Never bothered me... Eat like a horse when I choose to, with no weight gain. I'm one of those 'hated' folk! ... ... Overweight is not my name. Every other name under the sun, maybe! ...

Now how lazy is that???? I honestly think it's the laziest thing I have ever witnessed. The walk would have done her good!
Eh???????? Bonkers - absolutely bonkers. I've just started a job about a mile away from my house and I cycled there last week. The people at work thought it the most bizarre thing and asked where my car was....

That doesn't suprise me in the least. When in TX I used to walk about half a mile between apartment and store, I didn't saw a soul outdoors apart from Hispanics. Folk in cars looked at me as though I were bonkers, a drop-out perhaps, out in the hot midday sun, walking! Hey... You lot... I'm English! We do that kinda thing - right?? We don't ALL rely on cars to go a short disance from A to B! Geez...

Yea...there's nothing better than leaving a cold damp place...jumping onto a plane and arriving somewhere hot....

Its not to bad here...its slowly getting warmer (around 55 degrees)....but can't wait for the long hot summer...

Suprisingly for this time of year here, we too are in the 50F area (daylight) with snowdrops and the Daf's beginning to hint on the first signs of colour! Where I live we haven't seen any snow to talk of and, apart from a few cold and wet windy days, I can't say I've witnessed a real winter yet.

North America... eat your heart out! And you think it's England that gets all the bad weather! ...

I'm SOOO jealous, 55f is tropical compared to here, our forecast tomorrow is a "high" of 0 F with a wind chill of minus 25f - I'm DONE with Winter!!

Needless to say I won't be walking anywhere.....

When you drive through the Dairy Queen and the girl serving you tells you to just drive to the window because she saw you coming and she has your order ready

I gained 14 lbs in 6 months the first year I moved here; Dairy Queen was my best-friend. It took longer than that to get the weight off though:curse:

Hey another neighbor!

Hi neighbor

It has been a teensy bit cold a few times this winter, hasn't it. Of course, us hardened folks think it's fairly balmy at present.
