  • It is absolute brass monkeys on the platform this morning, the train is twenty minutes late and the woman next to me is wearing two coats and still shaking.
  • Bring a thicker jacket if you are coming to the match Saturday, the forecast says brass monkeys all day and the away end is fully open to the wind.
  • Forget the pint garden, mate. It's brass monkeys out there and I'm not losing feeling in my ears for lager.
