  1. For the first time this autumn, I felt a nip in the air whilst out cycling. Decidely chilly... Glad
    I was wearing a base layer and the cheapo gloves from Aldi proved to be excellent at keeping the
    fingers warm.

    Cheers, helen s

    p.s. The multi-coloured outfit Vernon was wearing would have made a certain uni-cyclist/bent rider
    weep with envy ;-)

    I've been wearing leg warmers and a windproof gilet (possibly the best buy of the summer) for the
    morning commute since the end of August (usually it'd be mid-September). I've been wearing the leg
    warmers for the evening commute as well for the last couple of weeks, though it was a nice surprise
    not to need them on Friday evening.

    Time to dig out some of those thermal bibs! Extra warmth around the middle (or higher if you get
    them high enough) ;-)

    I've seen the picture (if its the one posted here a few days back). I've forwarded the URL to some
    work mates with the title "Stop me before it gets this far"!

    No - it's not that one. This outfit was worn for the first time today. I do, however, have a pic,
    but the outfit is partially hidden, so justice is not done... or perhaps it is ;-)

    I wore the Aldi gloves this morning. Very warm - I ended up taking them off. Hope they perform as
    well whan it is raining or sleeting!

    The rest of the stuff in Aldis this time round was too neon even for me
    :-)

    SO todays dress was a base layer, an Tchibo long sleeve top. Parrot windshell over that early in the
    morning to keep off that chill.

    In that case I think you can forget the jpegs :-/

    Yes! I was looking forward to the first clubrun of the winter, expecting 'cool' weather - about
    10-12 degrees. When I woke up and looked at the (outside) thermometer it read 5 degrees C. Ah. 🙂

    Definately crisp outside this morning, although it did warm up a fair bit what with that
    glorious sunshine!

    God you Poms crack me up, nearly 10 posts already in this thread just chatting about the weather.
    You know, I think it was either Jeremy Paxman or Bill Bryson who said the English talk about the
    weather so much because there was nothing else to do. Or was that why trainspotting is so popular
    here in the UK? :-)

    Anyway, for what it's worth, I started wearing gloves about two weeks ago for my 7am commute across
    central London.

    cheers, James

    I dunno, you would think you colonials would go ahead and develop your own topics of conversation rather than engaging in meta chat-about-the-weather :-)

    mustn't grumble
