Oh the weather outside is frightful,

But the fire is so delightful,

And since we've no place to go,


All together now...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions!


It doesn't show signs of stopping,

And I've bought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low,


Everyone...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions!


When we finally kiss goodnight,

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight,

All the way home I'll be warm.


The fire is slowly dying,

And, my dear, we're still good-bying,

But as long as you love me so,


Come now...BIIIIG finish...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adveweeeeerse Weeeeeeaaaaather Conddddiiiiitiiiiooooons!

Good King Wenceslas looked out

On the feast of Stephen

When the adverse weather conditions lay round about

Deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night

Though the (adverse) weather conditons were cruel

When a poor man came in sight

Gath'ring winter fuel


"Hither, page, and stand by me

If thou know'st it, telling

Yonder peasant, who is he?

Where and what his dwelling?"

"Sire, he lives a good league hence

Underneath the mountain

Right against the forest fence

By Saint Agnes' fountain."


"Bring me flesh and bring me wine

Bring me pine logs hither

Thou and I will see him dine

When we bear him thither."

Page and monarch forth they went

Forth they went together

Through the cold winds wild lament

And the adverse weather (conditions).


"Sire, the night is darker now

And the wind blows stronger

Fails my heart, I know not how,

I can go no longer."

"Mark my footsteps, my good page

Tread thou in them boldly

Thou shalt find the winter's rage

Freeze thy blood less coldly."


In his master's steps he trod

Where the adverse (weather) conditions lay dinted

Heat was in the very sod

Which the Saint had printed

Therefore, Christian men, be sure

Wealth or rank possessing

Ye who now will bless the poor

Shall yourselves find blessed.


PS I'm singing along ...

In the bleak latter part of the year

Unseasonal Siberian winds made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Adverse weather conditions had fallen, adverse weather conditions on adverse weather conditions,

Adverse weather conditions on adverse weather conditions,

In the bleak latter part of the year,

Long ago.

Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Is a fairytale they say

He was made of Adverse Weather Conditions

But the children know

How he came to life one day


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying don't you cry

I'll be back again some day


Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go


Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of Adverse Weather Conditions

I saw three trains come chugging in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

I saw three trains come chugging in

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And what was in those trains all three,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?

And what was in those trains all three,

On Christmas Day in the morning?


A tramp, some cans and the Metro were there,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

A tramp, some cans and the Metro were there,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


Pray, wither chugged those trains all three?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Pray, wither chugged those trains all three?

On Christmas Day in the morning?


O they chugged their way into London Bridge,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

O they chugged their way into London Bridge,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And all the bells in ED shall ring,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And all the bells in ED shall ring,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And why should the bells in ED all ring?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And why should the bells in ED all ring?

On Christmas Day in the morning.


Coz they're aint gonna be any sodding trains,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Coz they're aint gonna be any sodding trains,

On Christmas or any damn bleeding day!


So may as well just get used to it,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

So may as well just get used to it,

And simply rejoice: Happy Christmas Day.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
