Am really glad to hear that not all NZ housing is cold and draughty...
I moved moved up north (of the UK) last year and I've since got used to being called 'nesh' which I think pretty much means that I feel the cold... which is sooo true... so hearing how cold the houses were was somewhat worrying me and was imagining myself huddled up with about 10 jumpers on around a fire...
However I have a question... obviously I've read that central heating as such doesn't exist over there and that there are other alternatives that people have talked about such as heat pumpts etc... but what I don't get is WHY they don't have central heating... do most houses just have electricity rather than gas??? Is it possible to buy a central heating system (or even bring it with me from the UK and install it)???
