          Greetings, Alain.

          When 'We' say - "it will be twenty below" - 20 below zero is assumed.

          Somewhat akin to if you were to utter:

          'Be sure to bring a torch' we would not comprehend that you meant:

          A Flashlight.

                My father referred to a torch with a lens as a flashlight.

                    On a related issue, I remember a BBC weatherman remarking upon the time/date 2002 20.02.2002 as being the last time this would ever happen. But what about 2112 21.12.2112?
