Re: Batten Down The Hatches!!

so they are calling a storm in Britain, Atiyah, which is an Arabic name that means 'something given as a gift'

I'd rather not have that gift thank you very much.

I don't think they like us enough to give us anything nice.

Re: Batten Down The Hatches!!

The Met Office issued a statement the other day denouncing weather reports that the Daily Express put out about the entire country being blanketed in snow soon so I'll wait and see.
The DE always features these kind of stories on its front page .

Zuleika, it's not just the DE, there are the same warnings in the West Wales newspaper website as well as this one below

The Independent from the Met Office.plus the Daily Mirror.
Surely they can't all be wrong?

Re: Batten Down The Hatches!!

My brother's Russian fiancee often smiles when we say how perishing cold it is when minus 3, 4 or 5. They have anything up to minus 15 in Russia, and think nothing of it. They even go out in short sleeves under their coats because most of them wear real FUR coats which keep every bit of cold out. They have to wear them or they would not set foot outside, never mind try to get to and from work etc.

She knows how the West feel about wearing real fur but she says they need to wear them. They are a necessity, not a luxury over there.
