Mornin' all, after a dry night it has just started to rain here on the plain so i'm glad I am off to bed. At least I don't need a shave this morning. Have a good week all.
Hi all...just been reading through the stuff I've missed...some interesting posts there....the idea of Windermere sloping is a new one on me...could you ski or toboggan when it freezes...be one hell of a track! How long is it?
The inclinometer would be great for the pension queue...soon see which of the girls was inclined, ahem! ...or is that not it's use..???
Reminds me I must prepare....tin hat WB and flak jacket...just popped a new avatar on for the occasion..NO alba that is not me...HE he!
good luck, commoner - first of all it last froze over in the great freeze of 63. Secondly we are talking a slope of less than one foot in 10.5 miles so what's that 1 in 50000 roughly by my maths.
I remember watching cars out on the Lake when I was young. Some plonker, apparently, parked his car with the engine running, not realising that the ice beneath him would melt and, hey presto, his Ford Zephyr was suddenly 120 feet down under the surface.
commoner - can't see the end of the garden. that's our bit of mist. front garden that is. the back is lost in the mists of time. your lovely dog could disappear for hours.
Ah, the great freeze of 63, I can remember just about[i days of from school [i]don't think the boilers could cope, or teachers not able to get to school] and snow drifts taller than I was.
