My old nan used to say if we moaned as children of being cold 'change your butcher!' Hehe. Don't know if thats just a northern saying! Although i dont ever remember being cold as a child, my mum doesnt either, she said as they didn't have heating etc that they were used to it. I suppose nowadays we are all a bit 'nesh' compared to then! Lol

What does "nesh" mean, please - never heard the term before.

As a child, I used to get told off for being "nesh" - a common saying in the West Midlands too! I was told " you're too nesh you are - tut - go and get a jumper then!"
I do think that children are becoming more "nesh" largely due to central heating and the fact that i-pads, x-boxes, wii's, computers etc., all keep children indoors and they don't get accustomed enough to cooler weather. Not all children admittedly, I have one who is going to Snowdonia tomorrow to walk, climb and whatever else she can find to do - whereas I have one who is, well, "nesh" and would quite happily stay and watch t.v. all day.
Back in the day when I was at school, we were out at playtimes in all weathers - only in really bad weather were we allowed back indoors. Now, even in the "fine rain that wets you" it's back into classroom.
I know what you are all saying but I agree with Bob61, that on the whole we just enjoyed whatever weather we had because we were on holiday. I mean we are in England so what do you expect.
I agree with the light nights but, I have to say, they have remained the same year in year out, so no surprises there then. Mind you, 2 years ago we were in the North East on mid-summers day, 21st June and it poured, so it was dark much earlier and it was so cold - we didn't have any heater (it being June) and I had my picture taken with my fleece, gilet, blanket over my fully trousered legs with long socks and hat and scarf - and I was still cold and it was very dark!!
I think with England it is still as it has always been -the luck of draw - good old England!

I have no idea, maybe its just a yorkshire term in the older days! Probably related to not having enough meat on your bones to keep maybe. It sounds funnier when said in a old yorkshire accent "tha needs to change thee butcher lass, tha's nesh!"

My daughter is quite happy to play out in any weather. Children don't whinge about the cold the way us oldies do.

What happened to Fairs weeks North of the border last week in August 1st week in September if I remeber right every thing use to shut down and people went on Holiday, That is if they were entitled to two weeks hols. I use to spend these two weeks serviceing machinery in distilleries or bottling halls or installing new machines up ready and tested for the people coming back off hols, Then two days running and training staff on new stuff before travelling home south of the border did the kids get an extra two weeks then.
