In the papers this morning - HMS Collingwood has turned off its heating - this means the biggest (if memory servres) military training establishment in the UK is expected to work in temps down to 5C, the cost cutting exercise (expected to save £3000 per day) covers supposidly the whole base, Ratings have been advised to wear warm clothing and use blankets were appropriate. If this was in a college the student would be sent home. If this was in a government department the civil servent would strike, but no poor old jack has to put up with it, H&S legislation about the minimum temp at work does not seem to cover him (or her).
