Tell a British person that it was cold when you woke up, and they will tell you it was even colder when they were up even earlier than you.
โIt was chilly waiting for my train at 6amโ
โIt was even colder on my run at 5amโ
โWell it was absolutely freezing when I was walking the dogs around 4.30amโ
โOkay but it was baltic when I was feeding the chickens at 3.45amโ
โYou should have felt it at 2.50am when I was up sweeping the drivewayโ
