Where's me cardy?



It never fails to amaze me at how little people (OK, young women) wear on a night out.
There I was, at 11.00 pm last Saturday, sitting in a car in my ski jacket and woolly hat looking for my skis waiting for the car to warm up (looking like a prat -Ed). There she was sitting on the step outside a shop in a short skirt and skimpy top.
I realise that women have this extra layer of subcutaneous fat that will help protect them from the cold but this was ridiculous.
I first noticed this strange behaviour several decades ago in Newcastle. There was snow on the ground, it was very cold and we'd just left Tuxedo Junction (OK, we were young and that's what you did in those days) and there they were, lots of young women, pouring out of the club wearing so little it wasn't true. It was crazy and not much appears to have changed over the years. Strange.

  1. It should say, Where's my cardy and my pipe and slippers?
    No nothing has changed.I remember the days when image took preference over comfort.High heels being one of the most painful. However I think you have been misinformed about this layer of subcutaneous fat. That seems to appear with age but doesn't help to keep me warm.
