Purveyor of fine nonsense
I laugh at my Scottish Godfather and cousins who seem to take great pride in the fact that they live in a place which is cold as buggery, it's been snowing there already and over Christmas they get about 5 hours of feeble daylight in every 24 hours!
They especially love to tell us how cold and dark it is up in Scotland when I tell them how mild, balmy and almost sub-tropical it is down on the South Coast and how one can often cycle in shorts and a t-shirt well into October and occasionally in November! Indeed, any mention of the fact that it is so mild down here that we can grow certain kinds of hardy palm tree almost sends them into a fit of apoplexy!
It's all in jest, but it does make me wonder at the person who proudly states that where they live is cold and dark and how much they love beating themselves in the knackers with a yule log just because it hurts and they love it ...
