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.
