    Since I live in Basingstoke, I now have exact visualisations of James Acaster asleep in a bush in a red dress by the train station. I will now think that every time I am at the station now.

      It made me look it up with Google Maps and found the spot where the taxis are waiting for customers with a bush close by which I assume was the one he was referring to.... so funny when he says 'gentrified' in response yo David Mitchel's question were the leafs 'variegated?' James is so funny the way he brings his story...

    Fun fact: a dismembered body in a bag was actually found at Basingstoke train station a few years ago. The murderer was a depressed Buddhist monk. He was working at a hotel in the town and killed one of his work colleagues.

      For sure, only in the case of frozen ground might the bench be warmer, although wind/precipitation levels matter a lot.

      not necessarily. you lose a lot more heat to the ground than the air

    • @zeytelaloi
      @zeytelaloi 3 місяці тому +3

      The worst thing you can do is lie straight on the ground with nothing in between you and the ground. The Earth and your body will move into a type of thermal equilibrium. The best thing you can do is separate yourself from the ground, so the heat transfer is slowed down.
      A bench exposed to the wind might be worse compared to sitting in a bush in your t-shirt, but in other cases the bench would've been better.

    I did too, almost. Missed a train connection so just stayed the night outside Basingstoke station. I wasn't in a dress, mind you. And I was on the other side of the station, ended up just leant up against the wall of the station. Less hoodlums that side too. No idea why this other fella wants a bench so badly! That's the opposite of shelter.

    the bush-bench debate is interesting. I actually think the bench would be warmer, as you lose so much of your body heat to the ground. If you could use some kind of air mattress in the bush, that would be the warmest. If not, a bench that's not in direct gale-force winds would probably be better.

    • @CT2507

      However, a bush would almost certainly be warmer due to the lack of wind. One thing James says is that the bush was roomy though, which is also bad for heat preservation.
