I'm from Brissie - so I tell them that Melbourne isn't hot compared to Brissie. Given I wear jumpers through summer down here, they sorta believe me.

Either that or "thank goodness I've had a chance to thaw out".

As for the "hot enough for you" comments? Only once have I said "yes" - and the rest of the time I snuggled into my blankie (albeit a summer one) during the Brissie summers.
