Wearing shorts in winter.

Flew into Teesside Friday night from Alicante, couple of lads in T. shirts and shorts, it wasn't that warm in Alicante.
 
The males wore shorts in the World Bowls in the past week and the Open Singles was won by a weedy player who would surely be a favourite for a Mr Pipe Cleaners competition.
 
Theres a guy who plays the Sax in town who always wears shorts.
Some mountain - bikers and walkers - hardy types, wear them on the Moors and the hills.
Each to their own.
Angus Young appears to be happy:

To he honest it's a 'thing' with various professions. I imagine as a delivery driver or postman it's alright as always on the move. My postie wears them all year round.

I've never remotely been bothered by it. I work at a lot of B&Qs and many of the warehouse staff live in shorts.

I get the same when out running. Always some Doyle asks why I'm wearing shorts and t shirt yet running in a hat and gloves (people say the same about footballers ). I usually just think 'f"ck off you melt and actually do some exercise' 😂
 
Post-people (as I'm sure we must address them) prefer to wear shorts as if it rains your legs dry quicker than trousers.

Other than that it does look odd chaps in shorts wearing bobble hats, scarves and puffa jackets. Hey wear what you want but if you're feckin frozen perhaps wear some strides...
 
You see all extremes.
A guy wearing shorts and flip flops, walking his dog, with snow falling.
On a packed train with 35° + temperatures and folk sit with coats fully zipped up, while I'm lathered in just a shirt.
Takes all sorts!
 
I always just assumed they were the same as the people who have their steak blue and their phall extra spicy.

It is different when you are participating in sports - People would think you are daft if you left the house when it was raining cats and dogs, people can also think you are daft if you leave the house in a pair of shorts when it is baltic.

Carry on though, I will be wrapped up thinking what a divvy.
 
Reason i started this thread is i don't remember seeing it until relatively recently.
Now it seems very commonplace and dare i say, fashionable?
