I think he's completely lost touch with reality and the general public. Like certain people on this forum, he thinks we all take the gossip we hear on the media as gospel and that we all believe the royals are a super family like no other. He's trying to tell the world that they have arguments like any other family completely oblivious to the fact that we already know that - and it's taken him six episodes to do it!
RANT CORNER
I think the pair of them are milking their celebrity while complaining about media intrusion. It's really naff, but that's life.Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 1:45 pmI think he's completely lost touch with reality and the general public.

Snow needs an air temp of < +2c. And you get local cold spots so I guess its possible esp with so much rain on the way and with frozen ground it'll settle.
Perhaps local ie 5 miles west the land is significantly higher, but that has no relevance for most folk in chesterfield. I shall report back Sunday.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 6:32 pmSnow needs an air temp of < +2c.

Didn't mean to be a smart arse greeny, just since I've returned to a rural life after being a city boy the weather suddenly matters more. Mainly because sliding around on country roads is a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to a bit of snow. There's hardly any of my county over about 6ft above sea level so high altitude snow is off the cards sadly 
I like hot, and I like cold. It's just the 300+ grey damp chilly days I can't stand. Almost at the shortest day now greenmark so we've got some end to the winter blues in sight. I think I can chart your rant posts vs a monthly daylight chart

21st Dec is the bottom of the trough for me, so even though the effect on length of day takes a few weeks to gather pace, it's still a watershed moment for me each year and I raise a glass to it.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 8:15 pmDidn't mean to be a smart arse greeny, just since I've returned to a rural life after being a city boy the weather suddenly matters more.

I also enjoyed larking about in snow in the car (especially rear wheel drive). But cold weather loses it's appeal when on foot on snow that has partially melted then refrozen to a glassy ice rink surface having been trodden down by lots of little schoolkid feet.
Yes, I'm a weather grinch!!!
But a decade or more ago we had 2ft of snow. I couldn't get to work so went out for a walk and after a mile left the other footprints behind as was on virgin snow. I then followed a fox track and felt quite the adventurer despite being less than 2 miles from home. It'd kill me now.
21:48 is the precise time you need to raise your glass.greenmark wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 10:11 pm21st Dec is the bottom of the trough for me, so even though the effect on length of day takes a few weeks to gather pace, it's still a watershed moment for me each year and I raise a glass to it.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 8:15 pmDidn't mean to be a smart arse greeny, just since I've returned to a rural life after being a city boy the weather suddenly matters more.

In case you didn't know, due to the Earth approaching its perihelion, the sun's already started setting later but won't start rising earlier until the new year, so you could raise your glass three times.
Excellent. I'll be on holiday then with access to nice wines.

Didnt know the technical reason for it. Ta.
Just realised who Sunak reminds me of. Sorry in advance.

Has anyone decided to cook a recipe and shop for all the ingredients lately? I only needed dijon mustard and redcurrant jelly. Went to one of the biggest supermarkets in town and they didn't have either of them!
And they love advertising their 2-for-1 offers. Where are the 6 eggs for the price of 12 or 1 litre of sunflower oil for the price of 3 adverts??
