That's what living in the British isles will do to you.
My kid brother lived 4 years in Edinburgh (peddling whiskey). Went there last "summer" to see him (and RHCP). It was windy, cloudy and never above 19 C.
My brother kept saying "Bloody good weather, eh ?", and not in a sarcastic way.
Personal preference: 20 C
Cheers

Well it seems that a lot of you guys either like it cold, or I'm a wuss 
I did figure out how to turn off the "heater" here at work, so I'm not being frozen today. This is a change from last year. Usually it's 80+F inside in the winter and under 70F in the summer. I work in the worst building.

In minnesota here, I remember when it got down to -40c (which coincidently is also -40f). Now that was cold.

Yeah, I've been to Minneapolis in November, it was definately cold there. I hear at -40 that's when you can spit at the ground and have it freeze before it hits.
I don't want to experence that personally.Where I'm at, like I said, it only gets below freezing at night. We do have nasty fog durning the winter though (40F(5C) and 100% humidity sucks) and it breaks 120F(49C) in the summer.

I'm a person who always has hot! seriously!... I always have my window open in my car..
Tshirt in the winter etc...
my wife is quite different, always cold, always the heater on at 23c....
always complaining its freezing in the house (een when our house temp claims 22-23°C...)

Even when it's more like -10F, it's pretty bad. I used to bicycle into school when I was in college year round, and I have this distinct memory of my eyes tearing up from the cold and the tears freezing to the side of my face. It's not particularly pleasent.

Ideal temperature for me: 13-17C for when I am sitting still, -10 to 0 when I am more active. Most people tend to be rather shocked at how cold I like to have it - I have been known to walk around outdoors in just T-shirt/jeans in -10 and not being bothered by the cold.

Being sick really can throw off your comfort zone. But hey, all electrical appliances make heat, so just turn on more computers.
Ah, blast these notebooks... a single light bulb sucks more energy.
But it certainly would help if those weird brits didn't build houses with cardboard walls, hilariously drafty doors, cheap wooden window frames and single glazing (WTF?? Does time slow down when you're driving on the left side of the road? Which century is that again?), and at the same time charge a rent as if you were living in a royal palace.
