I have a couple of questions in response to Peter Shenkin's article.

1) You mean they heat the periphery rooms and then put chilled air in?
Is this inefficient?

2) Does anyone else find electric blankets uncomfortable? How can they
regulate the heat if the thermostat doesn't know what the blanket's
temperature is? Or are you supposed to put the thing *under* the blanket?
