winter clothing keeping the chap happy
back in feb this year i started to road ride in slightly colder weather here in the uk
i had on bib thermals on and pair of normal lycra shorts over the top on colder days.
but i seeming couldn't keep little nos and the twins happy and warm, are there padless shorts i can purchase to go over my thermals to deflect the cold wind flow around there?

My hiking pants and MTB shorts made of nylon do just that. No wind go through. My MTB short is from Louis Garneau and comes with removable pads.

Medium weight wool tights and wind pants work well for me. Plus mt bike shorts.

Not sure of the temps around UK; but here in the northern part of the US -
I wear thermal bib pants under a windproof/snowproof pants when it gets below freezing:

You'll have a hard time keeping the nose cold and overcoming the following issues:
Ventilation for breathing.
Condensation buildup on the inside of whatever mask/cover you use.
I would start out with a balaclava pulled up over the nose just to quickly get used to the cold but I had it pulled down by the end of the block.

boxer briefs (wool or synth), long underwear over those, some pants and then some wind/rain-proof pants over that and I'm good well below 0°

How cold does it get in the UK?
I've ridden down to -15F and never noticed that area getting unusually cold. At least not any colder than the rest of me. I wear my usual shorts down to about 35F, then add sweat pants below that temp. Below 10F I add a layer of thermal underwear, but mostly for my legs.
Even in extremely cold temps my shorts are soaked with sweat after a ride.
