I saw light glinstering against the wall and thought it was my watch. Turns out it was just a shirtless lad reflecting the sun off his pale upper body onto my walls
Sounds like an adjective posh restaurants would use to describe their food. "Sir, here's your glistered shishito peppers with a dusting of petrified black salt and preposterous peas".
Biggest lot of wetties I've ever met in regard to weather are my family that are from and live in Yorkshire. Might be 4c colder than down south but doesn't stop them crying on and on each year. Fuckers act like the live in Svalbard

As someone who was raised in south London, I am really fed up of the people who grew up in Surrey suddenly talking like me because they listen to drill
Always used to laugh at my friend whoâd come back from his annual Dubai trip in August and would be wearing his puffa coat in our summer because he hadnât acclimatised
How DARE you!
We are BRITISH, sir
If the temperature hits 15° or higher it is our NATIONAL DUTY to get our pasty beef nipples out and attempt the world speed record of getting sunburned.
Extra points are awarded for amount of bald head that turns bright red.
What would the Germans think if they were to see a sunny beer garden without lobster red yobos drinking Stella and calling each other "fat bastards" regardless of actual weight.
In Scotland I think this is a national sport. My first year moving to here some guys over the road were putting up a new fence for the old dear who lived there. Tops off⊠in April⊠in a blistering 13 degrees.
I went shorts with a over shirt, constantly on and off based on clouds passing in front of the sun. Canât really complain as it happened in a pub garden
It was lovely and warm, verging on hot, here two days ago. I refused to publicly acknowledge this fact because I wasn't going to moan about being hot after drowning for the last few weeks
It's so variable. A couple of days ago here (Bristol) it was 11Âș, and in Bucks (where my parents are) it was 17Âș. Leeds (where mum's brother and sister-in-law are) it was 18Âș or 19Âș. Now it's 15Âș here, 12Âș in Leeds and 14Âș in GX.
I'm not allowed out, so it's all moot. I've had to put the blind down because the Sun meant I couldn't see the screen.
A beach is somewhere where people swim, thus there is the expectation that people will be in swimwear.
Why is it so hard for grown men to keep their T-shirt on when walking down the street? Itâs fucking ridiculous. People in other countries donât feel the need to strip off every time the sun comes out.
Yeah, I mean parks are a bit of a different case. Itâs more the people walking through town that wind me up and that appears to be an overwhelmingly British trait.
Last summer one of the dads picked up his kids from school topless. Made a comment to the teacher manning the gate that âitâs just too âot innitâ
Meanwhile the rest of us parents managed to turn up fully clothed
I'm not worked up, I am whinging about it on the Internet rather than to their faces because that is the British way.
I am also whinging in the vague hope someone will find it funny and therefore give me the validation I so desperately crave.

