I flatly refuse to switch my heating on until December, and then preferably a week or two in. Answer is more socks, more jumpers or (my favourite) head to the pub! Half a soda and lime can last all evening in good company and the heating is free. I suppose I'd grudgingly admit that a library may serve a similar purpose, but they don't have salted peanuts.
