Global warming is here

Time to go to the beach.

(nevermind that history did not begin in 1880, don't question the consensus).

That's what I thought. This afternoon, I decided to fill some gaps between paving slabs with mortar. No sooner had I finished than it started to rain.

True. We are a rainy and well watered country, yet we seem to regularly suffer from droughts and water shortages.

Despite advances in technology, leaves falling on our railway lines cause trains to grind to a halt.

Then when it snows, our roads are impassable.

Can we get anything right?

This leaf business came about from building lighter trains, makes sense for energy efficiency, but the old clunkers would roll straight over leaf matter.
Solve one problem, create another one

Kinda makes you wonder why people like yourself bother living in the UK.

Your incessant whining would put old Vic Meldrew to shame yet you choose to live in a country that you seem to vehemently dislike.

Trés odd?

Believe it or not, I used to be proud to be British. Now, this country is not the country I once knew.

Yes, there is still much that I still like about it, but I believe the writing is on the wall. If I were younger, or if I had any children, I would certainly be off to better climes.

But isn't this a discussion forum? If there are things that need complaining about, shouldn't we complain about them? Or perhaps we should just keep quiet like good little plebs and accept the inevitable.

You forgot the wobbly railway lines when the sun comes out.

Really? I didn't know about them. I almost never travel by train.

 

[Brigadier]

When it gets really hot, the rails expand lengthways, and buckle.

Oh, and BTW Aron, you've done it now - it's persisting down!

Still, it's "good for the garden!"

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Please would you all shut the door on your way out!

You have to admit the rains fairly warm this morning though freddy.
