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.

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
