There was absolute pandemonium outside my house earlier this morning. I

Ahh, some "coldies" in the making. (Is it just me who hates the word
"coldie"?)


No. It's a ridiculous term, often used by folk who do not like cold weather.
I *could* call such people "mildies", but I don't, as it is childish and
sometimes used in a derogatory manner. Once you have been labelled thus
everything you say is only taken one way as if you are political or
something.
