According to the old faithful http://www.xcweather.co.uk/GB/forecast the north east coast is going to reach 4 degrees but Blackpool area is still going to be sub zero. As you are not allowed to park in most areas of Blackpool without a letter from the Queen Mother or a SPECIAL permit we can walk on the roads, who needs pavements Chick was pouring the water into the drinkers and the spills were freezing as soon as, there is no way we could leave them for four days unless the weather lets up

Please see below a petition to keep the British Forces Post Office from closing.. This means that all free post (under 2kgs) to Afghan will be stopped amongst other things. Below is a quote from Sky News in bold. "When the servicemen and women of our country are fighting and dying for this government's dubious honour, it treats them with the contempt it has shown across the board," he said. "The BFPO has for decades provided a lifeline that is utterly vital in maintaining morale and now they want to cut it. "MPs have granted themselves £7,000 a year postage - but they seem to be happy to put extra costs on service families. How typical, how venal, how vile." http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/SaveBFPO/

I stand corrected :B :B :B

Aye and they get stocked up with fish and chips or am no going :X

Aye for diesel spillages, not sure it would be safe in the loft :-/

They have ski lift cables 200 feet obove the ground for years but the pylons won't be that high it's funny the ones that are doing all the moaning want to get electricity and save the highlands but not the planet :-/

Stereotypical differences between Aussies, Brits, Americans and Candadians Aussies: Believe you should look out for your mates. Brits: Believe that you should look out for those people who belong to your club. Americans: Believe that people should look out for and take care of themselves. Canadians: Believe that that is the government's job. Aussies: Dislike being mistaken for Pommies (Brits) when abroad. Canadians: Are rather indignant about being mistaken for Americans when abroad. Americans: Encourage being mistaken for Canadians when abroad. Brits: Can't possibly be mistaken for anyone else when abroad. Canadians: Endure bitterly cold winters and are proud of it. Brits: Endure oppressively wet and dreary winters and are proud of it. Americans: Don't have to do either, and couldn't care less. Aussies: Don't understand what inclement weather means. Americans: Drink weak, pissy-tasting beer. Canadians: Drink strong, pissy-tasting beer. Brits: Drink warm, beery-tasting p*ss. Aussies: Drink anything with alcohol in it. Americans: Seem to think that poverty and failure are morally suspect. Canadians: Seem to believe that wealth and success are morally suspect. Brits: Seem to believe that wealth, poverty, success, and failure are inherited. Aussies: Seem to think that none of this matters after several beers. Brits: Have produced many great comedians, celebrated by Canadians, ignored by Americans, and therefore not rich. Aussies: Have produced comedians like Paul Hogan and Yahoo Serious. Canadians: Have produced many great comedians such as John Candy, Martin Short, Jim Carrey, Dan Akroyd, and all the rest at SCTV. Americans: Think that these people are American! Americans: Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box. Canadians: Don't, but only because they can't get more American channels. Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch 4 channels. Aussies: Export all their crappy programs, which no one there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them. Americans: Will jabber on incessantly about football, baseball and basketball. Brits: Will jabber on incessantly about cricket, soccer and rugby. Canadians: Will jabber on incessantly about hockey, hockey, hockey, and how they beat the Americans twice, playing baseball. Aussies: Will jabber on incessantly about how they beat the Poms in every sport they played them in. Aussies: Are extremely patriotic about their beer. Americans: Are flag-waving, anthem-singing, and obsessively patriotic to the point of blindness. Canadians: Can't agree on the words to their anthem, in either language, when they can be bothered to sing them. Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem. Brits: Are justifiably proud of the accomplishments of their past citizens. Americans: Are justifiably proud of the accomplishments of their present citizens. Canadians: Prattle on about how some of those great Americans were once Canadian. Aussies: Waffle on about how some of their past citizens were once Outlaw Pommies, but none of that matters after several beers.

Stop laughing Sammy, its no funny

How do you use or administer the iodine???

Well if that is the case Chick can go. I will look after the birds :'( :'( :'(

Could ypou imagine them running a cable unerground across/through the Grampian and Cairngorm mountains Bigda, it would cost zillions :-/

Maybe they are keeping all the salt for oor fish and chips. Do they not have salty sea air to melt it ;D

Aye god knows what Chrissy see in you PAL she must have been well bladdered

I have met a few that never seen the show, they just get bladdered and pick up lonely Scotsmen

Your ass is responsible for a few effects on climate change ;D

The majority of it is going across the Grampian and Cairngorm mountain ranges so I doubt it will do a lot but we are already covered with them in central Scotland

Come on you lot, it wouldn't matter if it was in posh centre, a marque or an Anderson shelter it would be a great W/E. Although Blackpool itself along with The Winter Gardens is needing refurbished because the age of the place and because in the current climate if it were to shut for repairs it would lose a massive amount of money and regular bookings like pigeon shows. There is no other place in the country that could duplicate Blackpool unless you head down to the south coast holiday resorts that close for the winter. Whether they would open again just for the w/e or whether fanciers would travel from Scotland, Ireland or Northern England the same as they do to Blackpool :-/

Looks like I will be going myself then ;D

Maybe it is the ice caps that are floating towards us and causing the adverse weather, we ain't that far away from Iceland, there's wan in the toon centre ;D ;D ;D Britain is a tiny island surrounded by many external elements that make our weather unpredictable, The bigger the land mass the the more you can predict the weather but they are still having freak conditions

Brilliant

Any grain that is taken from a field is at risk of rodents etc being in contact with it and in storage areas as well. You get them caught in the combines and the threshers when you are harvesting. Pre harvest you want to see the rats that come out them when you fire them up :-/

Perfect

In my opinion, your opinion is wrong. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D BLACKPOOL

I heard that works as well :-/

Snowing in Fife earlier this evening
