Ten degrees?!? I take it we're talking Celsius and not Fahrenheit, Outrunner? Although it's bad either way!
I couldn't sit there at that level of cold; maybe not even if I was wearing a big coat and a hat. That's more of an outdoors temperature than indoors

Yeah, Celsius. I don't find 10 degrees to be particularly cold. At 15c I'd be in a t-shirt and probably opening a window too. That's a pretty pleasant temperature for me, definitely not a temperature I'd associate with winter or ever contemplate turning the heating on for. At 10c I've put on a light hoodie and closed the window. If it weren't for the occasional issue I sometimes have with damp I wouldn't put the heating on until it got much lower.
The advantage of my body running at pretty hot temperatures is I don't feel the cold nearly as keenly as most people and can easily compensate by just layering up. My utility bills are relatively low too (though this isn't the reason I don't turn on the heating). The disadvantage is that I can't enjoy what others view as "nice" weather. 15c is nice for me, around 20c it's starting to get too hot and unpleasant.
