When Did We Start Having A Storm Season?

[ToraToraTora]

and when did we start naming slightly inclement weather? More poncification?

Just keep your revolutionary ways back in cocoa cola land. Leave our ruddy tea alone as well. !!

You can keep yer tea...I never drink the stuff. (Stopped when I got rid of the Brit spouse...;-) )

Not to mention, "If there's enough blue in the sky to make a sailor boy's trousers it will be a fine day"!!
That saying might appeal to some :-)//

Why does the village people keep springing to mind. :-)

Hear hear, Tizzi.

Not that we didn't do Halloween before. We just did it properly, parties with autumn related activities; none of this "trick or treat", demands with menaces, stuff. I think storm naming the least of the import issues though. But we are still gradually losing our culture to US imports as if ours was inferior in some way.

Looks like Barney has done an about turn. Blowing up a hooley at the mo in Saaarf London/Surrey. More than we received last night for sure.

I really don't mind us adopting American ways, what's so wrong with that ?? Rather their ways and sayings than being taken over by muslim culture !! I'm a fan of USA. That expression about 'Bill's Mother's' brought back memories of things my lovely Grandma used to say.

It's not funny. They had gale force winds in Newport. Caused £3,000 worth of improvements.

"I really don't mind us adopting American ways, what's so wrong with that ??"

"...we are still gradually losing our culture to US imports as if ours was inferior in some way"

And being so ashamed of it, have to sling our own away and grab someone else's.
