  1. Times past use to hop into my mini with some mates and see if we could get stuck. Mini had a sump guard so it use to slide over most things. Unfortunately I don’t feel the same being in my 70’s as I did in my late teens. Regrettably become a sad old fart is not much fun.
  2. You might be right but as Foulness is as flat as a pancake, out on the marshes I am not sure where it could achieve such a depth.
  3. Been brilliant today in my greenhouse. Over 70°c in the sun. Been trying to sort out all my stock plants so hopefully they will survive, without costing me a fortune in heating.
  4. Seems fair enough. I am happy being in either thread but it is nice to come to this one for a bit if light relief.
  5. I’ve been wrapping up some of the more delicate shrubs. Getting the solid fuel ready if we have a fire. Even dubbined my rigger boots.
  6. Assume you mean Weald Park, which is is good. In the past skated on the lakes. Danbury good for tobogganing. Use to skate at night on Danbury Park lake. Had Tilly lamps on the ice and skated round them. The poor old ducks use to waddle over to see what was happening. I am sure health and safety has put a stop to all that simple fun.
  7. But remember a warning of any sort sometimes does not occur in practice. It is a considered guesstimate of what might happen (or not)
  8. Be sad to see you go if you can’t stand the pressure. It is only a bit of weather after all.
  9. Oh for goodness sake grow up. We will get what the weather Gods want us to have.
  10. Recall when I was young when we drove down to Dover there use to be snow fences to the east side of the road as snowfall driven by eastily winds use to regularly cause a problem with drifts.
  11. Yes they seem quite slow indicating rain on occasions. Mind you generally they are fairly right.
  12. Some incredibly long slides on the playground. No health and safety to worry about. Just get on and do what kids want to do. The odd broken bone but that was more of a lesson than being wrapped in cotton wool.
  13. Those who rode a bike got sent home first. My trip about 5 miles that went across Chelmsford.
  14. And no internet. How was it possible for the population of the UK to survive? One of life’s little mysteries?
  15. I was 16. It was blooming cold. Just think few had central heating, double glazing & insulation to roof and walls. So cold in your bedroom that ice completely obscured the view out of the window. You got dressed under the bed clothes. Think we a have all become somewhat softer.
  16. 62/63 was memorable. Rode my bike on the river ice down into Chelmsford.
  17. Please would you be kind enough to indicate where you are. Go to top of page. Click on your name, then on your profile then edit profile. Don’t have to put your exact location unless you want to.
