    Just put the heating on

    Just put the heating on for the first time in any August. Got to admire the BBC referring to "The unseasonable weather with low temperatures and rain" but it's "Climate change and runaway global warming making southern Europe boil

      You do understand that climate change screws up familiar weather patterns, resulting in unseasonable or previously unseen excesses of variation?

        You do understand that England had always had bad summers long before "climate change" even far back as 1314 to 1316

            You need heating on at this time of year? You must be an older old fart than this old fart.

                Wettest July on record in NI and some parts of England - so it ain't normal weather.
