favorite hats.

But what about the one in ten who skulk around in balaclavas – are they hoping someone won’t recognise them? Perhaps the most worrying of all are the one in ten who claim that a swimming hat is their all-time
favorite head gear. We hope that they are not wearing them out of the pool.

favorite. A brave 21% venture out into icy weather with no hat to stop the warmth from escaping – think of all the cups of tea that lost heat could make.
Over 20,000 older people across the country die during the winter months, which is why people across the country
