We all like to talk about the weather. (Yes WE ALL do). This week, the mercury has dropped below zero for the first time this winter period. With it, it’s brought countless gripes, whinges and moans from people telling you “it’s freezing”.

The country is littered with twats like this.

Now, i remember last year when ith it -17C one night. The pipes to my washing machine in the garage were clogged for a week, and after the recent snowfall wasn’t budging, the whole place looked like an arctic wasteland. That was cold! But these last few days, in my opinion, no.

Just wearing a t-shirt inside the house was never heard of in winter!

I put it down to us having a warm winter. Some pillock at the Met Office will probably give you a fact that ends in “since records began”, but i don’t believe a word of this. I think that people are getting far too soft, and that they simply need to “man it up”. 

I was brought up in a cold house. We had metal windows that were wet through. Our bedrooms had no radiators - there was an old electric heater at the top of the stairs. If we were cold, we’d put an extra layer on. If we were still cold, we’d run around a little, or have a warm beverage. When i finally lived in a house in my early twenties that had central heating, i hardly ever had it on as i was too hot! Just wearing a t-shirt inside the house was never heard of in winter! Gradually, you get used to it though, but i still prefer to be too cold than too hot, and genuinely i do.

So, what are the excuses of these pathetic scrotes wandering around shivering when the temperature reaches zero? Are they doing it, because they have been told “it’s cold”. Are they doing it because they aren’t wearing the right clothes? Or, are they doing it to “blend in” and use it as a conversation maker? Who knows.

As for me - i’m off for a warm drink, and to put a jumper on. Brrrrrr…
