24°C with a nice breeze coupled with 13°C at night is just about perfect British weather. Can't vote for that though because that would mean I also think 29.5°C is fine too. Damn Moggy and his broad temperature catergorisation.

Just above freezing is fine so the roads and paths are clear of ice and you can have a nice walk and not get hot.

20C is about the right temperature for me, I tend to feel a bit ill if I get much hotter than say 25C but I also dislike being too cold as it seems to make my muscles even weaker than usual.

The highest temperature I've experienced was 41C when I went to the Salvador Dali museum in Figueras (Spain), it wasn't too bad inside as it was air conditioned but as soon as you went outside it was unbearable, the 2 hour drive back to the apartment in a non air conditioned minbus was not fun.

0 - 10 all the way, I love me a bit of chill. Although I would probably go more 5 - 15 for proper comfort.

I feel like mid teens is the way to go here, I dont mind the cold at all but once things go over 20 I really start to feel it. I dont mind things being hot for a couple of days like it is now, but if it was always like this I wouldnt enjoy it at all.

10-20

An office environment should never go above 19 at the absolute most, and offices should always be too cold rather than too hot.
If someone is cold they can put on a jacket/jumper or something. If someone is too hot they can't do anything.

Surely any office environment where jumpers or cardigans aren't considered a good idea is a bad office?

My idea of a good temperature depends on what I'm doing. If you are actually trying to get anything done then then it needs to be colder or else its harder to concentrate or do anything physical.

For working: About 16-18 degrees.
For just resting: 20-25 degrees.

20-30 supremacy.
can wear shorts and tshirts everywhere
dont have to remember coats and hats and jackets
no chance of getting chilly
women wearing a lot less :datass:

the problem with 10-20 is you never know what to wear/bring. it might suddenly be blazing sunshine and feel too hot, or suddenly the sun goes in and the wind picks up and you wish you had a coat. annoying.

It might be summer, but Christmas is coming and it is time to decide what the best possible traditional Christmas dinner actually is.

In a new twist on the GR Decides format, you may select 5 items to build your perfect traditional Christmas dinner.

To ensure no arguing, I checked Wikipedia to make sure nothing was missed off.

At the end, we will see what GR thinks is the greatest Christmas dinner!

**Hold my Pepsi Max**

Roast Chestnuts?
Red Cabbage?
Bread Sauce?
Devils on Horseback?
Whatever Erkkal's talking about (100 piece forzen buffet selection from Iceland I'd assume)

:P

Still your list did include the most important 5, so I'll let you off.

You voted for parsnips? Your votes will therefore be deducted at the end for being wrong.

Stuffing, pigs in blankets (or pigs on horseback as my nana calls them :fp: :lol: ), gravy, Yorkshire puddings and of course roast potatoes are my 5 essentials.

The meats are almost interchangeable if you've got that lot although if pushed I'd say goose is my preferred Christmas meat.

Who the strawberry float isn't voting for gravy?! None of that runny granule gooseberry fool, make it out of the cooking juices from the meats and reduce it down over the day, it's strawberry floating incredible.

You're such a wrong'un.
