:p Well, the central area of the U.K. has just had the 2nd mildest winter since records began in 1914, with an average temp of ( in old money ), 41.8 deg F , the south had the warmest, ave. 43.8 deg F , and January was the 2nd warmest since 1914, so what more do you want from winters ? ?:confused:

Re: A Real Scorcher!
Mind you, I suppose it is not as cold as normal for the time of year here. I was doing some gardening over the week-end, and I swear I managed to get down to only 4 layers of clothing! :rofl: :blink:

jonsol, I blame the weather readers on the tv for keeping feeding you conversions from centigrade, you think after 37 years you would have the hang of it by now and use the real temperature. ;-) |
Re: A Real Scorcher!
Yes I agree. Why is it that our currency was decimalised in 1971, but that they didn't change weights, measures and temperatures at the same time.
Now heres a theory that's just occured to me, if they had converted the temperatures at the same time, maybe the temperature would have risen like inflation did then :unsure: Does anyone remember "the pound in your pocket"? And how the cost of living didn't go up. Stands to reason, that if the price went up by a halfpenny (that is half an old penny for all you youngsters, and which would have been the equivelent of 1.2 pence now) then how is it we were not paying more? Hummm :confused: And how soon after decimalisation did they do away with the new 1/2 penny Hmmm, again. Mind you, it is a bit of a party piece now, trying to explain the old currency to my grandsons, the eldest of which is 12!! They end up in hysterics!! :rofl: :rofl: I am glad I serve some useful purpose in life anyway!!:D |

To be honest, they gave the temps in both versions, but I only made a note of fahrenheit as I was going to tell a friend in the USA, and they are still using " old money ", and get confused by me saying centigrade...:thumbup:
