Do quite like the lighter evenings at times, but tbh if I had the choice one or the other id probably pick slightly lighter mornings.

being a naturist i welcome the lighter evenings.

I'm not sure my new neighbours will though

It's particularly annoying when scheduling things with Americans because their clock change and ours are two weeks apart, so for those 2 weeks the time zone offset is different.

Thought this was going to be another cheesefest topic but I misread biannually as biweekly

Not if you live near me.... Even in the depths of Winter you get the guys walking about with big hat, thick gloves, big jacket, that you'd wear to go to the North Pole, and.... Shorts :confused:

I mean WT Actual * is wrong with these people.

Definitely not! Ours have already got the shorts out!

Not sure what @Feek likes more tbh, BST or Crocs.

Either way, I'm bringing the popcorn.

If the temperature doesn't start with at least a 2 and double figures I'm not interested!

Become a postie, wear them all year round.

If we have another summer like last year the remaining 30% percent of gingers will be wiped out for sure..

Get better clothing. I find Slovenian companies make some great outdoor kit.
With the jacket I got I only need a t-shirt beneath and, so long as I had gloves and a Buff™, I'd never notice it was cold. My two major concerns are the dogs themselves getting too cold, and me overheating!!

ArcTeryx is my go-to brand of outdoor wear. Best fitting, best layering gear I've ever found.

In fact, can we just get rid of winter all together please? Walking two active dogs, twice a day in freezing cold weather isn't fun.

More winter and more snow thankyouverymuchplease.
