        Gas companies have already sent out advance notice of a huge increase in prices commencing 1 October, and how very, very sorry they are and how 'bad' the timing is. Fook 'em, buy warm clothes and refuse to buy Russian gas or French electricity.

          Or build a sewage recycling plant on one of your acres. Use the natural gas created and be self sufficient.

            I understand this is a consequence of the gulf oil spill.

              Not wishing to sound like a poo pooer but read this

              The four coldest winters of the last century were, in order of chilliness: 1963, 1947, 1940 and 1979. But it is 63 and 47 that remain the benchmarks for seasonal suffering.
              So when I cast my eye over your little graph I see that these dates do not tally, so I conclude La Nina has no direct correlation to the type of winter we have.

                I think weather forecasters have made it abundantly clear over the years that no simple correlation between the weather for a season as predicted by them in advance and the weather actually experienced exists.

                  So prolonged Indian summer if previous predictions are anything to go by?

                    But who is making those warm clothes? Personally I like Scottish wooly scarfs
