In Scotland, it is known as "winter"

[stek]

I used to walk (about 10 mins) to lunch in my suit until it got below -5C in Moscow - then I'd put a jacket on. As long as it's not snowing or windy it's fine.

Even -36C coming out of night clubs to metre deep snow it wasn't that cold (still glad of a coat though).

The trouble is the UK has a predominantly marine climate and the damp air makes everything feel colder.

All the time at Sheremetyovo the guy on the transfer bus would shout at me 'golova, golova!!' - as u prolly know, hat, hat!!

I'm from Bolton, I don't need no poncy hat!

You can take your "winter", Brown, Darling, and the rest of it back home to Scotland and keep it there.

What? And let the country descend into chaos? We can't allow that...

As long as you keep the chaos in scotland and don't expect to be bailed out (again) then thats fine by me

Nope, no leads. I have trouble reading Cyrillic now too, let alone translating.

Don't forget how their first attempt at running their country ended:

But now that England has been affected by the shocking natural phenomenon called snow, it is known as "FROZEN BRITAIN".

The grit has run out, the Army has been called in, and the supermarket shelves are bare of Hovis.

Cheers! Never mind, I was once offered a job in Moscow in 1992 when I was an Accountant, for Moscow Star I think, long time ago. Anyway it was 60k STG a year plus flat and a driver, three times what I was on then, I turned it down, wasn't a stable time in Russia then but now I sometimes think I should have chanced my arm...
