Canadians who dress by the calender...
...instead of the thermometer.
I've just been out for a quick ciggie with all the usual suspects. It's 1.7C with a brisk wind from the NNE at the moment. Nonetheless, it being the first day of spring, all three of the Canadian born smokers in the group were wearing T-shirts. The sane immigrant ones like me are still wearing maximum defense winter coats. Must be in the genes.

Unfortunately you just found three of them at once. Hopefully natural selection will take care of them.

That's funny - I thought the exact same thing about Mancunians when I moved here. I guess it's all a matter of perception. Perhaps I'll notice more Canadians doing that when I go back home.

Canadians suffer badly from this affliction.
