Bah!! You load of soft Southern jessies. Up here, when it gets above freezing we call it summer and go running naked round the bens to try and get our natural blue colour to a pale shade of white.

TOP-TIP For keeping warm at night at Camber in the budget chalets.
Leave the heaters on low and/or use a programmable electric blanket....
BUT Remember to make sure you have enough tokens in the meter before you go out, and keep some spares in hand.
Miss Conduct walked back from the blues room at 6AM so smug last November.....we were looking forward to our hot chocolates, warm chalet and I was looking forward to a pre-warmed bed.
Disaster! The tokens had run out (and we hadn't got any spare with us) . We had no lights , no hot water , no hot chocolate , and ICE COLD beds.
Amazingly our electricity still cost £16 in tokens over the weekend, despite that (self inflicted) 10 hour power cut!

*unpacks nightie as it will be too warm in the farmhouse*
Never spent more then £6 with heaters on most of the timeOriginally Posted by Zebra Woman
