fooking freezing here in London

Is it Sarf Laundun?

yes  staff lundun an its tatters

staff ffs.

saff ^^ffs my fingers must be frostbitten!

Soft as shyte

you are probably right tiger had the heating on 24/7 , just thinking back to  when I was a nipper used ton go night fishing in weather as bad or worse than this back in the 1960s and 70s just a camp bed a  thin sleeping bag and pub garden parasol with polythene sheeting pegged around it ,would often cast out in the night and hear a clanking instead of a splash where the water had frozen over . musta been crazy

Central heating has a lot to answer for Foyles. Was visiting friends in Langdon Beck last night, minus 15 at its coldest,a 25 minute walk to the pub, 30 minutes back of course!

This is when wfh is a particularly welcome societal development!

I'm in a new build so that's great in this weather too, not so great in the warm summer evenings.

As my dad would have said... put another jumper on!

remember as a kid no central heating and bedroom windows frosting up on the inside.

Yes and that many blankets on the bed you could hardly breathe

-10c here and to drop to -22c later. Away out for a walk while it`s still mild.

probably hovering around zero yet the numpties believe whatever the msm brainwashers tell them. a cold night? in january? well i never.

Taters as we used to say.

whatever the weather and temperature in the uk tonight, spare a thought for the guys in Bastogne Dec 1944.In the central Ardennes, Bastogne became a focal point, surrounded by German divisions. The battle, fought under harsh conditions with temperatures feeling like minus 28 degrees Celsius, resulted in high casualties on both sides.

hey guys dont forget the global warming

Correct foyles......WMO confirms 2024 as warmest year on record at about 1.55°C above pre-industrial level. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed that 2024 is the warmest year on record, based on six international datasets

We used to get snow from November right through to February. Only get it in short phases now and then rain washes it away. Tonight -20c forecast is a rarity now. Definitely a lot milder here now than last century Sparrow.

.... generally speaking. 5c - 0c is the average now. -20c like tonight is a rare occurence now.

Absolutely, mac.

does anyone remember the winter of 1962 ,as  a nipper walking to school it seemed at the time the walls of  frozen snow were about 6 ft high , looking on those youtube vids they were higher , we had to use an outside khazi ,on a freezing night  night you didnt linger in there ! grimm!

62/63 was an awful winter and nothing ever like it before or after in my lifetime. Just went on for months.

Cooling to 14c ere ,

Dreading coming bk to england on sunday

13 degrees daytime uk temps next week

program on ch5 other nite the snow of 82..remembered it well..my cortina was stuck in street in 3ft of snaa.

pne about 12 yrs ago that seemed to last for ever and beast from the east might have been one and the same

Cortina back then was a great car. We had a Ford Zephyr and was only car in the street in early 70s.

...... Now there are 3/4 cars to every house. All up to their eyes in debt.

aye crazzee times..ev fckn street where i live is bumper to bumper both sides of the street.

Worked a night shift in Govan about 10yrs ago it was that cold the River Clyde had frozen over, went back home to my flat and heard a strange hissing noise, the phecking cold had actually burst a water pipe in the kitchen.   HappyDays.

Bridgewater canal that has just burst its banks - Used to ride on the ice to school in Lymm , just got to be a bit of a pain getting out for the bridges where it wasnt so thick .

the winter of 62/63 is how i got to be here. i was born september 63.

Had a stroll Waitrose about 9, no good this cold for this old boy, lock the door, draw the curtains, open the Bollinger, job done
