The Lost Pommy

[Bribie G]

Growing up in the UK (my parents were still alive) I never ever felt cold, and was bemused that foreigners described the British climate as 'cold'. Sure it would be a bit chilly running from the house to the off licence in a snowstorm wearing a shirt only, but not that shivering bone chilling cold. I would go hill walking (bush walking) in the Welsh hills in winter and camp on snow for a week and be snug as a bug.

I didn't experience real abysmal soul-shattering cold till I visited Canberra.

Even the cold is better in England.

Or having got to the pub, found leaves and grass more appealing than the parma and pot deal
