Gary Manuel Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Posted by Percy Verance on 02/06/2019 10:07:07: I guess it's a trade off we Northeners just have to accept Ken. Mind you, I've visited London several times, and there's no way I could live there. It's frightening.........a different world. For one the traffic is horrendous. In my village, you often see a couple of locals stood in the middle of the road having a natter, because that's where they happened to meet......

GONZO Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I grew up at the Elephant & Castle/Old Kent road area. Left in January 1973, with a big sigh of relief. You only go back to London now days to get stabbed! Rain, Rain, you English lot don't know what rain is until you've lived in North Wales. We've all got webbed feet and moss growing on our heads!

Dwain Dibley. Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Posted by Percy Verance on 02/06/2019 12:39:59: See here Doc.... A little place just up the road from our village.

J D 8 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Last year someone had a right good moan about the jet's scorch marks on the strip during the dry spell. We told him not to worry, this is Wales and very soon it will rain the proverbial and grass will grow like crazy just like it is now.

GONZO Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 J D 8 Abergele here. Just wondering, how often do you get your head moss trimmed and do you suffer from mildew in the foot webbing like I do? Funny you mentioning the grass. I've only cut my front grass 4 times this year. But, the pyracanth bushes are on steroids. Things seem strangely different this year.

Tony Harrison 2 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 N.Wales? Rains even more than in Devon, where I spend much of the year. The Lake District? I once went camping in Wester Ross, got rained out, returned south to near Kendal - where it was even wetter. Wettest place I ever visited... Here in my part of S.France it was at least 28 degrees today, same forecast for tomorrow, next Sunday 30 - with no rain. My kind of weather.

ASH. Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Ahh,, the Lake District.. God's green land. We need the rain to keeps things nice and lush. Am I the only one who loves the rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH. Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Percy, you're getting your water for half the price compared to what we pay here down south. We're getting ripped off. And you have lovely sweet soft water washed down from the fells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Posted by Percy Verance on 03/06/2019 05:57:43: Certainly not ASH, United Utilities love it too. Then they charge people money to use it to wash, cook and flush toilets........... £450 a year in my case. And that's with a discount for having my own drainage...... Edited By Percy Verance on 03/06/2019 06:01:30 And, in the future Percy, people will look back and giggle saying " can you remember when we had a bath in drinking water ! " I don't have an alternative to this, but it is most certainly daft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
