How times change...

There was a time, round about eleven, I really did not want to go out of the house dressed as the lagging around a hot water tank. However....the chances of snow tomorrow are quite high, and the "lagging" for sale here, is good for minus 40 degrees (isn't that close to absolute zero? Would you really want to snow-board in that weather?).

I get the impression that the fashion here has been design/approved by someone's auntie, as all the t-shirts come down about 6 inches below your belt buckle, presumably to keep your kidneys warm.

The sign next to my gym reads "Do not enter street when snow exceeds 2 meters". Oh aye? And wot sort of fule goes out when the snow is deeper than 2 meters, pray?
