to be better: grandiose schemes about transferring water via canals
etc., and more efficient use of water in the home. I...

Northern part of Southern England

We can get a touch snobby on here at times. I think it's a reasonable
description if you assume you know which bit is Southern England to start
off with. I think the point was that towards the coast...

It wouldn't be the same without you Rob! Personally I think it is the usual

Looks pretty good Brendan, mine is in a box away from the house and I got
the same minimum although I think I was about 4.4C at that time today.

O doubting Thomases!

Well I would still doubt the BBC version of events in terms of the big

Brian Gaze's Xmas forecasts
