I went to university in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. As I remember the dress code for men was a sports jacket over a thin shirt buttoned up almost as far as the neck. This applied in Summer and Winter with the option to do up one button on the jacket if it got cold. Women's dress started with miniskirts which were compulsory for teenagers on a Friday night.

There was a "Guide to the weather" doing the rounds a few years back. It was along the lines of:
-20C: clubbers in Newcastle put a jumper on
-30C: housewives in Shetland stop putting the washing out
-40C: Norwegian army cancels winter manoeuvres because it's too warm.

They are so wonderful, I've been waiting to see what they'd do this year. Thanks for pointing it out!

My pleasure :-)

(But did you read that this is the last one they're doing? :-( )

The last LOTR/Hobbit one - he promises something different for next year ...

He is, indeed, magnificent!

Isn't he just!

Have you had to go into work today, or not?

Not yet, which means they all got in, and got the alarm off. The next test is whether there are problems setting the alarm later this afternoon ....

I shall keep my fingers crossed!
