The weather

[Poor Scouser T]

Go as far north as you can in the UK. Then go as far west as you can and the go in a dip  20 odd miles inland.

It's either pissing down non stop or absolutely freezing and icy. Miserable stuff.

She has a hot water bottle. Every night she recycles the water back in to the kettle the tight git.

 

Does she know the water costs about 0.005p and boiling the kettle will be about 35p.

I'll never forget the day we got a smart meter in my old house and the boy boiled a kettle to show me how it showed your power usage, I just about twatted him when I saw it shooting up. Cups of tea were banned when I was around after that.

 

That was about seven years ago as well, before the prices trebled.

One cup at a time. Press a button 10 seconds later a brew.

Hate coming South. Every time I do it seems to get a bit madder. I can drive up here for hours and not see another car. I come to Liverpool and it's aggression, an hour to do 5 miles. Only thing I miss is the sport which won't be named and the food.

We haven't got a smart meter, so I can't check , no way I'm giving up my hot water bottle for any fucker though. And incidentally , anyone without a furry jacket around their hot water bottle is definitely missing out !

I don't mind the cold to be fair , what I can't stand is the wet windy and freezing cold grey shite we get over here on the Iom - very depressing

Yeah looks good that. I generally boil far more water than I need out of habit.

No one here to shoot mate. Just sheep and deer if they count.

No idea if that's really your local beach , but I've seen some pics of the coast up there and it's pretty impressive to be fair

I'm not sure, it was all so long ago.

I’m with Mook and Tony, fuck the winter.

 

It was so long and miserable last year that I swore not to complain once during the summer that it was too hot and I kept to that promise. 
 

The cold affects my mood and my MS. I’d gladly hibernate if it was an option. 
 

In our house the heating only needs to be on 18 degrees to have upstairs toasty as fuck. Downstairs, where I spend most of my time, is absolutely Baltic since we put tile floors in. You can genuinely feel the temperature change as you get halfway up the stairs. It’s mad. 
 

Dressing gown, thermal socks and the odd 10 minute blast of the leccy heater. 

Didn't know about the MS , fair play to you for not being a grumpy cunt
