The SOUTH grinds to a halt again.....

Of course, it was NOTHING to do with the fact that she probably couldn't drive in the summer, let alone winter!

Meanwhile, the weather-numpties keep on doom-mongering by saying it's "bitterly cold" when, at about 2 degrees, they really mean it's just "a bit nippy". We had that sort of weather on our Catherine Wheel (in October) and none of US had to stay overnight in a Community Centre. And it's like that all year round up in Leyburn.

FACT: This country does have a winter.
FACT: It has been known that we get snow at the end of November.
FACT: Bodmin Moor has been known to get snow.
OPINION: The South is full of old shandy-drinking crumblies with Chelsea Tractors, who can't actually drive them.

We should immediately send all our Northern Great I AMs down to train them.....

(This should simultaneously upset several IAM members AND flush out Southern lurkers on the Pennine Massive thread. I hope!!!)

Yeahbutnobutyeahbutnobut...you smell of wee and biscuits and wear flat caps

Sadly its all true.

SORRY! Can't complete this! Must dash off as my pet Polar Bear has just collapsed with heat stroke. Need to hose him down.

El Boc, it's the end of November mate, you're not kidding me that you've got +10 degrees or better today are you ? I mean, you are NORTH of Birmingham, and you have to wait until June for that sort of weather

On the other hand, my pet tropical iguana does have a coat on today, but I drew the line at him wearing a flat cap

November? NOVEMBER?

Is it really? It's so mild (only about minus 4 or 5) that I thought it must still be July! Gosh, all the leaves will start to go soon........

i am just plain scared of ice/snow/wet and anything that means i'm gonna shorten my life, much prefer hooning round in nice warmish sunny conditions ( don't we all though) and taking my tyres to within 4 mm!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
too many grey hairs popping out already for me to hoon round in ice!

I would be more on edge than a three legged balarena (sp) and would have more confidence in a chocolate fireguard than my abolity to ride in/on ice !!!! know its pansy and wuss like but what i lack in confidence in the cold i make up for in the summer !!!!

and ice...... don't like it at all !!
