That's the chap. He looks like he is well equipped for the cold. What clothing have we got that is designed to keep out the cold .......... A FLEECE!

Having a p.ss could be a problem. It would ice up before hitting the back of Mrs Smiths Shed. Might be a job to get the todger back where it belongs.

Don't know why we don't get issued with a pair of propa water proof boots just to wear in snow conditons, keep them in your locker for when needed, only get one issued pair once ever 2 maybe 3 year. coz the boots we get are crap in the snow or heavy rain. in 2010 when whe had that awful winter that didn't want to end, walking round in the snow for over 4 hours my feet wheren't cold i was in pain, never felt nothing like it, was nearly in tears on delivery.

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
