Newcastle-under-Lyme visitor baffled by people wearing T-shirts during freeze

“I refuse to believe that every single one of them was wearing a ‘beer jacket’ which is a term I’ve just learnt,” she laughed.

Online responders had also told her to “toughen up“ and that thermals were not necessary for last week’s wintery weather.

Despite not joining in with the common dress code, Ms Lowgren did embrace the local delicacies and told BBC Radio Stoke, external she looked forward to revisiting.

“Oatcakes slap – they’re really good,” she exclaimed, “I have no idea how I’m going to have those back at home but they were definitely one of the highlights.”

The game developer from Melbourne was visiting a friend of 10 years that she met whilst living in Tokyo, and she left impressed by his hometown.

“I really enjoyed my time in Newcastle-under-Lyme.”
