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'm not seeing the logic in this one, Nomad.

Your hypothesis is about someone who can't afford to heat their home who makes the effort to go to a warm bank yet leaves their heating on by mistake?
