More worryingly is that the indoor thermostat is 2 degrees from turning the heating on.
Time to turn the thermostat off then 🤔😉
2 degrees from turning the heating on
Er... don't let the thermostat tell you it's not still September... get that bugger turned off... or in frost protection mode.
I live in jeans apart from actually hot days.
My better half keeps suggesting that I put on my lounge pants, which I believe are basically pyjamas.
And then a dressing gown.
This is for evenings at home, of course.
I much prefer denim and a hoodie, I find them far more comfortable.
I rode home in the pissing rain the other day and it was warmer than today!
can i just add, as a big fat bloke, i ****ing love winter.
rain mud sludge ice wind snow chillblains...........bring it on.

Best thing about winter is clarts. A rides not the same without them
Let's all go 'round to ton's for big hugs and warmth!
Shorts every day, even in deepest darkest winter. Shorts.
Toughen up ya softie,October 1st is first day of long trousers #inthenorth
Usually mid to late October in the Mystic East before legs are covered by cloth.
You know science says most of your body heat is lost via the head right? A hat means shorts for longer
Think that was an army study comparing people wearing warm clothes and no hat to people wearing warm clothes and a hat.
If you're togged up warm in a cold place but got your head uncovered, of course you're going to lose a lot of heat from the bit that's not covered.
Scientific answers don't teach you very much unless you know what the question was!
Another 6 weeks or so before I drag trousers out for anything other than work. I tend to go for long sleeves before trousers and yes, sometimes a titfer with shorts..
Shorts and hat here too, my male pattern baldness isn’t a good pattern so I’m shaved on top and it’s chilly in here.
I did do a trial run of the heating this morning as I’d spotted the boiler pressure was down near zero when I was sorting the recycling next to it. Rads all bled and a squirt of Fernox for when we do fire it up properly.
I reckon I’ll be wearing shorts & a T shirt every day for the month of October.
Seeing as me & Mrs Efg will be in Southern Spain.
😎😎😎😎
I will however, take a waterproof.
I too have just declared winter, I've put a quilt in it's cover for the first time since May!
Surprisingly, the grass needs cutting this weekend.

100% this. It's nothing but relative to covered parts of the body.
It is a little chilly, my nice glass of Kangaroo Merlot is now actually chilled as I'm outside basking in the warmth of my fire pit (do not fret it's 100% environmentaly friendly, I'm burning recycled mountain bike trail, rotten boardwalk).
Still wearing shorts at work on the east coast of Yorkshire and I work outside , bit chilly today and blowing a gale , some good white tops out at sea .... still not cold enough for trousers as yet 🙂
October 1st is first day of long trousers #inthenorth 😀
Also too early. By north I take it you mean Birmingham?
Well, Brum’s about eighty miles north of where I am, so yeah. Got shorts on, will keep wearing shorts as far into October as possible, and as I got sunburned on holiday in South Devon a few years back during the first week of October, I think I’m well justified.
I wore a hoodie over my tee shirt to the pub tonight, with a quilted US Army parka liner over that, and a thin wool beenie, and was perfectly comfy.
Shorts and a hat?!?!?
Yeah, I’ve got no hair to speak of, with a cool wind a thin beenie makes a big difference. I don’t expect people who have hair to understand.
I see people wearing hoodies with the hoods up, and puffa-style jackets in mid-summer - now that’s bloody weird!
Shorts on Bleaklow yesterday. Today will be Jeans in Macclesfield.
Skinny Jeans on for a week here in the NE.That northerly has little stopping it here.I,m overweight and 59 so skinny jeans really attract the ladies.
You need Geordie Jeans 🙂
What’s the fascination with wearing shorts all the time?
What’s it supposed to be a sign of?
Geordie jeans and a winter T-shirt
What’s the fascination with wearing shorts all the time?
Happiness and contentment?
What’s it supposed to be a sign of?
Comfortable attire. YMMV
Also too early. By north I take it you mean Birmingham? 😁😂
The north here starts at Crawley
a winter T-shirt
So, just a t-shirt then? 😉

I only need to wear shorts if it is hitting 25+ outside. Other than that it is long trousers. Just like I don't walk around in a T shirt when it is 10 degrees outside.
I don't suffer from having hot legs so not really sure why shorts are necessary unless it is very hot where minimal clothing and a bit of air flow makes sense.
can i just add, as a big fat bloke, i **** love winter.
rain mud sludge ice wind snow chillblains………..bring it on.
AS a relatively skinny (if you ignore the tumtum), I also love winter. I basically don't ride my bike in over 18degrees because i feel like death. give me snow and rain any day!
