Capt W... PLEASE don't tell the whole world (especially places such as Norway and Canada) how Britain falls to pieces with a fine sprinkling of snow- especially since so many other countries get 10ft drifts and still get the trains running in the morning.

And it's all melted here now  ;D ;D ;D so we can soon look forward to everyone complaining about how hot it is!  :doh:

I know what a beach is...  ;D

Round here it is a bit of shingle... lots of stones

I can't see how that can freeze... freeze implies turning from a liquid to a solid...

He also stated he walked on the beach because it frozen - I can walk on the beach if it hasn;t...

Google translates:
Yes, the sea was frozen.
no the sand was frozen

Google then entered an unexpected error, and said "no more. pleeeease"

At a new village hall just down the road from me the banister had to be raise about an inch has health and safety said it was too low. And as anyone heard their adverts? 'Heath and Safety dont stop you from doing anything, it just lets you do it safely' What? They stopped people from going up some stairs at this hall...

I dare say Victorian era factory owners said the same thing when acts of parliment ordered such dubious pieces of equipment as safety guards over moving metal parts and that sort of thing.

I know all about H&S as I have a row of folders relating to it... Mostly common sense stuff, but this current government and their legal paymasters mean that I have to document everything and even make such stupid comments as "this company acknowledges its responsibilities to H&S blah blah"... I'm so tempted to bring my sarcasm to it. I mean it is flaming obvious, isn't it? And if it's not, what will a piece of paper change.

Hmmm... Perhaps this forum isn't the right place to discuss how badly this government is ruining running the country.

I mean, there might be people in Rhodesia or Korea who will campaign for our freedom from an oppresive dictatorship...

Well then, with my guiding hands I steer this back O/T...

After weather reporters predicted heavy downfalls of snow, I can safely report that the total depth of the snow here was....



0. And it was nice 'n' sunny too.

Oh dear...

No snow today, thank God!

But my father works up on an industrial estate on Dartmoor, where it's almost ALWAYS covered in snow, so he had a bit lot of trouble getting home.

That's no excuse. Teach yourself.

If nobody turns up to an exam this week, then it still goes ahead.

too much Red Tape if you ask me...
