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....

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
