You know where my roots are, John. With the announced temps and the heavy wind its gonna be hard to make a decent barbecue for a while in your neiborhood! The landscape, red bricks houses reminds one of Brel's song "Le plat pays qui est le mien".

There's no wind this morning, just cold & sunny. At least I should not have to break into my car when I go out shortly. A couple of times this week the door seals have been frozen. ...and funnily enough we were planning a BBQ last night, but not just yet! It's to be a charity event in the summer. |

Not a regular on here, but I’m sure with us in spirit- it’s young Mr Turner’s birthday today. (Kevin, alias krt917, Autosport editor and son of our John T..)
Happy birthday Kevin! |

Please allow me to join for the birthday, his English is so perfect that I can understand almost every word. Not mentioning the huge knowledge.
Happy birthday and thank you for the comments. |

The BBC has contracted Meteo to provide the daily forecasts, but I think that it was purely due to The Met Office asking for more money than Meteo at contract renewal time. However, all weather warnings will continue to be issued to the BBC by The Met Office, not by Meteo. Whether (pun intended) that is because The Met Office are more accurate has not been explained! |

So Meteo will give good news and the Met Office bad news? |

The new BBC weather website pages clearly state that it's the BBC Weather in association with Meteo, whilst the warnings are clearly marked as being issued by The Met Office. You couldn't make it up! I am becoming more convinced that the "satirical" programme on the BBC called W1A is actually a fly on the wall documentary! |

Surely it's only Norfolk Meteo that matters? A piece of seaweed and a stone.

Few years ago the local university offered farmers an internet weather service. May still do. Some of my acquaintance found it unreliable and changed to using RAF or Civil aircraft information, as suggested many posts ago...... |

So why did our regional train operator cancel several routes before we’d even had any snow? The cynic in me thinks there must be some financial incentive for them to do so, rather than it being a case of looking after customers best interests!
Mercedes have announced that there will be a ‘hot’ version of the next generation A Class designated ‘A35’..... Perhaps there’s no one at Merc who remembers what an A35 actually is / was...... |

I think the Austin brand is owned by the Chinese SAIC group which owns MG and I believe Rover and Wolseley.
BMW own Triumph (new Stag anyone) and of course Mini. Last edited by gary396; 27 Feb 2018 at 13:29. Reason: Add info |
