Mind you, I have equal blame for those that massaged the cautious reports
issued in the late 1990s into the implied South of England desert scenario
that gained ground - the infamous John Craven/Helen Young presentation
confidently explaining that the climate zone of the south of France was
marching north and we'd all soon have to get used to it! I'm still
waiting.


That was always going to be ********. I used to get turned upon for daring
to say otherwise as well.
No way can our Islands turn into a mediterranean climate when we are right
in the track of the westerlies off the Atlantic. LOL it really seems now
that the opposite could be turning out to be true, at least in summer. As
for newspapers, I don't take them and don't read them. They are mostly
worthless unless you are bored and then they can have entertainment value
and you can always wipe your arse with them afterwards.
