Cold? this is nothing compared to some of the places I have lived in!


Not even any snow in London any more. Last time I remember any snow worth mentioning in the smoke was sitting on the bus home bringing home a Sega Megadrive on the weekend after working on its UK launch..Back in those days it would take easily an hour and a half from Regents ST to Goose Green.

paper knickers,paper knickers what a bloody luxury we didnt even have those. it got that cold on my 25 mile walk to school in 15 ft snow drifts,that my winkle used to constrict into my colon to keep warm.

Sigh


I miss Snow at Christmas, can everyone please stop using electricity, gas, cars and public transport (and anything else that may contribute to London being warm) between now and next Christmas so that we get snow on Christmas day


Where has all the christmas magic gone ?? No more Morecombe and Wise specials, Not even one showing of The Wizard of Oz and shock and horror the only snow I have seen was on Dr Who (did they really kill Kylie off - if so I have 2 now defunct tickets for her in the summer) - also don't remember even seeing White Christmas (dear old Bing) this year...


I miss the old fashioned White Christmas, just like the ones I used to know....

    • I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is? 
    • We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
