Merino baselayer for me when it is really cold.
Rotherham IS in the South, well, OK, maybe the Midlands
Feet- best way I have ever found is just before the ride, use hairdryer to thoroughly warm feet, inside of socks and inside of cycling shoes. That method has never failed for me.I wear a cheap polyester vest and a merino one over it, as well as a jersey, fleece and jacket. Why suffer? I've yet to find a way of keeping feet warm.
I don't see anything other than the soft southern jessies debating what to wear to keep warm
For anything other than the shortest rides, I think I'd need to barbeque mine with one of these.....Feet- best way I have ever found is just before the ride, use hairdryer to thoroughly warm feet, inside of socks and inside of cycling shoes. That method has never failed for me.

The OP is from Rotherham. Go figure! as our American cousins are wont to emote.
OP; merino next to the skin is the answer. Not cotton, as someone would have it. Get cotton wet with sweat, it's cold. Wool stays warm when wet. If you get very cold, a Woolpower layer first.
Only good use for a spent Daily Mail too, down the front.
But have you tried this? Wouldn't the tin foil improve the heat conductivity, conducting heat away from each foot., and increase sweat levels at the toes, and be less comfortable?A tip I read about is to wrap your feet in tin foil before putting your shoes on. Wrap the foil shiny side inside and it will reflect the heat your feet give off back to your feet keeping them toasty warm.
