You do work on off shore oil rigs dont you? Not ones that are on land?
LOL.
I've looked longingly at the sea many times but there are barracuda and other things with sharp pointy teeth swimming about down there and I'd kinda prefer to keep all my bits

You need to invest in a bunji cord.
Jump from the edge have a very quick dip then get pulled up as quick as you went in

Thats probably because the minimum workplace temp is 16 degs, anything lower than that and Health and Safety Exec can get involved.

I therefore call shenanigans on gambitt's claim of aircon set to 8 degrees and require proof

Failing that, we can always grass him up to HSE

I sometimes wear a jacket in our so called 'Summer's' nevermind Tee's in Winter

That's what the little digital thing says. Although it beeps all the time and you can't adjust the temperature anymore so could be broken. It's definitely not 16 degrees though. It's like being outside.
Put it this way, when I walk to work in this weather (20 minutes at least), I don't feel cold. I get in the office, take off my jacket, sit down and it's bloody freezing. I have to warm up my 'mouse' hand all the time.Me and 5 other guys already wear T shirts under our shirts.
I have to meet clients at work so wearing a T shirt, shirt, tie, wooley jumper and jacket to a meeting isn't going to look very professional
And I know it's not just me because the other guys complain when he's out of the room, but none of them want to have conflict in the office (these are mostly guys who have been in the company for 4 years and have never asked for a raise). Also, isn't aircon bad for the environment?
I know Gilly will argue this to the death (right Gilly?
). Go ahead King of the Keyboard, take it away

I only feel it in the mornings when I set off for work at 5.50ish. Once I get back any clothes are fair game, t-shirts and shorts included.
I'm the same. I walk around in my t-shirt half the time and just don't feel the cold like most do. My ears do get a bit chilly though and I feel it there 
Mind you, the lab I work in hits some horribly low temps during winter and believe me, working at 13c isn't fun and I do feel it then.

I do feel the cold, but going in to university requires me to walk about a mile up hill, so by the time I get there, I'm pretty warm, and everyone else is complaining it's too cold in the mornings . I've thought the recent cold spell has been about the right temperature for the walks in the mornings so I've enjoyed the walk a bit more, and I'm hoping it will go colder again soon

Rubbish! I mugged K for his jacket at the beach earlier in the year, I had two on and he had just a tshirt. He was definitely blue around the edges but refused to admit he was cold!
