Gentlemen - Gauge the outside temperature using a 'plumometer'. Open your flies and dangle your plums out of your letterbox. If they shrink it is cold outside, if they go baggy it is warm, and if they remain the same size it is the same temperature outside as it is in the house.

Prefer my plums not turning into Bagpuss...but thanks anyway for the genius tip.

I have to say than any advice that involves dangling ones plums through a spring loaded shutter, is not in any way 'Genius'.

Now, opening the door and then getting them out, I'm all in favour of, but for some reason the nursery school across the way aren't overly impressed.
