Global Warming strikes Britain

Why is it when it rains in this rainy country on a Monday morning, there are always serious crashes on the motorways.

Because there are an awful lot of cars on the British roads driven by seriously clueless drivers, plus Monday morning and Friday evening are incredibly busy due to the weekend long distance commuters who hog lanes.

Prime example of lousy driving: Last night I'm driving along a residential road at the speed limit, brake, indicate right, am about to turn right and then get overtaken (on the right) by a chavved up Golf doing >60.

Night time temperatures on Saturday night in northern England and Scotland could fall as low as 23F (-5C), the Met Office said. But the whole country will feel raw, with day time temperatures across large parts of the British Isles struggling to get above 41F( 5C).

Do they still give temperatures in Fahrenheit?

How quaint.

A second Arctic spell is likely to follow quickly behind early next week, according to forecasting services, bringing the first prolonged taste of winter this season.
