Out of everyone's responses, this made the most sense to me i suppose it explains why I go to bed with just a sheet on but by morning I'm looking for a quilt too. I suppose in winter it's already cold from the chilly nights, so the days don't really "warm up" like they do in summer.

You even see this in the evening weather reports on TV.
Are they a precious folk? If we did that in Australia people would die of shock
