Winter Pees.

I always pee a lot in cold spells. Why ?

How do eskimos handle it ?

>>> How do eskimos handle it ?

With gloves, probably ;-)

[albaqwerty]

can't find the thread, but Pixie said it was to do with the size of the bladder responding to the temperature.

I presume the Innuits must pee freely.

[emmie]

its a flippin nuisance i know that...

Look up - Cold-induced diuresis.

Chico....lol !

It's very simple. In warmer temperatures you sweat more out. It doesn't show, but it happens.

Winter is colder so you can't sweat, and have to get rid of the only way you can.

and why does filling the kettle make me cross my legs?

[Old_Geezer]

Something to do with water removal from the blood. Read about it recently but I've a memory like a sieve.

[emmie]

i have only to wash up, fill the kettle, and i have to pop to the loo, its very very annoying.

Chris, I thought you might be first with the answer I was expecting !

Misread the title. Thought it referred to a particular type of seasonal legumes.

Thanks, everyone.

Have a great Christmas.

Cheers.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Maybe all the hot drinks that are consumed in winter? Keeping my back warm by wearing a long clingy t-shirt tucked into voluminous pant under my jumper. If I get a cold back I can go for gold in the peeing Olympics.
