On bbc news last night mentioned climate change 5 times, all the reporters telling us porkies , in 1976 we had 15 days of over 32c and highest temperature recorded, as we now know it’s a global tax , there are thousands employed with this climate change agenda, nice little gravy chain, we are all flooded out by rising water levels as the ice cap melts, no they have t risen, 30 years of propaganda peddled by the likes of the bbc and Attenborough, rant over

I remember it well we were working away and inside in a steel shed, we had to start at 5 am and finish at 1 as it was unbearable, we were stopping at a pub in Halifax and a mother and daughter had just hade a fire in the house and moved into the pub with rooms, I remember going back to my double room one night on opening the door my mate was stark naked with the mother starkers. Both stood at each end of the bed on wheels and he’s trying to get her on the bed she’s squealing ffs to calm it all down it was agreed she would sleep in my bed lol, it’s why I remember that week

a hot year 50years ago is evidence of nothing other than your stupidity
its some conspiracy, must be millions involved in it. and its costing a fortune. the u.n giving island nations billions in aid for what exactly, if its a hoax? natural changes dont account for the rapid changes and destructive weather. every institute full of boffins says so, and the evidence is overwhelming. deniers believe in every conspiracy and are immune to reason. as here, with the irrelevant rubbish from know nothing i have a stack of new scientist magazines that are full of it. all lies, obv, even saintly attenborough is at it |

Agree with the above, a 5 year old could understand the figures, if they wanted to.

natural changes dont account for the rapid changes and destructive weather. ...OH yes they do!!!! parts of Australia were under ICE in the Pleistocene Epoch around 17,000 years ago...the worlds weather has never been stable its ALWAYS had volatile swings....what caused Australia to heat up?...the bow and arrow industry?

I was a farmer in 1976 and yes it was very dry but I can't remember the temperatures. What was unique about it in my lifetime (65 years as an adult) was the length of the drought. We farmed on the Cotswolds so had light soil that needed rain but we had none for 3 months. The whole grain harvest was completed in June as it just died in the fields. In a normal year we had barely started before the end of June. The "experts" on the media confidently told us that it would happen every year after that. 1977 was one of the coldest and wettest on record! The current dry spell is following a very cold and wet start to May and it seems likely to return to normal (20-22 degrees) by Monday so only 4-5 really hot days.

1976 was the year QPR was runner-up in Division One. Their star player was Stanley Bowles.
|
|
By:
Great team so I was told, Rodney Marsh too
|
|
By:
Was Marsh not Man City?
|
|
By:
He went there after they had Gerry Francis also.
I saw Bowles in a bookies in Brentford, well dressed in a suit, he said to a bloke, “put a score on this for me and I’ll sort you out the doe!” The horse lost and he got up and walked out!  |

Gerry Francis, the capitano. Another very, very good player.
Alan Devonshire, then of West Ham, popped into a 'billie' shop in Horn Lane, Acton, in the afternoon to watch a doggie race. This 'billie' shop was right opposite a friend who was a coal merchant and business partner of Mr Merson's dad, placed numerous bets for Mr Merson on credit. The manager of Arsenal then was Mr Graham; Mr Wenger was no nonsense though. |

rockin horse brain well-named. rapid. not over thousands of years. and whats the inference? becuase it was cold once this is evidence that the whole charade has been cobbled together by a giant coalition of discredited boffins who have convinced every govt. and institution to join in?
is that it? |

Temperatures will wax and wane for millenia, nothing we do will change that, fossil fuels will deplete anyway and be unavailable in 100 years, at that point renewables will be much advanced and take up the slack, all a worry over nothing, what does concern me is plastic polluting all the oceans and how we dispose of our waste, we need to focus on that.

He was Impossible and it’s a small world!
My aunt lived off of Horn Lane and I know that bookies! She sold up for over a million! A place in Acton! And Alan Devonshire used to go to a small independent Bookies in Perivale when visiting his dad who lived there. |

If fossil fuels will run out,why milk the last of them.
Just change now,the reason is the fossil fuel companies want to squeeze ever last bit of profit out of them,and they fund the politicians who allow it to continue. The climate change could be cyclical,but the world as advanced so much,that’s it’s just strange timing. The biggest short term weather problems are wars. When Covid happened and seas were calm,heat wave ,no storms, Bombing Croatia,and recently Iran hits the tectonic plates,wobbles the earth,swills the seas,creates storms. But no of us will be affected,plus they ll adapt when it happens. But why not just change cos it’s clearly better than oil,coal,etc. |

I wonder why everyone can quote 1976? Could it be that it stood out like a sore thumb, and nobody expected it was going to happen every year? Obviously, even then it didn't hit 35° in spring.
The people who moan these days are those that think 15° is cold. Even winter's these days are not cold for any notable length of time, and you rarely get snow. We get a lot more significant heat, far more torrential rain, and far stronger winds, none of which are great news. |

Small world indeed. Next to the bookie was a law firm. Now, the place esp North Acton has changed. Its rejuvenation is unbelievable. About a month ago I was on the Tube to get some Borma baklawa from Patchi in North Acton. I'd barely recognised the new buildings. Everything was clean and modern.
Central Middlesex Hospital is lot bigger, cleaner and nicer; Asda is still there; McVitie (?). But, the roads eg Minerva, Standard, etc, are still as narrow as bamboo. Mr David Suchet lived in a big detached house just off Horn Lane in Acton too. I can only remember Acacia Road now. |
|
By:
Not been back in years now, driving down the A40 last time I couldn’t believe all the new buildings that had popped up!
I recall you saying that you liked Baklawa when you saw that horse running in the French Guineas! They tore down lots of South Acton estate which was a hotbed for agro. My friend was from there and you wouldn’t want to walk through it on your own! Sean Connery lived in a detached by Acton park! Kate Moss bought a place in the Bush, it’s all change. |

Where is S Acton estate? You do not mean White City estate, do you? I was living on St Dunstans Ave for a brief period in the early 80's. I remember a Sunlight Linen place in S Acton which did the laundry for hotels and hospitals.
|
|
By:
It’s was over the back of the high street, behind McDonalds.
White City was by QPR’s ground we spoke about it before, the Pub there The GENERAL Smutts is now a Mosque. |
|
By:
I think that was where Sunlight Linen was. That area was dodgy. I bought a Vauxhall Cavalier in the car yard under the bridge on Acton High Street. There was also a Chinese Supermarket close to a Kwik Save further up towards White city estate.
I must try to drive over there before I kick the bucket to reminisce. |

By:
Yes you have too! I’ll have to also as I had many a fun day over there!  |

The Great Drought of 1540: Frequently cited in historical chronicles as the "Big Sun Year". Europe experienced extreme, continuous heat and drought for up to 11 months, with major rivers like the Seine and the Rhine reportedly running so dry that people could walk across them.

You don’t want temperatures like these anymore!!
Keep giving us your cash!!!!! And still the sheeple believe these liars and grifters. Back to rain next week….. And they can blame that on the climate change rubbish because temperatures are below normal! Bring back the acid rain and ozone layer damage lies again. |
