It's not always like the tropics here. an experience of everyday life It seems that not having central heating is typically Australian. People are lining up in stores to buy space heaters, now that it's cold. As I was listening to the radio, a woman, who had just won a bit of cash from a giveaway, was asked what she was going to do with it, and she said, 'buy a good space heater.' Why don't houses have central heating? It's really not that warm here...   Thanks to Atalanta from USA on 11/07/2008 share it pin it print it report it
