Even in warm/hot weather I take along a jacket to protect me from overzealous air-conditioning. I hate sitting in an icy draught in a restaurant.

I have been doing this for 41 years, probably because my parents did the same thing. Even when it is 100+ degrees I still walk in the door and put the kettle on. It is certainly a habit hard to break!

Anyone else with old habits they cannot break?

I drink like a 12 year old. Ribena is my favourite drink in the world, besides tea. We can be having a big family Christmas dinner and I'll always eschew wine and booze in favour of Ribena, water or tea.

I have definitely been here too long - it took me several puzzled seconds of trying to understand what racket sports or courgettes had do do with Ribena before I realized what you were talking about ...

As long as I've been here I still call carbonated drinks (coke, Pepsi etc) fizzy drinks.
The guys in my office have finally stopped trying to change me.
