I've never understood why some people enjoy just lying in the sun for hours. I guess it's because I could cover myself in factor 2000 and be burnt with seconds.

I love the winter

I hibernate

[Eric the Half a Bee]

I love the winter

Same here. I have been known to wear just a thin jacket and t shirt outside when it's above 5 degrees. I know someone who wears more when it's 25 degrees than I do when it's 5 degrees.

You can warm a cold bed. You can't cool a warm bed.

I'm not giving you my ring.

Which warm summers do you mean?

Here's 1976-1988 in terms of overall summer temperature in Wales with each year's overall ranking (which is between 1-138, going back as far as 1884):

4 1976 15.83
102 1977 13.49
125 1978 13.05
107 1979 13.42
114 1980 13.36
87 1981 13.72
40 1982 14.45
6 1983 15.61
21 1984 14.96
121 1985 13.12
115 1986 13.35
103 1987 13.49
100 1988 13.50

3-4 scorchers in 13 years while 8 of those 13 years were amongst the coolest summers on record.

We haven't had an average summer temperature out of the top 100 since then, while half of the summers since 1988 have been in the top 30 for temperature.

I can still remember the summer of 1985. It was pathetic. I had to wear a jacket almost every day.
