I don't think I have ever had a boiler which did what it was supposed to. Walls generally just aren't thick enough, despite the fact that you would hope walls were as thick as possible. Despite thousands of years of building, basic problems don't seem to have been solved.
Oh and spiders can **** off as can parents who scream at children under 6 years old.

I live in a new-ish
flat and it maintains the right temperature all year round.
Also, my girl-friend's
house maintains itself warm during winter and really cool during summer. She lives in the suburbs..... Osterley to be precise (not far from Heathrow). It's gets ****ing freezing in the winter over there.
It's all the central London houses that are ridiculously built shit.
As for the architecture... well I have no objections with it. I still think other major cities in the world are better than London by a mile.
