-23 Degrees Centigrade. That's the lowest temperature recorded in the UK for as long as I can remember, and maybe even much longer. That's definitely going to affect my work schedule - I can see me using buses to get to my venue, and when I get there, the place might even be closed 'cause it'll be too expensive to heat. There's talk secondary school exams are certain to be hit, and universities surely can't be far behind - we may have gotten off lightly on the snow front, but it still gets BLOODY COLD, and there's about nine more days of this, according to the weather bigwigs...
Holy crap... This isn't just "winter", this is worse than anything we were possibly ready for, thanks to the "global warming" panic-mongers. Councils are supposed to "ration" grit and salt? ARE THE GOVERNMENT INSANE?
I'm just thinking we should be glad we have still have some of our Christmas excess to live off...
*dreams of cooked breakfasts and hot chocolate...*
