Incredibly, it's actually warmer outside than it is in my office! :frown: I wish I was outside...anyway, I thought I'd share this with y'all:


50 degrees - New Yorkers turn on the heat. People in Scotland plant gardens.

40 degrees - Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Scotland sunbathe.

35 degrees - Italian cars won't start. People in Scotland drive with the windows down.

20 degrees - Floridians wear coats, gloves, and wool hats. People in Scotland throw on a T-shirt.

15 degrees - Californians begin to evacuate the state. People in Scotland go swimming.

Zero degrees - New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Scotland have the last BBQ before it gets cold.

10 degrees below zero - People in Miami cease to exist. People in Scotland lick flagpoles.

20 degrees below zero - Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Scotland throw on a light jacket.

80 degrees below zero - Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic. Scottish Boy Scouts postpone "Winter Survival" classes until it gets cold enough.

100 degrees below zero - Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. People in Scotland pull down their ear flaps.

173 degrees below zero - Ethyl alcohol freezes. People in Scotland get frustrated when they can't thaw their kegs.

297 degrees below zero - Microbial life starts to disappear. Scottish cows complain of farmers with cold hands.

460 degrees below zero - ALL atomic motion stops. People in Scotland start saying "chilly, you cald an aw?"

500 degrees below zero - H e l l freezes over. England wins the World Cup!

My wee sister's at UCL; apparently she and her flatmates were making something out of snow yesterday...not a snowman, I gather, as the neighbours found it offensive...!

We on the other hand have had a little frost and ice, but that's been about it - it rarely snows in central Edinburgh. :smile:

Ah, the memories........
