Thanks Jon:-) I bet the bookies are just relieved London stayed free. That
(and Birmingham) was the only one I didn't have a bet on.

I was quite impressed that Nigel clearly isn't having a mis-spent youth

The icing on the cake for me was Dublin. I got odds of 12/1 on an inch of
lying snow. Yesterday, it didn't seem as if that had occurred, but when I
logged on today my account was up by far more than I expected as it seems
an inch did indeed fall at Dublin Airport.

Congrats Mike.
I held back from the one inch bet and went for an inch at Manchester with
just snow to report at Belfast and Dublin. My one losing bet was Heathrow but
I don't mind. Suffice to say I'm more than happy with my return!

All the very best.

Joe
