30/11/10 It's the tale end of November it's been freezing for days, -10c to -20c up north. My youngest daughter has caught the flu ( proper flu, she has seen a doctor ) and it's been snowing all day, it reached a depth of 6" a few miles away in Dulwich. Chaos on the roads, people taking four and half hours to make a journey that normally takes forty five minutes. Bus drivers terminating the journey route at the first sign of a snow flake. It's just gone 9o/c at night and it's still snowing.
1/11/10
There is reports that the temperature in places in the north of the UK could be as low as -27 by the end of the week. Sheet ice across the footpaths and roads locally. It's -3 in my garden.
2/11/10
Loads more snow and there's is ice everywhere.
If this is a result of global warming, bring on the ice age
It's too cold for the kids
Thoughts, Observations and Outlooks and general chit chat. A bit of family stuff and a few pictures. SOUTH LONDON

Sitting at the back is "Swampy" and is responsible for the jokes and a bit of spell checking.
Miss Moneypenny does everything else.
Not really....just a couple of bods at work.

BRITISH PARKING ASSOCIATION
20/11/10 The local councils are looking for permission to raise the parking fine costs, the British Parking Association are supporting them. Bloody typical! The contractors who do the councils dirty work are pushing for a rise as well, more profit for all.

London Cyclists
I think we would all agree that London is not the best place to ride bicycles if you want to reach retirement age.
What I cannot grasp is bicycles and buses mixing together in the same lane. If I rode a bike the last place I would want to be is mixing it is with the 159 to Streatham. Last night I was on the Brixton Road, the A23 near Brixton waiting for someone and I noticed how many bikes had no lights, incredible, idiots, muppets and absolute twats.
Most of them looked like city workers going home. Silly polystyrene hat and back pack but not much between the ears. The A23 in that area is busy, but not only that, it contains some of the worse drivers in the UK and they wouldn't see you in daylight never mind at night.