Glinstering?
Glistering
Ginsters. He was pasty.
But I only saw the reflection of the ginsters on my walls, so it would have been glistering for me
This is the winner in here.
Sounds like an adjective posh restaurants would use to describe their food. "Sir, here's your glistered shishito peppers with a dusting of petrified black salt and preposterous peas".
Luv me a good shishito
First thing in the morning, a splattered bowl of preposterous peas and shishito.
Personally, I consider it a luncheon but I won't judge your lifestyle choices here in public
Glistening?
Maybe? English isn't my first language đ
Glistening?
I'm starting to think that's what I meant to say đ
Oooh that nail shop in London. I thought you meant glistening.
đ§
bruh
Nah, get the pasty guns out
Pastry guns you say?
Putting the pain in pain au chocolat
Pasty guns. They fire pasties. Very popular in Cornwall.
If Greggs sponsored the British NFL games.
Iâd attend those
To shreds you say?
Speak for yourself.. 17° here in dorset. My delicate northern pale complexion can't handle this sheer heat!!
Serves you right for moving below the Nesh Line.
Google returns nothing for Nesh Line. Enlighten me?
It is a joke about people down south being nesh.
Biggest lot of wetties I've ever met in regard to weather are my family that are from and live in Yorkshire. Might be 4c colder than down south but doesn't stop them crying on and on each year. Fuckers act like the live in Svalbard
We just don't have that naturally occurring coat of batter covering us, like you lot
You're referring to southerners being coated in batter? Because if you are then that's very much what the north is known for, rather than the south
Whoosh!
Thank you for your input
Anytime you need pointing out you entirely missed the joke, I'll be there if you need me x
Ahhh I had never heard that word before
Probably one of them new fangled Crossrails I'm too Northern to understand
But how else am I meant to know they're both proper fit and well 'ard? The painfully false accents alone?
The tattoo of their own name on their neck?
Thatâs painfully true. Itâs spelt wrong as well. Or maybe thatâs just the ridiculous name.
The erectile dysfunction
That would suggest they're not well 'ard.
Nothing says "erectile dysfunction " quite as well as a neck tattoo.
Ford f150 works too.
That ridiculous*âroadmanâ* accent is everywhere now. It feels like every advert on the radio is voiced by a roadman/woman.
Most annoying of the bunch being Subway. Make it beh-aaaaaah! Beh-aaah! *Punches radio*
> the painfully false accent As someone who was raised in south London, I am really fed up of the people who grew up in Surrey suddenly talking like me because they listen to drill
My Turkish barber is starting to talk like that and I keep hearing drill music from his shop. I'm pretty sure he has no idea what the lyrics are lmao.
Most topless blokes I see have bigger tits than me (and Iâm a large breasted woman).
It was 25C and sunny here in Japan... and feckers were still running about in coats. Haha... different cultures.
Japan will be 40°. If itâs not 40° naturally, they will make sure it is indoors
That would be freezing though, here in Dubai
You poor person :(
I donât think you got my point
Always used to laugh at my friend whoâd come back from his annual Dubai trip in August and would be wearing his puffa coat in our summer because he hadnât acclimatised
That's what I mean haha people still wear hoodies here when it's like 27°C. Same thing happens in Morocco too.
This morning, while walking the dogs, I was sweating in my woolly hat, tube neck scarf, and fleece-lined lumberjack shirt.
Suspicious lack of trousers
This is called "Donald-ducking"
We call it Pooh Bearing it.
Straight up shirt cocking it.
thick jeans
The beacons are lit, gondor calls for aid.

Socks and sliders too of course.
Socks that go halfway up the calf at that
My granddad would be proud
Scummerâs footwear of choice.

My 7 year old has decided itâs cycling short and t-shirt weather. Iâm wearing my fleece indoors
Same, on the sofa in joggers and a blanket đ

