For the last week or so it has IMHO been quite warm.

So why the hell are they turning up to work with jumpers on and only
taking them off when it hits 25 deg?

The older staff are in t shirts and shorts at 8am in the morning.

Central heating has destroyed this country.


I worked once in Louisiana. One day, it was the normal 80F, and the
secretary arrived wearing a fur jacket.


The last time I was in Texas they were all talking about the cold snap and
were wearing jumpers and stuff. It was the mid eighties Fahrenheit and I
was in shirt sleeves.


One of you poms that moved here used to get around
in a linen shirt, no jumper, and sandals, right thru our
winter that isnt unusual to have a -2 -10C daily range.

Everyone silly enough to visit in winter
always said that his place was frigid.
