Here in the South it's foggy, damp and 7 degrees although feels considerably colder. Driecht in fact.

Can someone please explain why a (male) runner was only wearing shorts, socks and running shoes plus the inevitable mp3 player. Why would anyone run without a top in December?

Disgusted of Hampshire.

I don't know fighter pilot's thumbs can be enjoyable.

It distracts from the frost bite on the end though, a wet t-shirt probably does more damage though

He'll probably have a classic narcissistic personality type, with a strong leaning towards the exhibitionist tendencies inherent within this personality strata.

He'll have very much enjoyed you looking at him, I'm afraid.

Waves were pants mind.

South coast here, very moist but warm, it's t shirt weather if you're exercising. I'd suggest he was avoiding nippular chafing or he's proud of his new spray tan.

We had a fire alarm go off at work yesterday.

Well below freezing with ice everywhere and damp freezing mist hanging over the car park.

Was quite amusing to watch a hundred odd Geordies wearing thin office shirts or blouses trying to pretend that they weren't cold. 😆

Sounds like he's made it down South OK.

Perhaps he felt he was suitably dressed for what he wanted to do.

I'll be walking home from the office at 17.00. Please tell me what to wear.

I think the real question is - who's husband was he running away from?

Plenty of runners here in the North East with some wearing shorts while others wearing something more just to run but only some with those reflective tights etc ... 😆

Are they trying to reduce their body fat by running (burning) it off? 😯

Me colleague thinks they have done no benefit to themselves (can't see them running in the dark) or their bodies ... 😛

I always assumed this was a British thing (you can always tell the Brits in winter in Prague for example)but yesterday here in Germany in temperatures hovering around -4 degs I saw a hippy walking down the road in a T-shirt, flimsy shorts and sandles without socks and a rucksack on his back. I thought there must have been eddies in the space-time continuum and he had been transported from a beach in Thailand. 😯

Sounds like a bloke who runs past us in best and shirts whatever the weather.

Conversely, I don't understand the ladies who run in so many layers - do they not [s]sweat[/s] perspire?

I'd never go topless, but if running or cycling it's shorts and T-shirt all year or maybe a long sleeved base layer and hat (bald) if it gets really cold. I just get way too warm wearing more when exercising. Once wore long pants for a run and it felt like my legs were going to melt.

I saw similar a few weeks ago at 06:30 at the end of my rd: t-shirt at -1 degrees.

After speaking to him I called the plod as he was a bit off his head. Turns out he was a burglar and has just got 11 months!

Other way round. CG's dairy based beverage attracts the totality of the male population to the outside space.

Does she offer any tuition in this matter?

For a suitable remuneration obviously.

We had a fellow villager in Killin who ran everywhere in weeny RonHill shorts, no top. He must have been freezing.
Equally, he was 60+ and was as fit and toned as a man half that age, so fair play. #ifyouhaveit

PimpmasterJazz..

Don't go to Hayling off the Bar, there's been NOTHING for months 😕

Wind looks to turn tonight, could be a bit of swell Thursday/Friday but it might be a bit windy too.

Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies merely glow. 🙄

Lactose-free cocoa Cap'n? Really haven't a clue what you're on about. 😀
