It's a chilly English winter...


It's bitterly cold today isn't it? So why do some people insist on wearing only T-shirts (boys) or those flimsy little strappy tops (girls)? It's November and it's cold. Just because the sun is shining doesn't make it summer.

Only last weekend, which wasn't that cold but not hot either, I saw people in shorts and sandals. For some people, it seems this is their weekend default setting. I find this odd. I can't wait to put a jumper on. I'm not a big T-shirt fan - to me, they go under things rather than be worn on their own. I'll put a jumper on all summer if I can get away with it. Perhaps this makes me the polar opposite of those who only wear shorts and T-shirts in the winter. T-shirts and woolly hats though - that's just fashion victim silly.

So if you're among this brigade, do let me know why you do it.

And weather forecasters - stop apologising for rain and cold. It's expected at this time of the year. When I used to listen to Capital Radio (not since 1988 though), the weather reports used to be almost hysterical that it wasn't 22 degrees in December. But then they did think they were broadcasting to California, so fair enough.

I find not being able to deal with the seasons annoying. And that includes me too.
