Sir TophamHatt Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 No it isn't a load of rubbish and you leave the lid down to contain the stale smell of pee.So you open it for a whole load of stink together? I didn't mean it as rudeness. Perhpas I just eat too much asparagus! Although we have a water saving device in our cistern so it always uses less. I do enjoy the adverts you see abotu taking showers and reusing dishwater. I don't have baths in summer and have a dishwasher that uses less water than a washing up bowl. If I choose to water my garden with my allotment of water, that's my choice. I'm happy to drink beer only... so long as I don't get caught in the rationing of it!

jonny777 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) I'm on leave a fortnight from today so it will rain! Right, let us get this clear. As with July 1976, the weather does not respond to prayers, persistent moaners or folk who think they can influence it by dancing naked in the back garden. From what I have seen, next weeks forecast appears to be even hotter, with temperatures regularly into the mid-30s.... in southern Britain. Like it, or lump it... it is not going to change just because you want it to. Edited July 3, 2018 by jonny777 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2018 No, but it does appear to respond if you appoint a Minister for Drought.... Hiring an open top car while on holiday back in 1976 worked like a charm - after several days in a hard top waiting for the Spridget to become available the day we received the Spridget it absolutely bucketed down. well home tonight to a major new flair up of the saddleworthmoor fire nottinghamshire tender and helicopter in attendance twohours hard graft and its down to a small smouldering plume .must be absolout hell working in this heat much respect to the teams fightin the fires My father did over 30 years in total in the AFS and then postwar as a Retained Fireman and he always reckoned grass and heathland fires were some of the nastiest things to deal with in firefighting terms. (And that's from someone who fought fires in the blitz in several large British towns and cities including Southampton, Coventry, Birmingham and London.)

Well, from the long range forecasts I have seen; a Minister will not be necessary. The simple fact of the start of the school holidays would appear to be enough to plunge us into Autumn.

Nearholmer Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have only one complaint to make about “rerun of 1976” weather: last time it was 1976 I was young; that is not the case this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikey Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Some eejits think it is quite OK to use a disposable BBQ on dry moorland grass. One of our local idiots can top even that. A year or two back there was a big heath fire caused by one of a party of Scouts needing a poo on a very windy day during a long dry spell. He dug a hole, did the deed, used the bogroll Mum had thoughtfully provided, and then "for environmental reasons" put more paper in the hole before putting a match to it ...
