I remember back in 1973-4 when 'they' sent us away from RAFC between Christmas and New Year, then turned off all the heating to save money...
It was very cold at the time; living abroad I had to come back a day or so early and used to go out in my car to get warm as my room was bŁoody freezing...
But it cost them thousands when the heating was finally restored as damp had set in, which ruined miles of expensive wall paper etc.....and, of course, everyone turned their radiators up to max chat!
Penny wise, pound foolish!
