    This from a metman:

    "If you still think it wont be cold, think again... On Wednesday it will feel more like -10C in the wind, followed by a incredibly cold & frosty night with significant wind chill. Wherever snow lies, expect wind chill to feel as low as -20C."

    So.. it will 'feel' like -10 or -20. Not really the same thing is it.

    I mean, I feel as though you are a bit of a **** but it doesn't necessarily mean that you are.

    Yes, I thought that. It's science gone mad, isn't it.

    It always feels colder here than most other places. I can remember walking round Krakow in -12 and thinking it was nowhere near as cold as home. That said, I was ****ing pissed.

    I once had a Slovakian girlfriend who would complain throughout the winter (actually pretty much all the time) that London was "colder" than the temperature would suggest and much colder than her homeland. Living in a similar part of the world I can understand what she means. It's -2 here but doesn't feel "too" cold. She was a right bitch though

    Wind chill is something that Britain genuinely excels at, like binge drinking and standing on the correct side of an escalator. I suppose you miss out on these things being abroad (apart from the binge drinking).

    Shouting at people to "stand on the right, please" while thundering down the fast lane is one of the more joyous aspects of tube travel. Along with smell of the tunnels, the glazed, dirty steps, and the squeal of the rails as the southbound train approaches Chalk Farm.

    Not sure if the provincial sorts get it, though.

    People stand on the correct side here - at least when I am around
