There's snow good in moaning.
According to the local weatherman we have had 11 consecutative days of snow in London.So what?? And where??. If they call that sprinkling of cold rain ,snow, then maybe they should live up north for a while where snow means more than 1mm.Why do they always moan about weather here in London? It has been one of the warmest and least icy of februarys for years and now that we get a bit of that weather we missed in this month and it makes local news.Get a life you news people.
5 useless facts about London:
1. The first pedestrian crossing in Great Britain was sited near the Houses of Parliament in London, in December 1926
2. In the great fire of London in 1666 half of London was burnt down but
only 6 people were injured.
3. There's no mobile reception at the top of the Gherkin in London - it's too high up at 40 storeys. The phone companies hadn't expected a tower so tall, and it's above the reception area.
4. Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, has got solar panels fitted on the roof of his Cricklewood home.
5. Guests at the Queen's coronation in 1953 pilfered toilet paper from Westminster Abbey. "It was found early on Coronation Day, that much of the lavatory paper had been removed, and in future it will be necessary to take steps to prevent this," official records reveal.

Andy Warhol produced a series of self-portraits throughout his life in much the same way that a dress designer would periodically launch a new collection. These self-portraits have been brought together in a travelling exhibition that is now being shown at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art; they range from the deliberately naive sketches that he drew in the late 1940s while still a student at Pittsburgh through to the famous silk-screen images that continued until his death.

Dear Mr. Mole, I came across you blog via Scary Duck. What you say about snow is so true. Up here in the Midlands we have snow every day it's all been light showers. No snow drifts or anything. And yet the media keep harping on about how the world is about to end. I've given up listening to the weather now. It's all lies I tell you!
Like the blog. I've added you into my links section.

Thanks Darth Phil. I've added you to mine also as I like your site.I also like the original star wars trilogy but totally side with Tim Bisley from 'spaced ' when he says the current trilogy stinks!! I nearly cried at the first one.
Well Gawblimey alll i can say is that footballers shouldn't be such pansies! In the good old days footballers would frequently kick the ball around in 16 ft of snow and then stick their head in the nearest icy lake to cool off.
