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!
