Yes I think you are all panicing for nothing.You may find that a big concern going pop in spain is completely diferent than a big firm going pop in the uk.

Hi All,

Is there anybody online in CE this morning? All of us back in the good ole UK need cheering up a bit this morning. Anybody on the East side of the country from the highlands to Kent woke up this morning to snow falling quite heavily and in some places sticking. In MK it has all but gone now but everywhere is dank wet and cold. So here is my request tell us how bright and sunny it is there and if possible post a picie take one with your phone, webcam anything but cheer us up till we get there again in May.

Regards,

John.

Cold and windy here, but still sunny for a couple of days.

I like to see a bit of snow. Do many people live out there in costa esuri or are they nearly all holiday homers?

I think lablelling them all 'homers' was a bit strong. Couldn't we just have used "extremely content" or "alternative lifestyle enjoyers" or at a push, "Glibly Avoiding Youth"????

So do I, the sharp cold stuff you can ski or drive on top of with dry temps below 0* the trouble with most of UK it is here today gone tommorrow and leaves a horrible mess behind.
