3 cosy coats we're buying this week because it's not getting warmer any time soon
But who cares if the weather's bad when you look this good?
I read a story today in a British paper that February in the British Isles is going to be freezing. No Irish paper could confirm that our piece of rock in the Atlantic would be as badly affected as GB, but we all know our record for "bad weather".

It's a short month anyway, but if the cold snap continues into March, well then we're going to be annoyed.
