Last resorts he'll turn to trousers, but otherwise he's happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 The farm hand on one of the farms I shoot on wears wellies, shorts and a T-shirt all year round, his legs are blue this time of year but never seems to feel the cold, I was standing in the farm yard the other day having a chat with him, I had my thermal trousers on, a shirt and thick jumper, a body warmer and top coat and it was bloody cold, I said aren't you cold, he just said, no not really, must be mad.

My 11 year old grandson is the same, but he plays football at every opportunity and just doesn't seem to feel the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on, you know you want to 😃 I'm trying to wear them earlier and later each year, but May to October/November is the sweet spot for me. However it was -18'c last night and that is not comfortable in the slightest, however I have to say it is something that you can get used to as i was scraping the ice and snow off the car this afternoon in just jeans, t shirt and a hoodie and it was -1.5'c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Coleman, I think at the time two time Mr Olympia world champion bodybuilder was once asked why he worked full time as a cop. He replied “Ain’t many jobs let me wear shorts to work!” 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy74 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Less restrictive, easier to move around in, as said above once trousers are wet, they are wet all day. It helps that due to an injury i cant feel the cold in my legs anyway 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I stopped wearing shorts when I was ten years old. I won’t even wear shorts in Africa. I have worn trousers, socks and crocs on the beach in the S. of France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have worn shorts everyday for work for the last 12 years. Whether I am in a meeting with the FD of some multi national company, or a local factory, shorts it is. I started with cancer 12 years ago, 9 tumours and 8 operations later including innumerable biopsies I cannot wear long pants as it rubs on the scarring if I kneel down or stretch. So it's shorts and braces. well, it was until,a few weeks ago. Call from social services to try to get some lectric on to a property . "Meet us outside, it's NOT good. Disposable boiler suit, double gloves, vapour rub inside the mask. DONT wear your shorts as if you kneel down you don't want anything seeping through boiler suit direct on to your flesh. See you at 1000h" they were correct, it wasn't good. 2 un house trained dogs , 1" of dog excreta EVERYWHERE, it was like a bitumen road. Cleanest place to put tools was on top of toaster, which was home to a mummified 🐭 ,! comdemned it, cut supply off. at that point I realised the pain wasn't as bad as expected, so it's been trackies bottoms for 2 weeks along with warm legs. Prob go back to,the shorts atbend of Feb though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
