Sorry I was being typically British and insular and arrogant. I
meant Celsius - I kind of assumed everyone knew exactly what I was
talking about anyway -which is another typical brit fault.
FYI I have endured some extreme climate conditions in Russia where I
learnt from experience that -40C and -40F are the same. Bloody
freezing.
In Russia people simply ask in winter "How many degrees?" - "Skol'ko
gradus?" - meaning how many degrees of frost.

Enjoying a somewhat balmy November day off work.
