Each to their own mate. I just like wearing shorts for work - I've worn shorts everyday for the last 5 years or so.

Stupid twat wearing shorts in this weather good move.

We have about 3 thickos that wear there shorts all year round if i were the dom i would make them wear trousers.

At this time of year they just look like tramps off the street its ok in the summer but the winter no no.

I was wearing my shorts up until about 2 weeks ago. I would have carried on but ive been on a driving duty over xmas pressure.

If im on a walk I feel more comfortable wearing shorts whatever the weather. Each to their own.

What's the problem with wearing shorts all year round regardless of the weather? I normally do but unfortunatley An injury has meant I've had to cover up for a while. I get alsorts of comments when on regular duties not when wearing shorts but when I don't cos they are so used to it. Also I can still out in shirt sleeves. As long as I keep going I'm not cold and I have a microfleece which I put on immediately I finish otherwise I suddenly go really cold once stopped walking. It's my fingers I has a problem with the cold with most of the time.
