I think I'd have to sell everything to keep my flat warm in winter. It was a struggle this winter! Or I'd have to wear my coat and shoes all day.
Re: Summer 2012, I think it was a one-off event...but then again 2007 was bad, but that was saved with a few very warm days and it being warm in September. Perhaps more like 1988? My Mum said that was 2012-esque.
