Flip-flops in February

I am going to take a minute to talk about the British, and their misconceptions about the sun and summer. The picture above is my own, I took it YESTERDAY on campus where this guy was walking around in flip-flops, IN FEBRUARY, when it was about 10°C outside!! That's just wrong man! Not cool (but probably quite cold)!

But I would be lying if I said that I was surprised. The British seem to believe that just because the sun is out it is summer, and you should wear a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops! I would agree that such an attire is appropriate for summer, but people, come on, a little sunshine does not make it summer!

If I would venture a guess I would say that since we don't often get a lot of sun over here the poor saps feel that they must treasure every ray of sunlight and treat it as if there was a whole summer in the ray on sunlight. I do agree that we should treasure the sun we get, but treating it as summer is just wrong! I am sorry to shatter anyone's illusions, but just because the sun is out does not mean that it is summer!
