"I've never understood why installers used to place the thermostat in the hall way"

Most living rooms have a gas or electric fire and as Forum Editor has mentioned the warm room would prevent the room state from working correctly.

The kitchen is not used due to the heat and the grease in the air from cooking would eventually prevent the thermostat from working correctly.

The bedroom is usually kept cooler than most room so the only suitable place left was the hall way.

There's nothing stopping you from putting the thermostat in the living room if you do not use a gas or electric fire.

I moved my thermostat from the hallway to another room.My hallway is the warmest area in the house,so when the temperature reached the temp set on the thermostat,the boiler shut down.This meant that the rest of the house dident reach a comfortable temperature.Correct me if i am doing this wrong.

I have done just that. When I bought this place (bungalow) the thermostat was in a small room just off the small hallway, which seemed to me to be totally illogical. The room got warm very quickly and the rest of the place was cold. When I had the very old controller replaced I also had the thermostat moved to the living room, which is where we tend to spend most of our time. Result room temperatures much more comfortable. Not too worried about the bedrooms as the heating goes off overnight anyway, as long as there is a background warmth in the bedrooms during the day.
