    I've said the same, Christmas is pushed at you from October onwards by the Supermarkets, and come end of trading on Christmas eve, they are tearing down the decorations. It just underlines what a over commercialised money making racket the whole things become. Stuff they would have charged you full whack for 3 days ago, they'll virtually give you today because they want rid of it to make way for the Easter eggs.

    Cloudy, and wet here this morning. Went shopping, and was glad to get home. It might have been 13 degrees, but I'd have swapped that for 3 degrees, and sunny any day of the week.

    Tend to agree, at nearly 64 years old I can count the number of white Christmases on the fingers of one hand, and severe /memerable winters on two That must tell you something.

    Welcome back Pete, thought you'd gone a bit quiet lately

    Must admit I don't comment in there, I don't really know enough about it to make any meaningful contributions. However there are some really knowledgeable people in there, and I take my hat off to them. But after being in here for the best part of 10 years, even I know that when models such as that are being wheeled out things are looking pretty c,,p A week or two of dryish weather would do me fine, cold, or warm, I'm not fussed.

    Another day, and yet more wind and rain. It's about as much use as a plasticine walking stick.

    Boxing Day 1970, we had about 6 inches of snow. New Years Eve 1978 was a cracker. A howling E/NE wind blowing a blizzard.

    Not too bothered about snow, just want it to dry up for a bit ,cold and seasonal would be nice, but as it is , I think I'd take anything at the moment.

    Cold and sunny for me , I just completely detest the rain , we get more than our fair share of the rubbish down here in Somerset.

    In precisely 2 years time, I shall be approaching my 66th birthday, H M G will then condecend to let me have the old age pension that I've paid into for 50 years, and I shan't have to worry about trying to earn a living outdoors in this sh,,,, te climate any longer.

    If the next slide shows him kicking the office cat, we'll know we're on to a winner.

    I could provide a more colourful description of it. Trouble is, the swear filter would probably go into overdrive, and I would be banned for life

    Another day, and yet another dose of nope - still swearingin rain, it really is starting to become tedious now.

    Chance would be a fine thing, It refers to the winter which I had the pleasure of freezing my bo.....cks off in as a Bricklayers Apprentice.

    We're all different, I can remember having to wear them to Primary School in the mid 60's Winter , and Summer . My legs used to be bl....dy freezing cold . Put me off them for life , it has to be roasting for me to get into a pair. Saying that, I've spent most of my 47 years of working life in the Building Trade,so you could say I'm pretty hardened to it now

    All very subjective ,when you hit 63, and take blood thinners, 8 degrees can feel a tad nippy. As for shorts, not a chance.

    After suffering rainfall of biblical proportions, should we get by some miracle , a few dry months next year. I hope to God we don't have to listen to some clown droning on about water shortages.

    I'm glad mine are grown up, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of common sense coming out of the mouths of some of these teachers these days. I can remember taking my two out of school for a holiday in the mid 90s for example, nobody batted an eyelid.

    No, I suffer with it as well, Low pressure equals misery in that respect.

    Just listened to Ian Fergusson on our local weather. He's made up my mind , dentist is being cancelled for Thursday .

    Must admit that this poxy rain is seriously starting to hack me off now, not just regarding work, but generally.
  23. 78/79
    Same here, I'm currently just burning odds, and ends. I reckon I've gathered enough to keep us going until after Christmas. If we get a few dry days, I'll probably get out and about in the van and see what's about. A full load on top will probably see us through. Got some Hawthorn that I'm keeping back for when it gets colder.

    We were building some houses at the time. I can remember it being so cold that diesel froze in the tanks of the firms 7.5 ton lorries. The coldest I have ever been was in early Jan 82,we were working near Bristol, and could only stand it for about half an hour at a time, and then we had to go inside and warm up.

    Woodburner has been lit for the last 4 evenings . Got a half load of logs in this afternoon to go with what I already had got up together myself. Got about 1.7 cubic metres now,should keep us going until just after Christmas. Might be able to top it up with a few fallen ash limbs from the side of the road , and left overs from Ash die back cutting .
