  1. In support of this theory I would like to remind people that winter 05/06 (or 06/07 - can't remember which) Japan and parts of the far east at similar latitude had the coldest & certainly the snowiest winter for nearly a century. Arctic ice was more prominent on the opposite side of the globe to us that year, while we bathed in mild rubbish. My point is, who's to say the sypnosis cannot be reversed this year providing the ice build/ pattern continues as it is at present, plunging NW Europe into a deep freeze with record snowfall.

    All in the name of speculation of course.

    Here we are - it was winter 05/06. A couple of links related to the heavy falls of that winter in Japan:

    Hello big bear - I like your photograph! You had better get 'er indoors to knit some thick wooly gloves if we are going to get all that snow! Meanwhile, I am looking at two greenhouses full of green tomatoes, peppers and chillies waiting for some 'B' sun! Sure

    ly, there won't be any moisture left to fall as snow later! Kind regards Big Bear so glad you are still about.

  2. I remember a work colleague scoffing when I used to buy the Express.

    Needless to say I haven't bought it in years.....I buy the Sun, much more reliable. :wallbash:

    Reliable source of semi naked tottie and civil engineering vacancies only though! Oh, I forgot, an easy crossword too! Both the Express and Daily Mail are really only magazines now - the Telegraph (but too big I would prefer if it went tabloid) and Times are better I think anyway.
  3. :) I think somebody got it right - Physalis - chinese lanterns because you can see the seed head forming. I would be very interesting in seeing how the seed heads develop - the common ones (which drive us all made by taking over the garden) have boring orange seed heads. Please could you post a picture of the seed head when it ripens later on. Thanks. I will look in my encyclopedia tonight and see if I can identify the strain for you.
