Blackwall Tunnel Gob on selling leather/plastic trousers. You must buy says she as they keep the wind out in the freezing weather. They look more like they’re made of leather look fabric than plastic.

Think I’ll stay with thin thermal leggings under my trousers plus my thermal long sleeved vest. Never used to feel the cold but I do now I’m older and not very mobile.

I've got Heattech long sleeve tops and leggings from Uniqlo. Not expensive, very thin and soft to wear under your clothes. Keeps you very warm.

By the way I nearly choked on my yoghurt laughing at 'Blackwall Tunnel gob'

Weather map time again.


It's really useful someone nearly 500 miles away is telling me it's very, very cold and what the temperature is outside my house. Where would be be without Foghorn Schafernaker.

Whenever I have checked on their weather forecasts elsewhere, they are normally completely inaccurate. In other words if they say it’s going to be freezing cold across the country, it isn’t going to be. And if they say it’s going to be boiling hot - it’s not. They seem completely at ease with the art of misleading.

I guess Ideal Weather forecasts are 'not a direct comparison' to the real weather

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

Sadly Hammy it hasn’t still got much better.

I’ve just come back from a regular nurses appointment, to Get there I couldn’t get down pavements as vans and cars are parked on the pavements, you ask them why and the answer you get is we don’t wanna block the roads, I’m gonna make myself sound dumb here I’m 50 next year, but vunerable going onto the road.

Then I went into our small village Tesco, Which has Christmas Tat blocking the isles, you get a blank look from staff, and you email head office, and don’t get a reply

Our local overground railway station has been heavily criticised for not having the lift working (goes with most of the staff, who often aren't working either) and expecting people with mobility issues to walk down two flights of fairly steep stairs. This is 2024, for gawd's sake! They can pass all the legislation they like, but the discrimination against those with disabilities is scandalous in this day and age.

In her later years, my mum had awful problems walking so got her a wheelchair and pushed her to shops etc. I had my eyes opened as to how bad it is for wheelchair users to get around and use facilities/shops etc in a city, whether it was poor pavements, poor access, impossible to navigate shop layouts or just ignorant shoppers, i found it an utter nightmare at times, made my blood pressure and anger management worse than when watching IW.