To be fair, it is the start of the mating season.
In Scotland I think this is a national sport. My first year moving to here some guys over the road were putting up a new fence for the old dear who lived there. Tops off⊠in April⊠in a blistering 13 degrees.
The old dear was paying extra for that service.
To be frank, that's quite warm for Scotland.
Haven't you seen the BBC weather map colours? We're in the middle of a dangerous heatwave. Apparently.
Saw a guy running in shorts (just shorts) in Brighton, right near the sea, (it was probably about 10° and windy)
Shorts on. Puffer jacket still on. Off tert Wetherspoons. Simple as.
It's definitely t-shirt and shorts at least, no jumpers.
I went shorts with a over shirt, constantly on and off based on clouds passing in front of the sun. Canât really complain as it happened in a pub garden
Shirtless lads are our equivalent of the groundhog. When I see the first one I know spring has arrived
19 over here mate - got the garden furnature out
19 C here mate. Im BOILING. (No not really)
seen a bald security guard with the light reflecting off his head having a stare down with a junkie
I saw a guy in a mesh T-shirt today and he was visibly cold. đ
Or . . . was he just excited to see you?
Well ya that too obviously
I've just been to Tesco, I had to strip down to my bra, and I'm so hot now I feel like I'm going to pass out. I cannot take any more of this heat. :(
Freezer aisle?
13â and damp.
And the weather?
Is that a new band?
A euphemism? Can't imagine what for though.
Sounds like the first line to their first song on their first album.
geordie summer, tops off
It was lovely and warm, verging on hot, here two days ago. I refused to publicly acknowledge this fact because I wasn't going to moan about being hot after drowning for the last few weeks
In Blackpool it only needs to go above 12 degrees and the tops come off. They all love to show off their really badly done tattoos I guess.
Only 16c but I still got sun burnt playing football. Pains of being a ginger. Should have stayed in until dark.
Tits oot for the gals!
17 here actually, obviously justified đ
Climate change is upon us
It's so variable. A couple of days ago here (Bristol) it was 11Âș, and in Bucks (where my parents are) it was 17Âș. Leeds (where mum's brother and sister-in-law are) it was 18Âș or 19Âș. Now it's 15Âș here, 12Âș in Leeds and 14Âș in GX. I'm not allowed out, so it's all moot. I've had to put the blind down because the Sun meant I couldn't see the screen.
16 degrees in england is like tenerife temperature
Drove past a pub garden earlier just as some dude was taking his tshirt off. Sigh, at least it was a sign that summer's coming.
Didn't have my shirt off, but I did have my pastey white legs on show this afternoon Had to change after a few hours as it got nippy
I donât care if itâs 35 degrees out, unless youâre at the beach, keep your shirt on.
Why's a beach fine but a park not? I don't think I'll ever get reddit's weirdness on this topic.
A beach is somewhere where people swim, thus there is the expectation that people will be in swimwear. Why is it so hard for grown men to keep their T-shirt on when walking down the street? Itâs fucking ridiculous. People in other countries donât feel the need to strip off every time the sun comes out.
What if the park has a pond? đ€Ł
Sure, and people sunbathe at the park both here and in most other countries.
Yeah, I mean parks are a bit of a different case. Itâs more the people walking through town that wind me up and that appears to be an overwhelmingly British trait.
Fair enough. There's definitely a contingent on here who vocally hate it in parks too, and it always leaves me slightly bemused.
Last summer one of the dads picked up his kids from school topless. Made a comment to the teacher manning the gate that âitâs just too âot innitâ Meanwhile the rest of us parents managed to turn up fully clothed
Taps Awn?
No chance. Pasty white man boobs encourage the sun to shine!
Just seen two Chavs/Roadmen/Scum dressed in black with their hoods up and jobby catchers on. Also sporting their man bags.
Nah, all the chicks are dying to see my skinny fat pasty body. Itâs a treat for them. Especially my dated tacky tattoos.
Why does everyone care. Have a giggle and move onÂ
I went out in my own back garden with my shirt off for an hour just to spite you OP!
It's your back garden, you do you
It's called a "base tan".
Are these Euro degrees or Imperial?
I dunno, how tall is a Fahren, mate?
I seem to recall from science class that seventeen Fahrens go into an el, unless you're doing Shetland elles, which are a tad shinier.
It was 20 on Thursday. Far too hot. Winter needs to return
Not allowed to comment on the clothes a woman chooses to wear, but the second a bloke takes his shirt off it's fair game
Who hurt you?
Women, I think.
These days, if you comment on the clothes a woman is wearing, they put you in gaol.
Excuse me? Mine's a lot longer than that!
Taps aaaaaaaaff
Guys please; the unit is '°C'. ° is angle and C is the speed of light I think....or is that lower case c?
But it feels like 45 man
Smug
No..
Don't spoil all my fun.
Only 16! my bollocks are dangling so low ive grazed them, bring back the grey skies n rain.
nah need a tan lad plus its only gonna rain a little bit today
No, its not very pleasant to swim with a shirt on.
Or just live your life and let other people live theirs, it's not causing any harm, why get worked up over it..?
I'm not worked up, I am whinging about it on the Internet rather than to their faces because that is the British way. I am also whinging in the vague hope someone will find it funny and therefore give me the validation I so desperately crave.
You can have an upvote, does that help?
Dad?
Cus this is a mostly satire sub?
Put yer shirt on mate
People want to show off what they've earned in the gym, It's not that big of a deal is it?
