   South Africa in my case, I believe Peter is in Queensland.   
      
   I'll add that one thing I've noticed is that people tend to dress for   
   the season that has passed rather than the one they were in.   
      
   One year I travelled to Europe in late April. I had just got out my   
   tracksuit top because it was late autumn and beginning to get chilly.   
   I landed in Bulgaria, and wore it there in their spring time, and felt   
   underdressed -- everyone else was wearing heavy overcoats and the   
   like.
