IM AN AUTHOR writing a book called 1930 - its about the UK in 50 years where there is an upper class and a total under class - the divider was "did you own a house in 2022" The upper class no longer have to work, they own all the housing stock and they have decided to live permanently in 1930 with stem trains and compulsory cricket on Sundays. England is a kind of 1930's Disney world pastiche, with the poor people enslaved to 200 year rental contracts they are born into, part of their duties are to perform the roles of blacksmith and milk maid etc for the amusement of the rich property owners.

@montvydasklumbys7584 " When the air gets INSIDE the house it warms up " you have never been in a British house have you? Warms up? You are having a laugh.

@montvydasklumbys7584 - "I had moment, where this winter it was 12 degrees in my flat," this sounds exceptionally British the problem here is Britain built 70% of its housing when it was the richest country on the planet and had unlimited coal to burn and no one knew burning it was a bad idea. The houses were incredibly well built FOR THE TIME. And for the fuel / heating system at the time. Since then the UK has dropped very significantly in wealth. We stopped maintaining the houses, we switched to central heating, we didn't upgrade the housing stock and we are a victim of the quality of the houses we built at the time. In most of the world 150 year old houses have fallen down or rotted away or been eaten by termites. The problem is the walls of the average UK house contain a LOT of water in a kind of hydrostatic balance achieved over the last 70 years or so since the cola fires went out. You mess with that balance and you get all sorts of problems from the plaster falling off inside to the roof beams cracking to the walls cracking. You put new windows in to stop the draft and you get mould. You put a dehumidifier in to stop the mould your roof beams crack... The UK has a problem is has nothing like the money to fix, it cant even pay nurses let alone spend tens of thousands per old property bringing them up to modern speck. It would actually have been better if we built crap houses that fell down after 75 years...

@cryptoreport8762 - I've deleted the comment cos I was mostly being sarcastic whilst in a bad mood - but absolutely zero people picked up on that. I've had 50 people laboriously explain to me how damp works and how their amazing brand new houses in much wetter damper places are bone dry - SHOCK... Apparently, everyone that watches this channel lives in a rainforest on the shores of the Baltic Sea...

@montvydasklumbys7584 - BTW "This isn't how humidity works sir, if it's 90% humid outside, it's only humid OUTSIDE. When the air gets INSIDE the house it warms up and the relative humidity drops to super low levels" that does not mean there is any LESS water in the atmosphere - just a number changes. ITS STILL HUMID, still the exact same ml of water per 1m3 of air. If you are going to accuse others of talking "absolute nonsense" [when they are in fact being sarcastic] at least DONT talk absolute nonsense yourself.

@tomward5293 - Thanks - I am amazed to see my comment got 13 replies - maybe this is a popular theme I have happened upon.
