Has decided to stop telling me if I need to put an extra vest on, a new one is on order, different make and not reliant on solar for power, just good old fashioned batteries, as I bought the faulty one from Amazon I did get a full refund, though it was a faff to speak with a human
 
Being a Geordie divn't wear a vest , don't have a coat they went to charity shop twenty years ago , no jumpers when frustration got the best of me re playing golf and I gave up they went to so shirts only .I get some funny looks when it snows or rains but don't feel the cold only insist on carrying a brolley not keen on getting wet.

I think it's a Geordie thing, I've never owned a coat, I got my genes from my parents, made of tougher stuff, I wear t shirts all year round.
 
Worked in a Tailors for a while so got the stock cheaply . Adversity towards coats and things started young still have the pin prick scars on my chest where mumsie tried to pin my scarf to keep me warm and make sure I didn't lose it. The resistance to cold started at Senior school when you would take the white gym kit and the sadistic ex England Rugby teacher Mr White said no gym today you are out on Cross Country always on a bitingly cold day . Revenge was short but sweet during our periods of football with those solid nylon wound balls when we would hit him with it as many times as we could as he ref'd the game , happy days.

I hated cross country! Middle of winter in gym skirt and t shirt, it wasn't the cold in minded it was the gym teacher in tracksuit, scarf and hat that piddled us off, evil witch she was.
As for scarf and gloves we wear what we used to call idiot mitts, a bit of elastic with your gloves sown on either end and threaded though your coat sleeves so you didn't keep loosing them. Happy days indeed.
