What’s the most common conversation topic you’ll have with let’s say, your granny? The weather we hear you say. It turns out 62 percent of us begin talking about the weather as an awkward conversation starter. Let’s face it, this will never phase out. It’s too instilled in the Irish culture. Expect plenty more news regarding the weather.
Sixty-two percent of us also think others are ‘ok or good’ at dressing for Irish weather, while 38 percent believe we’re terrible. In fairness it will probably be winter again tomorrow so is there really much point in investing in heaps of summer clothing? We think not. Although on a day like today, we were glad to have that light-weight breezy ensemble to pop on.
What embarrasses us most during summer? Sweat patches it seems. Perhaps veer away from light grey clothing. Many have learned that the hard way at the gym when it is as obvious as. Second position in the most embarrassing summer faux pas was getting burned. Well we know how to take precautions there. Hairy legs and arm-pits bothered 21 percent of us – we feel your pain. It’s such an effort, while 7 percent feared being caught naked or topless.

Although we might be doing more travelling than we’d expect in an attempt to find the sunshine. They also found that we’re a jealous bunch who don’t like hearing it’s warmer elsewhere, as 45 percent of us become more agitated and disappointed by the heart-breaking news. This does sound rather familiar.
