Cold Weather

When I used to overnight in Brissy you'd get in a cab and they'd have full heat on when it's 24 degrees outside.. . Nev

For a country that that has colder climes than Melbourne (and possibly Tassie), I can't believe how sensitive to the cold the British population is... Entering peoples homes in winter is akin to entering a dry sauna; and even in mild conditions they will be rugged up like overgrown caterpillars.

That's something I noticed when we came to Tassie.

I still feel reasonably comfortable whithout heat but the locals were running their home heating flat out. I don't like being cold but I find that uncomfortable.  I swear their winter home heating is invariably hotter than summer.

When Tassie Hydro was the go they'd open the windows rather than turn the Heat down if it got too hot. . Some set the thermostat at a figure you cool below in Summer..  wherever you are.  Some leave the aircond ON when away on holidays (for the gold fish)?. Nev

He's probably from Tasmania. The school kids are tough down there…

In northern Canada you often see daycare people pushing multi-seater prams full of toddlers down the street in what we might call atrociously cold weather. They are required to toughen up the kids.

Ed. Just added a pic, but it insists on coming thru upside down, despite being right way up in my Photos album. Must be because we’re Down Under…
