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 was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind  
    • Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.
    • Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.
    • Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...
