The Independent Meteorological Service, AKA Dave's dad, has forecast swathes of snow to cross all the important parts of the UK in the early part of January. The parts regarded as important almost certainly include parts you might be interested in, or possibly near to parts you might be interested in.
'The snow will be ten units deep,' he said, declining to say if the units are inches or centimetres. It could be Smurfs. It will travel south from the north, and west from the east although there is some potential variability in these directions - travel north from the south is a possibility.
Temperatures will drop to minus ten degrees, or 474 degrees Rankine for any scientists still working in old absolute money. Unless the minus ten refers to Fahrenheit, in which case all bets are off and it probably won't even snow.
Snow is the most excitable temperature related weather item known to climate change deniers, with a ten minute snowfall in York being cited as evidence against the argument for Climate Change whereas entire ice masses in the artic melting before our eyes is 'just one of them things', said Dave's dad, urging everyone to ignore the warnings, buy a snow shovel (links below) and to buy Dave a beer next time you see him.
Dave's dad is a journalist (sic) working for the Daily Mail.
I'm just asking, as we seem to be paying double for a pool that is on the verge of flooding. My husband was all like, we have to have this, but I'm now thinking we've been scammed.
Don't get me wrong, I like to swim, but it's just a normal pool but with a bit more water, right?
Do you think it's a plumbing issue? They had a flood and rather than fix it, some bright smart figured a way to make a quick buck.
What's that? A plunge pool? Really? They just haven't got round to fixing the hot tap.
