Record weather
They keep banging on about record weather and it is unseasonally mild with average temperatures around 15 degree C.
Question is why are the roads damp all day when it's warm and not rained it's weird ?
If it was spring and 15 degrees C the roads would be bone dry.

Re: Record weather
Road salt. The roads have been gritted. The chemical crap in the salt does something with the moisture and effectively retains it.

Re: Record weather
I really do wonder if road salt is effective. They don't use it in France and I don't see too many issues and cars last a lot longer as they don't rust away...

My lad is wearing shorts and a T-shirt, playing in the garden with his mate.
I don't think my heating came on last night.

Only problem is I'm not sure the missus is willing to stand in the corner until the new year

Very lovely indeed Blade.Blade wrote:It adds more sunshine into your life was my thinking
However you really should invest in some LED Christmas lights & bin those crappy filament ones.: As well as using less electric you will never have to mess around with blown bulbs & most importantly they are far safer (creating almost no heat/fire risk) so will not burn the lovely Mrs Blade.!
