    Yet another cold Winter

    hmm looks like we might be for another corker.

    Britain 'in for another big freeze winter' - Telegraph

    But note this would be just weather, Britain gets warmer every year and mild winters are now the norm, this is just a one off.
    I'm alright Jack

    Wow!! We haven't had one of those since last year!!
    Still, I am sure sasguru will be along shortly to set us straight on these recurring anomalies!

      The "experts" find it difficult enough to predict weather two days ahead. Still, better safe than sorry, I'm going to dig out my hot water bottle, scarf, blanket and slippers. Something to keep me warm as I listen to a radio of a winters' night..
      Oh, I may invest in a few bottles of hot toddy too.

        I think the clue is in the 'global' part of global warming.

          Would this be those same experts who predicted a roasting hot summer instead of the pile of cack we got.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            If we have more cold winters across large parts of the world, people will use their heating more, resulting in huge increases in CO2, which will raise the global temperature even more.

            I suggest a new tax on central heating systems to be applied during the winter months to offset this effect.

              Why don't people get tax breaks and subsidies for buying thermal clothing as they do with cavity wall insulation? Or a free hat as with loft insulation? Then turn their heating off. Much cheaper.

                My solution would be to remove the winter heating allowance from people over a certain age...........say 60 for example. THAT ought to save a few bob, and will also result in a lot less crinklies clogging up Doctor's surgery when you want to get attention.
                As long as it is fair.
