Well I had to put 3 layers on today because the weather sucks, it's been under 20C for the last 2 weeks. Sometimes wish I was fatter - keep me better insulated.

It's not all amazing, but definitely if I could setup the perfect existance, I'd be over there during winter/spring/autumn but definitely want to pop back to Blighty for Summer..

My dad had 3 heatstrokes and often popped over to see me for a week weeks and had a holiday back in the UK for some cooler summer weather!

It’s cold and chucking it down in Barcelona at the moment! I was hoping for a few days of sun.

Doesn't always work that way, the wife has more subcutaneous fat than me but feels colder.

I think women do in general though owing to higher oestrogen which does impact blood flow, and therefore can make extremities feel colder, as soon as your toes/fingers/nose feels cold it really does make you feel cold overall. Also owing to women mainly being smaller than men but with a larger surface area relative to their body volume they lose more heat. And lastly metabolic rates are on average 20% higher in men - which mean we tend to burn calories more effectively and thus stay warmer.

Generally I agree but you can have the complete opposite aswell.
