JillyBeanz Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 For those who don't know Newcastle upon Tyne (England), we are famous for not taking any notice of the temperature - all of the descriptions below are in degrees celcius! Just thought I'd give you a giggle! 50 Degrees Southerners turn on their central heating. People in Newcastle plant their gardens. 40 Degrees Southerners shiver uncontrollably. People in Newcastle sunbathe. 35 Degrees Southerners cars won't start. People in Newcastle drive with their windows down. 20 Degrees Southerners wear coats, gloves and woolly hats. People in Newcastle put on a t-shirt and girls wear mini skirts. 15 Degrees Southerners begin to evacuate. People in Newcastle swim in the North Sea. 0 Degrees Southern Landlords turn up the heating. People in Newcastle have a last Barbeque before it gets cold. -10 Degrees Southerners cease to exist. people in Newcastle throw on a lightweight jacket. -80 Degrees Polar Bears wonder if it's worth it. Boy scouts in Newcastle start wearing long trousers. -100 Degrees Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. People in Newcastle put on their long-johns. -173 Degrees Alcohol freezes. People in Newcastle complain because the pubs are shut. -297 Degrees Microbial life starts to disappear. Cows on the Town Moor complain of vets with cold hands. -460 Degrees All atomic motion stops.
