Keeping Warm Outside

I have given up on the control system of my central heating and now use the damaged Mark 1 brain of a Control Engineer to switch the system on and off to keep the temperature where I want it. I have a nifty meter from Maplin’s, which gives me exact temperature and humidity.

Outside in the cold, I’ve turned to wearing my classic 1960s Liverpool University Engineering scarf.  It’s all wool and I suspect, it’s rarely been cleaned, but it doesn’t smell too bad. Strangely, this morning, the BBC are at Hainsworth in Pudsey.  They’re doing fairly well considering the recession, by selling cloth all over the world.  They still make the all-wool cloth for university scarves like mine.  They’ve also just said, that South Africa is the biggest market for blankets in the world.

I’ve also just ordered myself a cashmere football scarf in Ipswich Town’s colours from a company called Savile Rogue. If that doesn’t fix the weather nothing will.
