Why don’t people just wear a jumper?
Ahhh, patio heaters. Absolute madness!
When I was out in Melbourne this time last year (so, during their winter)… the things were everywhere! I figured it was part of the culture, in that ‘being Australia’ there was a desire to be outside all the time. However, the reality of things in Melbourne during the winter is that it’s not THAT warm in the evening. It almost seemed like a stubborn attitude to take, like “Well, if those folks up in Queensland can stay outside at night… so can we!”. Perhaps I’m wrong.
Anyway, seems that attitude is coming over to the UK.
