I wear a henley under a sweatshirt under a quilted flannel under one of my to-the-mid-calf wool overcoats. Fedora on the noggin.
Oh, please - "really cold"? It's hardly ever really cold on this island. The minimum temperature near me the night before last was -5C. Those who have visited (or lived in) some parts of the Continent, including Scandinavia, may have experienced -25C, as do many of the North American majority on these fora.Yes, really cold today. But it will getting warmer in next few days. Finally don't need 4 layers...
Ask anyone who's been forced outdoors to smoke a cig: -5°C *is* really cold
We hear this view a lot here in UK. Of course, -5°C isn't as cold as an even colder temperature in THE COLDEST PLACES ON EARTH, but it's cold enough!
Also, in context, 6°C one day and a minus temperature a day or so later is quite a swing. I think even Canadians might complain about that. And in some areas of these islands you only have to travel an hour or so - or less - to be in a completely different temperature zone.

I can answer to that :-D
And I largely prefer -5°C with low humidity than 5°C with humidity. For me, this is the key. I'm not very sensitive to cold, but as soon as it's getting more or less cold and the air dampens, then it's hell for me.
Going by our weather forecast for tomorrow I'll be going from N-3A (today) to L-2A. Hotter than Corfu is what's being predicted.
Not very cold but a bit crazy here today. 9 Degree celcius in the morning rising to 20 in the afternoon then drop back to 12. Wearing A-2 with a hoodie.
