Sorry Santaman2000, but I laughed. It's cool and damp here, even in the height of Summer it's damp. I want moisture out of the house not adding more. I want a vented cooker hood so that steam goes straight outside and not running down the windows and doors…..and I live in a relatively modern, well insulated, double glazed house.
I sometimes think it was easier pre central heating with open fires and draughts….folks just wore more clothes and expected frozen pipes and ice on windows.

I think modern hermetically sealed houses have a lot against them (as well as some things going for them). Condensation not least. Our home is single glazed, and mostly heated by multifuel burners (although we have central heating its rarely used). We don'y have draughts but we do have good air circulation - I think thats more healthy. My neighbour sleeps with the window open and no central heating. She is in her sixties and just completed a 75 mile cycle race!
