Don't get me wrong I'm all for more insulation as it often leads to lower energy bills, but when you live in a property with solid stone walls it's not that easy, or cheap, to insulate to an acceptable level that's going to make a difference, and that's not including the solid floors that would all have to be dug up and relaid.
