Men in shorts

Sir, – We have just experienced the wettest, coldest “summer” of the century

Sir, – We have just experienced the wettest, coldest “summer” of the century. Yet everywhere I go I see men (many of them past their prime) in shorts. I know shorts are “in” for females, but I have yet to meet an elderly woman in the supermarket or collecting her pension wearing shorts!

Has the body temperature of the male population risen, or is there a “national knobbly knees competition” of which I am unaware? – Yours, etc,
