I hate that "just put another jumper on" mentality! It does get cold here. I had two blow heaters in my apartment last winter, and I definitely needed them.

Don't be a sissy. It feels cold when it dips below 5degC at night. It does that in Riyadh occasionally but never in Dubai. Get a grip!

You sound like my Dad. To which my response would be, "stop being a tight @rse and put the heating on!"

Re: HEATERS

When we were back in the UK I said to my wife "better put your coat on." She asked "Why, are we going out?" To which I replied "Nah, I am and I'm turning the heating off!"

it's a personal thing...
I felt it was very cold last winter...but others thought it was ok...
it does get chilly inside, and with all the tile floors it just feels uncomfortable, especially at night when you sit still for a while...

coldest i recorded last year was 9 degrees and it seldom drops any lower in town. If you go way out into the desert or up into the mountains you'll get some frost
