of the Caspian sea. I shall change how I word it in future! But yes Azerbaijan and Afghanistan are the only two. All the rest including continents if they start with A end with A

Albania.

I would definitely report this - for all the reasons pp have said.

(Just here for the deletion message really as OP doesn't seem to be coming back).
