There may be people that might be able to spend all day there, and are happy with soup and a roll for lunch, but otherwise it's going to be for just 2 or 3 hours at a time.

What got me thinking about this before now, is that I live in a set of sheltered bungalows, and was thinking about issues that might crop up if it was suggested that people spent time in other people's homes. Making sure that they turned off their heating before going elsewhere was one of them.
I can only imagine you live in sheltered bungalows in Marbella where nobody thinks much about their central heating. Because I know nobody at all that doesn’t think about when to turn theirs on and off. We used to have to persuade my mum to have hers on more often.

As I said … you have a near pathological knack for taking a contrary view of any issue, even to the point of compelling you to take a position that is very obviously bonkers.
