Wearing teeshirt and shorts in March

Ally Dick

This is absolute madness. I know it was a nice sunny day today albeit a bit nippy, but I'm seeing several young men walking around in teeshirts and in one case a pair of shorts this evening, and temperatures having dropped to 3 degrees ! What planet are they on ? They must have unbelievable resistance to colds and flus. I'd be smothered if I tried that

I saw a 14/15 year old girl in my local centra, wearing a string vest!
Some poor old wan in the estate asked her if she was OK, did she need a jacket?
She looked at the old wan as if she was Mad!

And there are people who wear jumpers and coats on warm days. Such attention-seeking.

I'm not a fan of jumpers/jackets/coats at all and unless it's lashing rain or absolutely freezing, I'll mostly only wear a t-shirt/shirt

I'm the same. Never wear a jacket, just go out in whatever top I'm wearing. Unless I'm going to the in laws, then I wear a jacket because if I don't then they'll give me one.

You don't get the cold or flu from being cold. I mean, your immune system can be slightly weakened if you're cold, but being cold doesn't make you sick by itself.

Still a bit nippy out there for that ****.

I saw a half-naked woman running around out the front with two suckler-children hanging off her teats as she played the banjo while smoking a joint, pushing a €500 buggy with a pedigree Pug in it with M&S shopping bags hanging off the handles and then she got into a gold plated HSE Punto and fled to her 8 bedroomed rent allowance home.

I'm not a cold person and I wear light long-sleeved tops all the time - they are made of flimsy material, and I often just leave my jacket in the car if going some place; don't mind just walking from car into someplace without a jacket. But bare legs and arms in this chill (unless doing something to break a sweat) is just weird.

I don't think the OP had any problem with as many stereotypes as you're trying to

Weird!? In what way is it weird? If I'm cold I wear layers, in rarely cold so as I said above I don't wear jumpers, jackets or coats. Hardly weird

Ah Jaysus! It may be the case for some but definitely not for me. I don't like wearing layers so I don't. I'm either weird or showing off the guns :rolleyes:

Very unusual so. Plus there is a leap from jumpers to bare arms.

KERSPLAT!

I'd prefer unusual, thanks! I've a few long sleeve t-shirts but yeah, mostly I'd be bare arms all year around.

Colds and flus are viruses spread by human contact not by being cold.

Good idea: Bermuda shorts.

Bad idea: Short shorts.

I never wear jumpers - blouses/chiffon tops all the time, and a light cardigan these evenings. But shorts - the legs would freeze off. :pac:

I've hairy legs so I'm grand in shorts, toastie!!

Noo

I remember in college about 6 years, during one of our snowy seasons and girls would be wearing those little dolly shoes with no socks and maybe a little light blazer jacket, open of course with a low cut top, bare chest to exposed to jack frost....don't know how nothing fell off!
