Irrelevant, I'm already wrapped up in my duvet.

Matt Seppings
Yes
No

Under it right now.

Ah, go on then. Just for an hour.
It's not exactly time for the full whack yet, but you could definitely get away with a short blast. If anyone complains just say you were 'making sure it worked before winter'.
