When I was young the Highway Code said words to the effect of: where there is no pavement walk in the road FACING the oncoming traffic.
Can somebody tell me when that changed? I can only assume I am behind the times given the number of people walking towards me on my side of the road earlier today, ie with their BACKS to oncoming traffic, meaning that, to maintain 'social distancing,' I had to move to the 'wrong' side of the road myself on a number of occasions as these people were completely oblivious!
The wife moaning its cold. We dont need the heating on its 10c.
I had to take the door off the staff room at my wifes business last week to make some adjustments, four girls were sitting in there moaning it was "so cold", one was shivering and was wrapped in a coat. It was sunny, 16c and I was in a short sleeve shirt.

This. Recently moved in with the GFs parents her mother has the thermostat set at 23.5°. Absolute madness. Shes always moaning shes cold and shutting the windows in our bedroom or where I'm working!
I'm sat here in shorts in November. Of course I'm gonna have the window open if its over 23° inside.
Some people’s genetics have a sensibility to temperature. I learnt this from a programme I saw about this over 20 years ago. Me I like it as cool as possible, windows open etc. Those who are always cold aren’t faking it. There’s no point being angry at them. It’s like marmite, they can’t help feeling cold when some people are feeling hot.

I dumped a girl for opening the window and having the heating on during the night.
I told her it was because I had another girlfriend, which I didn't, and I took loads of grief for it at the time as she was fairly popular and she told everyone in the social circle we were in that I was a shithouse who strung 2 girls along at the same time.
I still haven't told anyone other than you lot the truth either

Why didn't you just say you didn't want to see her again?

Or at least start shagging someone else to make the grief worthwhile

I done that mate. Finally had enough, so when I got home from work I told Mrs at the time that I couldn't see her anymore.
When a football analogy is used to describe something, with the aim of the speaker of making the explanation easier for the audience to understand - the annoyance coming from the belief of the speaker that the penny will only drop for the audience with the assistance of this helpful football analogy - ie the audience is being talked down to - and I cant think of a time where the use of the football analogy has been of any assistance at all in understanding something. A recent example was the recent announcement of a possible Covid vaccine where the speaker used the football analogy of "we are coming to the end of extra time and approaching a penalty shoot out " ( in our fight against Covid) . In this example it doesnt even work, because no one knows how much stoppage time the ref is going to add on !

Yeah drives me mad when an analogynis poorly used especially in the example you have given
There are some good football, boxing and cricket analogous stories to be had an used mind you

The opposite in the summer is air con in the office. It’s a beautiful day so you turn up in a short sleeve shirt and jeans only to have some fat bastard turn the air con up to the ‘arctic’ setting......so you sit there freezing.....It’s always the chubbers who do this....!

The virus will disappear if England win the penalty shoot out....keep those masks handy.

I blame it on my viking ancestory as oposed to my relaxed muscle, but then I've got a blokes job and work outside or in a workshop so no such luxury as air con..
Sky sports showing the Nations League table, and the points column being the first column. It has never been the first column - there is a clear, trusted and universally recognised league table structure, and the points gained are the last column taking into account the elements of all the preceding columns, reading left to right. Where has this come from?

More woke culture virtue signalling from Sky with a shift to the far left.

As of last year it was still very much the highway code to travel into traffic when a pedestrian without a foot path. Haven't checked in 2020.
I am justified in feeling irritated by it then although I cannot say I let it spoil my walk.
We dont need the heating on its 10c.

She said - "I'm over here, behind the sofa"
