Still cant understand why they make such a big deal over a piddly bit of snow.
If it went sub arctic for weeks ... now theres a problem.
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...

I used to have a non french car where the clutch was slipping very bad for 3 years but it struggled on until I sold it to a scrap man as a runner with tax and MOT. It was a horrible old Astra diesel with a million and one things wrong with it. The head gasket went on the thing cylinder to outside world so no oil or coolant loss and it went 18 months and tens of thousands of miles before it got repaired.

I had some real gentleman's adventures in that thing.

And some kind of thermal pad apparently.
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.

All part of the general hyperbole, along with "red warnings", etc, over conditions that are not really that abnormal.

Last weekend, OH and myself took a hike over the local moors. We strayed a bit too far down a glen towards a river and got bogged down in, well, bog! There was a small isolated cottage nearby and as we were wandering about looking for a way through, an elderly chap came out and started beckoning us towards the dry path. We got chatting to him. Turns out he lives alone in the cottage. It has electrical power but that's all. Water comes from a spring and he burns peat and wood for fuel. There is no vehicle access. When he wants supplies, he walks along a rough path about half a mile to his nearest neighbour, who gives him a lift down to the village. He looked about 80.

Bet he doesn't need a survival pack!

I've been looking for a place like that (in Devon) for years!Big Grin
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
