    I read once that Tue/Wed are the best days for weather - their study said something about all the commuter traffic in the week causing the poor weather at the weekend ... and the Tue/Wed better weather is due to there being less commuters travelling at the previous weekend.

    If everybody gave up their cars we should, therefore, have more glorious weather more often.

    Wow! That's interesting! Would that happen only in big conurbations, though?



    Hello! I'm new to this thread, well, new to this board really! It's like finding interesting little nooks and crannies in a town you've been visiting!
    After joining to get some financial advice, I found myself in [STRIKE]Royston Vasey[/STRIKE]The Moneysavers' Arms, occasionally being let out for good behaviour to visit a couple of other boards. :D:D

    Welcome, Pyxis. You are among friends. :beer:

    Although I'm afraid you've only escaped from Royson Vasey into the ever-expanding Greater Herts, currently expanding faster than the rest of the universe.....

    Hello! I'm new to this thread,

    Welcome Pyxis. :beer: I hope you realise you will be interrogated about your taste over Mushrooms and Marmite amongst other things! :rotfl:

    I'm the resident Liverpudlian, though hail originally from North Harrow. :eek: But after 46 years resident in the City of Liverpool I think I'm almost a native! ;)

    Love mushrooms! :T

    Love marmite! :T

    Never tried them together! :D

    Went to Liverpool many years ago and really liked it! (Never been to North Harrow! Other bits of North London but not that bit!)

    Welcome Pyxis, think we go on another board together.....

    I am classed as outer Herts (as in an area that is not part of Herts), I'm the resident Suffolk/Essex border gal.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    No idea. :)

    I got the impression they were speaking "of the whole of England", not just bits of it.
    Crumbs!
    I must start logging the nice days!

    Welcome. The other bits can be .... scarey. Lots of loons waiting to jump on you, then beat you down.

    In a battle of wits they still plough in, only half-armed - and, as I was told, never argue with an idiot, they'll always win on experience.
    Well, The Arms isn't too bad these days. Discussion Time can be a bit hairy.
    It's ok though, as long as you use the hedgehog technique. :D
    If you're jumped on by a predator, roll into a ball and stay very still and quiet until they've slunk away. :beer:

    Ah! Suffolk! The Swan at Lavenham!

    I always wanted to go to Lavenham..one day, former lovveerrr took me for a drive and said we were going to Lavenham.

    Well, we arrived, reached the crossroads, he turned (away from all the lovely houses) and drove back out of Lavenham.

    Apparently that constituted visiting Lavenham.

    I actually got used to 'visiting' places in this manner, most of the time he found a handy car park, I would start getting excited that maybe, just maybe, we were going to park up but alas, he would turn the car round in the car park and drive back out and away :rotfl:

    Wonder why he's a former lover? :D

    My dad was a bit of a master like that ... he'd go somewhere, find a supermarket to buy a pasty at, then drive mum home again.

    It seemed that going out was only ever about buying pasties - so first you had to find one soonest, then, once acquired, there was no point hanging about :)

    Your username should be PastiesNew, then! :rotfl:
