Wait a minute, let me call a steward's enquiry. It's still above freezing, there's no snow, okay it's very wet and windy and there are occasional busts of hail and frost.

:-k

Sounds like a typical Scottish summer to me. :P

Nah, seriously, Gaffer Fazer took the train in today, that only usually happens when he can't get it out of the shed. Winter.

Or he's hungover of course.

OMG!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I have never lived through such weather!!!

The roads were rivers and the rivers are oceans!

Utterly dreadful

How come after this rain and wind you still end up with a filthy bike? The bike (and rider) is getting jet washed all the way home! This is bound to be a record December, probably both warmest and wettest!

Have to say though - Frank Thomas Aqua Sport all in one suit is fantastic kit and only 40 quid.

I dont understand the "global warming thing" if it was warming, wouldn't we have it sunnier? and Warmer??


summer should be "global warming" and winter should be "global ****eweather"

thats my opinion.

Hah, you're on the west coast... Looks like rising sea temps will cause the gulfstream to move, which'll result in something like a 5 degree drop up most of the west of scotland. So nae luck :)

We had snow here about 2 weeks ago! Welcome to sunny California the sign says :lol:
It's been raining heavy here for the last 4 days solid.. and the high winds added means it's been raining inside my shed! Need to seal up the apex of the roof with something, the wind has been blowing the water up the slope of the roof and under the capping plates... the poor bike got soaked :cry:
