When it snows everything stops
when it rains everything floods
when it's windy evrything collapses
when it's sunny there's no water.
great country to live in innit
                                                                                                                                                                             

why it is called great britain....                                                                                                                                                                             

One of the owd farmers says not been snow like this here since 1963                                                                                                                                                                             

i commute from dudley to other side of brum where you ve had hardly any snow at all                                                                                                                                                                              

Thats cus we exported it to dudley lol                                                                                                                                                                              

The weather peeps and all the dogooders go on about saving the world and keep rattling on about GLOBAL WARMING me thinks they are lying.                                                                                                                                                                               

This is not what we want to hear/read, we have camps to attend and rides to be completed.....                                                                                                                                                                             

Global Warming? This is a very misleading term because it implies the world is warming up! The words should be CLIMATE CHANGE which is a bit nearer the truth and for us it means wetter summers, flooding, unseasonal snow....but deffo not warmer summers! This latest snow, here at least, seems to be a once in 50 year event. But then we have heard the same thing regarding serious flooding in other parts of the UK.......every year for the past 5-6!!! I drove over the hills yesterday for a look, and i was brought up in the Pennines nr Saddleworth....but i have NEVER seen snow like this it is upwards of 12 feet deep at the side of the road its like driving thru a tunnel.   I'll shut up now coz im starting to sound like a dogooder! But the facts speak for themselves so feel free to bury your heads and deny its happening.   id settle for a heatwave tho!                                                                                                                                                                             

A heatwave over snow and cold every time Deb,s.
lived in Cyprus a while and was so healthy, well and constantly felt amazing health wise, even when working 6 days a week doing 13 hour shifts.
The cold just leaves me tired, not wanting to do anything but curl up and sleep!

the heat does that to me Allison!  but THIS cold isnt much fun either would settle for 70 degrees and sunshine

  When I lived in Gibraltar (for 2 and half yrs) we had constant hot weather for months on end and often wished it would rain just to cool us down lol    We Brits ar never satisfied eh?   One thing I do miss about Gib', apart from the sunshine (it's heat I can't cope with) was being able to go out in the evening without the need of a warm coat or brolly.                                                                                                                                                                                 

Ok Deb, looks like you and I are packing up and off to live somewhere warmer!!
The heat wasn't a problem to me in Cyprus, even with mega temperatures in mid August.
So where's it to be.... ( well we can dream a little while snuggled under our quilts)!!! Lol

hmmmm difficult one Allison lol ........halfway up a mountain on the equator i reckon! constant temperature all year round but just not too warm!
