Default Cold weather. Blessing in disguise!

At least the very cold weather has shown how it effects different cars. I previously posted a thread about my clutch pedal not springing back. The temperature has risen and works OK now. The drivers door handle frozen soon sorted by a hair dryer. Pity I have no room in the garage but at least for next year I'll be prepared. Some experts now say we are going to go through a new ice-age What happened to global warming?

If global warming stops the Atlantic conveyor (Gulf stream) then the UK will have the same climate as Newfoundland, but the world-planet will be warmer..

Talking

Let's hope we keep getting our cold weather payments.

Ever wondered where all your taxes are going ?

Without a doubt... a rather large gravy train for people looking for grants jumped on.

Makes me laugh that when the results didn't match their predications it suddenly became climate change/chaos. Win win situation for them!

Seasonal weather and low solar activity is the real (un taxable) reason IMHO

..and I understand it will ! The melting ice-cap has diverted the Gulfstream away from our shores , so get used to it . Your next car might have to be two reindeer and a sleigh . I am working on a prototype to be known as the Rudolph 75............
