Quote: Nogget @ December 20 2009, 5:50 AM GMTHenrik, it made perfect sense to me, but maybe that's because I've spent time in Scandinavia and so have come to appreciate how bitter the cold can be. Normally in England, we would never think of a cold door handle as being potentially dangerous.
A typical example of how much an Englishman cannot understand a typical Scandinavian winter was the first time I saw a Swedish weather forecast. I couldn't understand how it was going to be so warm the next day; they were telling us the temperatures would range between 5 and 15. Then it was explained to me that the figures were all 'minusgrader' and it made sense. Of course, they all knew it was going to be subzero for the next 3 months, so there was no need to state it.
What a guy though? I wake if I have to take a piss.
