Crazy person – usually male, who likes to wear shorts in all seasons. Perhaps it’s me, but I can’t think of anything worse than bare legs when the temperature is -1.
So if it’s cold enough to need an insulated jacket and woolly hat, surely knees need protection as well, what do you think?

I agree absolutely. I’ve given up feeling sorry for the postman who struggles to deliver my letters in the snow. Why doesn’t he cover his knees? In later life, he may regret this.
It’s insane isn’t it? I wonder if I’m going to get arthritis in my knees from wearing short skirts in my youth!
I’m in complete agreement, Gilly……I’m feeling a sudden cold chill just looking at that image!
I’m also with you on this . . . . the other evening I walked back from pilates. I had a thick long coat on, hat, double socks, loads of layers on top but thought I’d be fine in just my leggings. Well I felt warm walking back but when I got home and felt my face and my legs – they were scarily cold.
The shorts thing seems to be a matter of pride with the post people – who can tough out the worst weather. Though I have come to the conclusion that the younger generation actually doesn’t seem to feel the cold. Saw a young man putting antifreeze in his car yesterday. It was a slow job – snow swirling, he in short sleeved t-shirt, apparently untouched by icy temps.
Round here it seems it is the required outfit of post persons!
That’s quite a covering there Gilly. As for me I haven’t been outside at all since Monday except to feed the birds!
Makes me shiver, just looking at your photo. Crazy dude. 🙂
We have people here that do the same thing. And what’s even more ridiculous, in my opinion, are the people who wear sweatshirts or coats and then have their bare feet in flip-flops.
I’ve seen several! Some might have been running, but not all. As for your chap, his knees look alarmingly red.
LOLOL … you’ve just posted a pet peeve of Al & I. Here in FLorida men wear shorts ALL the time. Many wear them to dinner. Of course, not in a fine restaurant but still the same – why is it so difficult or cumbersome to wear a long pair of pants in the evening. I sure hope his knees give him a pain or two. LOLOL ….Great photo

I agree. Frostbite can get to knees as well!
Must be a Kiwi, many of them only own shorts….
Great shot! I’m with you. Cover up those legs! I have a neighbour who loves his shorts …
I don’t get it either… show off that he is. 🙂
