    Makes me wonder how the original occupants of my house managed back in 1901. It was colder then (allegedly) and they didn't have the benefit of double glazing or man-made fibres. It's a wonder they survived the night.

    Always found the best way to warm up is go for a good walk to get the blood circulating. Trouble was this morning was so cold it took quite a good deal of walking
    for that theory to kick in. Another thing is as the years go by you feel the cold more I m afraid!

    As I seem to be finding. Mind you, the BP meds accentuate this too.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    That wind is coming straight off the north pole man. Cuts right through you.

    Since having a new, and far more efficient, heating system installed recently, my fiancé is complaining about the cold. FFS - the thermostat says it's 22-23 degree C; I'm perfectly warm enough, but then she was born only 500 miles from the Equator!
