Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The UK’s houses are still designed to retain heat. In an age of global warming, that needs to change.

MVHR especially helps to distribute heat between rooms

Never thought about this aspect of it. Was going to just get single room MVHRs for the bathrooms and kitchen, but now considering this... Downstairs gets quite cool at night while upstairs is still hot as balls, so distributing that heat with vents makes sense.

If you've got an attic, you can try opening the hatch to it. The heat will rise up in to the attic and cool your top floor a little.
