Why the fuck does everywhere you go have to be heated to 30 degrees (C) in the winter? If it was summer people would be winging about how fucking hot it is. So why superheat everywhere in the winter?

First of all trains, what the fuck is wrong with railway people? Save money, turn the heating off and charge me less for my ticket! Everyone is dressed for winter, they walk to and from the station, big overcoats, hats, scarves and gloves and get onto a train at 30 C rammed full of heated bodies all trying to do a middle-aged striptease in 20cm of space. Now at work I have to tolerate the same torture, I am dressed for winter and have to strip down to my underwear to sit at my desk. I am sweating, this makes no sense. What is people’s obsession with being over hot?

The most infuriating thing is that it only fazes some people. A bloke on the train this morning in the full get up, reading his Times, not an ounce of upset. I, on the other hand, was sweating in the aisle with my jeans round my ankles in a T shirt and a pile of outerwear stuffed onto the luggage rack having inadvertently punched a little old lady in the face taking my coat off and exposed my sweaty arm pits to a rather attractive Lady as I “stored” my clothing.

Surely, this man cannot be warm when he gets off the train?

In the summer I am prepared to sweat like the next man, I expect it, but in winter, please. Anyway, after that little rant, are you a warm lover or a NORMAL human being?

i agree with ya hon...i hate being too hot...really uncomfortable. especuially those awful heating systems right by your ankles on the bus. i have to sit cross legged on the seat
