Watched a YT video last night that confused me a little.
It was a Brit living in the U.S., and he was saying that the reason people in the U.S. complain about summer, even though they have air conditioning, is that they set the aircon to a temperature that would be considered very high by U.K. standards: 75°F/24°C.
That doesn't make sense to me, because I was under the impression that Americans are the most liberal with their use of air conditioning, because of the relatively low price of energy here.
So, if you're in the #UK, poll to follow in a reply to this toot...

(Wow, some of y'all set yours lower than me. 😂)

#UK residents only:
In the middle of summer, what do you set your air conditioning to?

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... Home air conditioning in the UK? 🤣
(I'm aware some city based high-rise premium accomodation _may_ have air con, but generally it only exists in cars and offices here)

To answer from the original post what I would set air con to if I had it or when I'm in a hotel room, it's about 17°C
Was going to say I'm a bit weird, but turns out other people have said 18 so perhaps I'm not as weird as I thought.
