Yes, I wore shorts at school in Scotland until I was seventeen. We froze! We have a picture of me glaring at the Duke of Edinburgh during an inspection of the school scout troop. We'd been standing for a couple of hours in driving sleet, and my jaw was too frozen to raise an appropriate smile! The theory was that it toughened us up! I suspect it's simply given me varicose veins in later life!
