Panic over, 2 hours since the last deluge and a definite risk that United Utilities would be applying for a hosepipe ban but it’s peeeing down again now.

Its stayed dry all day here but to expected on the costa de Cumbria
Not been so clever here all week and tomorrow’s looking crap.
role on the days when it’s cold enough for snow then at least it’ll be bone dry.
-
A bit of afternoon sun between deluges made this one of the better days of the week but after the vile crap of the last 6 or 7 days, the bar wasn’t set that high.
-
Different day but same old light drizzly crap.
Can’t speak for others but up here at least it’s been a complete right off of a weekend.
maybe time to sort the Christmas decorations out, stick a festive film or two on and dream of snow.

Lol 66 been a nightmare getting into manchester lately with roadworks I'm there 2 times a week on average
Occasionally my missus goes that way to work rather than the usual Rochdale way and it can often take her an hour to do a 16 mile journey.
a bloody stage coach could have done that journey in less time.

Its nice around there ,good links to the city
Aye from here it’s downhill all the way, even the stream at the bottom of my garden ends up in Manchester.
Just a shame I can’t go by canoe as the M66 is a nightmare most of the time.

Must admit I was lucky to get it ie family owned and a private sale ,highly desirable anywhere in UK now
Being only 20 miles from Manchester and up in the hills, most around here were bought by the “a place in the country” set long before the programme ever started although in fairness, some have been turned into beautiful looking homes.

Just now, Mokidugway said:
Its near ulverston an old farm house with house attached now joined an anexe and random buildings I've spent close to 200 k on renovation been graft but nearly there now
Sounds nice and a decent part of the world.
i always fancied getting hold of an old farm property and doing it up but but most have been snapped up around these parts and what’s left go for an absolute fortune now.

Its mad the prices of property bought mine in 2006 for 200 k pretty derelict spent a lot on it probs 800 k now easy money the passing of time ,lol
It must be a decent place mate.
We’re not in that league by a long way but the house we bought 23 years ago for 40k is now paid off so whatever it’s worth is now all ours.
also it’s hopefully got the added retirement bonus of a back garden big enough to stick a decent size property on.

Agreed my daughter livers in Chorlton they've bought their first house at an eye watering 350 k
Our first one was £13500, only a 2 bed terrace and it was in 1985 but for about 4K more we could have had a 3 bed semi.
how times have changed although we did sell it less than 4 years later for almost 30k so looking back we must have bought just at the right time.

Ha , I see ,I was lucky and sent mine to uni only one daughter and 4 son's, lol
Oh she’s done the uni bit, graduated and is well into her career now but I don’t blame her for not rushing into her own place.
i wouldn’t like to start on the property ladder with prices like they are now

I live with one ,more than enough ps are you a Mormon ??
Thought I could have worded that a bit better.
Ones enough for me as well, the other one keeps threatening to get a place of her own but knows that there’s a big difference between paying a bit of board and a lot of mortgage.

Worst ofwindpassed ,heavy snow showers
Aye full blizzard conditions here.
sorry wrong thread, that one was waiting for when the Daily Express worst winter for a gazillion years headline finally comes true.
damp, breezy and pretty mild is the one I should have used.

Just seen a gritter but as per usual around these parts it had plenty of flashing lights on the front but nothing coming out of the rear.
it is a bit on the coolish side though so I suppose it’s the thought that counts.

5 hours ago, Deep Snow please said:
Any chance of finding sanity in here? Model thread clutching at straws that don't exist to taunt me?
Going to get milder really, that's about it?
Sorry but the best on offer is another 4 months of members trying to pick out the model with even the slightest indication of something white and selling it like the next 1963 is on its way.
its winter but the only sure thing is that the dark nights are longer, the light days shorter and the rain is just as wet but colder.
We’ll just have to grin and bare it.
