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.

Not all. I am older and in the recent spell just started to feel
comfortable with long sleeves long trousers.
Due to medication that stops my heart pumping as fast as it should so
feel cold even in warm weather.

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

Well, In New Zealand they don't use boilers they use Heat pumps which of
course cool in the heat as well as warm in the cold, so maybe your
apprentice is a New Zealander?

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.

The apprentices were probably getting acclimatised for their summer
holidays in Spain.

Bet he doesn’t get around in gum boots. That’s the dead giveaway.

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.
