Re: Weather
Speaking of weather, there were complaints a year ago or more about coils freezing up and someone was talking about getting -20 in some places in Scotland. I mentioned this to some other people and was taken down a notch when the dude posted historical weather data showing it didn't get lower than -6 or 7 in the last couple of years.
Now I am confused. Does anyone have a recolection of -20C anywhere in the UK in the last couple of years?

Re: Weather
And here I am complaining it reached a low of 13C. I lived in a town where the record high was 42.75C, not a national record ( that is around 43.5C). In winter we were watching CNN and there was a piece of a heatwave in London, 31C, poms dying of heatstroke etc, bathing in fountains and such like. Asked when it was 31C there, and was told it was at 8AM. We had tourists come down from the Highveldt and drop dead from heatstroke, whilst us living there were complaining about the cold and wearing jerseys. Only town where the municipal pool was closed because the water hit 50C.
