Shorts on the kop NYD

[Pawk Patrol]

Saw three separate adults in shorts on NYD.

Brave or foolhardy?

Must have been insane levels of sewing machine leg given the temperature.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Saw people wild swimming in the Thames at 8am on new years eve and there was frost on the ground. See people in shorts and sometimes just a t shirt quite regularly even in winter.

Well, it is one thing when you are moving and I personally wear shorts well past September but sat on the Kop in shorts in near zero temperatures…. Not for me.

I saw one young supporter with just a Blades shirt on top! I had 5 layers on and still thought it was parky!

9 times out of 10 it’s cos they have a leg tattoo and do owt to show it

Geordies. Possibly Glaswegians.

Our posties (male and female) always wear shorts, it's what they do!
As a lifelong nesh person, I can only sit by and admire their bravery.
"Chapeau", as the French say!!

Mad Bastards

They do wear quite a lot of clobber above the waist/hips (the posties!).
It's the footy shirts when it's -3c that are the true mad bastards!!

My niece’s 7 year old lad was match mascot on Thursday evening…..he’s still not thawed out

One fella wears shorts to every game, name begins with a “J”. Good bloke.

In general, the way a quite lot of people in the UK dress is pretty mental.

If the sun is out, regardless of temperature, some people think it means shorts and t-shirt.

Even worse though is when you see adults all wrapped up in expensive down jackets and hats and they’re with their kids who they’ve allowed/not been responsible for, making them wear similarly suitable clothing.

Jeans cut downs?

The temperature should be the least of their worries! With the amount of shit the water companies dump into our rivers I wouldn’t swim in one even during the height of summer!

No matter the season , temperature etc … since 1973 I have been wearing high waister , Bell Bottomed ( how I got my user name) Brutus jeans held up with a black , red and gold Snake Belt .

A Blue and Yellow Star jumper , Maroon platforms , Alvin Stardust gloves and Slade Socks .

As a result I’ve never ever felt the cold or the heat .

FACT

In the summer it's cleaner as they can't dump dumps in. In the winter where it's faster moving however...

As a resident of Lanzarote, I was in Holmfirth in November. To coin a phrase, ' It was Fucking freezin!' and yet there were young ladies walking round the bars there wearing LESS than I've seen on the beach here!

 

[CrookesBlade]

My rule is shorts April - early October, although office norms dictate I have to wear jeans more often than I’d like during that period of time.

I know a bloke who wears 3 quarter lengths all year round. I refuse to believe it’s comfortable in near 0 conditions.

Or the touch of a woman?

 

[Billyblade]

Bloke I used to work with wore shorts virtually all year round, justifying it by constantly saying "thi skin's watter proof"

Nor I drown in one. I couldn't join in swimming classes at school as I had a permanent case of verrucas - or at least that's what I told the games master. That and the fact that the chlorine played havoc with my hair.

It’s -3 feels like -8 over here. What’s the weather like with you? I’m very jealous!

John Burkhill.

Either you are a much better dressed man than me mate, or better at searching the internet!!

Morons. Exposing the limbs and joints to cold temps for long periods can cause all sorts of problems with the body. It isnt 'hard' just stupid.
