And I was concerned that wearing a cardigan around the house would result in a Hairy Cardigan (2 Saint Bernards) but apparently, mine was knit from magical, hair repellent yarn
Well you cardigan wearers, we suffered a maximum of 43C (109F) today, so think yourselves lucky you need a cardy!
You have that right, I will take 20F (-6.7C) over 90F (32,2C) any day, and lets just not talk about Fahrenheit readings with 3 digits.
And how did that work out for him? 😰And let's not forget the man who started the trend, the 7th Earl of Cardigan, James Thomas Brudenell.

Lord Cardigan was a lieutenant general in the British army, famous for leading the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War.
And how did that work out for him? 😰
Immediately after the military disaster, Lord Cardigan is said to have boarded his personal yacht in Balaclava harbour, where he ate a champagne dinner.
At that time, aristocrats like the 7th Earl of Cardigan could purchase an officer position in the British army, a practice that was later abolished.
Hence the political neutering (or worse, viz Romanovs) of royal houses all over Europe immediately post-1918. The 1919 flu epidemic didn't help either.
Thanks for the all the suggestions folks...
The Clint Cardy is the one I'm hoping to rock! I've been looking in charidee shops over the weekend, but nothing's tickled my fancy.
The search will have to wait until the new year now..

I never get cold enough for a scarf.
It only ever really gets to around -10°c max in the winter here.
I am from the North of England btw. 😉

Anywhere close to Newcastle and wearing a cardigan would be a capital offence. You might just get away with a string vest and a pinstripe jacket Rab C Nesbitt style.I am from the North of England btw.
I often sit in an old coat.
Even then I sometimes still need the gas fire on.
I have plenty of money, its just I prefer I keep it rather than give it to the utility company.
