Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

I've just finished watching series 2 (again), and noticed that when the lads go to the beach where they're harangued by reporters, in spite of the heat, Oz is wearing his big brown jacket. He does take it off later on, like.

Also, in series 3, when the lads are in Arizona, he's wearing a zip-up fleece. It can't be very cold there in the desert, in the middle of the day.

Maybe he didn't have his vest on?

I always thought the leather jacket on the beach thing was meant to be playing on the old 1970s stereotype of Brits in Spain lying on the beach in all their clothes.

The fleece one in Arizona is weird though. He couldn't have been doing much graft.

Most Geordies seem to have a coat of iron skin when it comes to cold weather though. Many's the time I've seen groups of them in London for a match in the harshest of winters walking around in t-shirts. Hard as nails that lot.

Warming his backside on the heater in the Russian house they restored ( before it blew up) Yes is the answer!
