Random musings and general banter.

Shouldn't that be lowest temps, -17 and highest 5? Unless that's the time. And even then, it doesn't make sense.

Has he used the wind speed instead of the minimum temperature?

FFS Peter. Winter is on its way, like it is every year, no need for the scare tactics. I'm old enough to remember the winter of 1962, I was a young schoolgirl. We had no central heating, but we managed. We still went about our daily business, buses ran, milk and post were delivered. We don't get winter's like that now, thank goodness.

Remember it well. Got two weeks off school because the outside toilets froze. Can’t remember how we all got notified when we could go back as very few had phones. Probably by letter. Still had to use the outside loos but they’d set up paraffin heaters to thaw them out.

Stock up on food just in case. It doesn't take much for everything to stop when we have snow!

I know it sounds daft especially as we rarely get snow down here in the south, but I always stock up in November. I’m disabled and always make sure I’ve enough tinned, dried, and packet food to last a month, plus the freezer is full.

Jessie now the Trenton expert.

Asks us to check the prices on the American web site.


Hey Jessie, it may have prices in Dollars (illusion tactic) but it ain't an American web site. It's run from London, the web site is run under the Jurisdiction of the English Courts, and privacy is governed by the UK Data Protection Act. American my arse.

Just for you Jessie so in future you know the brand/web sites present lineage:-

Web site → Trenton watch Brand → Ingersoll 1882 Brand → Zeon Ltd (London) → Heralds Holdings Ltd (Hong Kong)

Jessie also the watch Expert for Tsovet watches.

Jessie kindly pointed out that if you do go diving that this is the pressure release valve (Helium release valve), cause if you go 200 mtrs under water this proves it's the real deal (he loves calling things "The Real Deal").

Great work Jessie, only it isn't a pressure release valve. Because it's a kinetic movement (PX85) with a battery (used to be a capacitor when it was the 5m85 in Seiko watches) it's the pusher for the power storage indicator function, it has sod all to do with helium or pressure release.
