Top advice from the BBC and Sage scientists for Christmas

It’d be weird but it is good advice during a pandemic. Get a couple of outdoor heaters and go for it. It’ll be something to talk about for years to come!

 

"Heaters?? We don't need no stinkin' heaters"

I thought you were a Yorkshire lass! Get wrapped up in't them Damart thermal undies (do they still exist?) , Find somewhere sheltered from the wind/sleet/snow/rain and eat it quick before the gravy sets solid and you'll be fine!

 

This is my patio heater!

 

Jamdrop is Yorkshire's biggest wuss. 'ooooo my hands are cold' the big softy.

She claims it's a genuine medical condition, uses fancy words like reynauds and has evidence and everything but we all know she's just a big girly girl really.

 

I think you're only joking but don't know my parents health problems. Mums 80, got dodgy knees. Can't walk into the back garden to hang the washing out without falling over, bless her. Dad's 84, got Alzheimer's and cancer of the lung and stomach, falls over twice a month, definitely what you'd call at risk. Get some patio heaters for something you'll use once

I think we'll be giving that one a miss thanks

 

I forgot to say that I’ve had a win. Coats are now allowed in school at breaks and lunches!

 

Result. How did you get that changed?

 

I can’t take all the credit, more and more people were asking for it; staff, students and parents and I think they decided it wasn’t a battle worth fighting anymore.
