There was absolute pandemonium outside my house earlier this

investigate to find a dozen schoolkids virtually beside themselves

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.

Perhaps we should call them "hotties", although that's liable to be
misconstrued.
