Just a slight dusting of snow on the top of the hills, but more forecast for the end of the week. Of course we got the kids a sledge for Christmas, so we'll not actually see any more snow than that this winter! LKC ...it looks lovely ...good on ya ?

I like a bit of choice ,that's why I put up with a bit of shite weather to have the likes of Switzerland and Italy on my doorstep . then of course there is London ....any show worth seeing is on in London at the same time i could go on and on ....for some the beach and the weather is enough ....not me plus , if i was in oz , i would have to work bloody hard for the money i earn here ...its a no starter each to their own 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the language spoken yes pretty much the same a big city is a big city is a big city to me. Not trying to convince anyone but your constant blabbering on about Europe being the be all and end all is a bit boring tbh if your idea of fun is an easy jet flight and 50p pints then crack on I want my kids to experience a bit more diversity than that. I don’t read up on the UK weather it’s normally reported on in my chosen news outlet online and it catches my eye when I tend to read on here how tropical the weather is currently in the UK but there are flights being cancelled at airports I tend to wonder who’s lying the papers or the posters ?

I think it is, I think sled is victorian or an abbreviation of sledge, I have seen it used in storybooks from early 1900's I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
