Nick, I thought it was common kowledge that even temps over 0 can kill if sustained long enough.... so this whole thread is a bit shocking.




To the Finnish guy:

Yes you're right, most Brits don't know what proper cold means (-20 and below for me), but other then that britan feels VERY cold even if it's not, maybe because of the climate, and these guys carry on in t-shirts only in sub 10 degrees, especially Northerners, and have cold homes...
I heard about a Russian professor who used to teach in Oxford and he used to say that back when he was in the army he worked outside in -60 degrees, but stll he thinks nowhere is it as cold as in english home
