    More sensationalist tosh .

    So it's going to be wet and windy on Boxing Day? I would have never have guessed that in a million years.

    My Christmas Day is forecast to be hot quenched only by copious amounts of SML

    I can predict the same for New Year's Eve also

    Yes hot and sweaty New Year's Eve for me too, I hope. Rooftop terrace drinking a cool SML - followed by a cup of tea - while looking at the building site. I had better take my miner's lantern to get around the site.

    Anyone who has the temerity to brag about lounging around in the Philippines while drinking BEER should have their forum memberships revoked with immediate effect.

    Inconsiderate swines.

    Looks like the idiots have stopped using "Weather Bomb" for the present severe period I've only read or heard it once (BBC predictably)

    I see the Express are implementing their usual winter tactic of exaggerating the weather on the front page.
