Why is it that the British always refer to hot weather in Centigrade yet refer to cold weather in Farenheit?

They don't do they?

 

[Marlton & Hove Albion]

38C on the beach here this afternoon.

Funny how 28C / 83F is considered scorching.

Ok. Can you give my wife's love to all the people at Elvisarama?

No need to go back yet, my jumpsuit has still got a few good years of wear left...

Got it the wrong way round

People tend to say its in the 70's or 80's when its hot yet use centigrade when its cold.

What is your book about?

Nothing very exciting.

A part fact/part fiction guide to surviving life as a deaf/hard of hearing person. A parody of my own struggles called 'Silence is not always golden'. It will probably never be published, but it is proving to be useful on the self-help front.

Working on a film script as well.

Ooooh, for once I find myself hoping that Hove Bed & Breakfast is right, I've got three days off now after a monumentally long seven days at work, and I can't WAIT

"Too hot to riot", my boss used to say.

Er, I don't think they do, do they??

Arguably it's the other way round as people talk about the 80's but then refer to -2 or whatever in centigrade.

generally though it's all centrigrade I think, more than farenheit.

Cars generally show centrigrade as well which is edging us all that way.

Oops sorry just seen you have corrected yourself!!

I will be out in beer gardens from about 2pm, then a spot of cricket at 4.40pm, marvellous.

Edging us all? We went metric in the 1970s, I believe, it's hardly a novel new thing. I was only ever taught metric at school, I haven't a clue what (say) 45F is.

It does make me laugh when people think celsius, Centigrade, centimetres etc are some kind of devilish new fangled implement to befuddle them, when they have been standard for at least thirty years.

Bloomin cold! (7 centigrade)

 

[The Spanish]

The BBC weather is saying 23, 23 (light rain), 20 (heavy rain), 21, 18 (sunny)...

Who is wrong and who is right?

unless we are talking about the next 15 minutes i would not lump your money on the BBC.

Rained a bit in W Yorkshire this morning, but now its f**kin baking. Working at home again today, and just went down to let the dogs into the garden and the conservatory was like a furnace (forgot to open the windows!)

Pah ! It's not called the Treaty of Rome for nothing (as Ian Paisley used to say). It's obviously an evil Papist plot to undermine Protestant England, while BOILING us all to death.
