I have a woodburner which I light around 1pm and that heats part of the house, my sitting room and hall at least. My house temperature only gets down to about 15C with that regime but that is too cold to sit in. However my secret weapon is that I discovered that I have a heating element in my towel rail in the bathroom. I had forgotten that. Makes for a decent heat in the bathroom. Trouble is that unlike my woodburner, there is no radiator effect. Switch it off and the room quickly cools down.

Funnily enough, the boiler engineer who came to sort my boiler was wearing shorts and of course most postmen do all the year round. Maybe there is something in what you say.
