This is so very true. It is quite chilly right now (below 0 F -- minus 22C as I write) and many people aren't able to get their house up to above in the mid 55's F because of the way their houses are constructed or how the heating is. I heard from two friends on FB right here in Poland that one has a bedroom that isn't getting above 11C (52F) and the other whose house is only 16C (60.8 F). These are both too cool for comfort though our house has been 16C at times.
