Hard winter ahead!

Just had a thought about this cold trend, I bought my boat 3 years ago and went out to sea every weekend (almost) from December till April and it was quite comfortable in an open boat (also caught loads of cod). Off the east anglian coast.
What was it like where you were (open question)?

 

Went to Holkham show a few years ago and some of the lads had put a portaloo on top of the police exhibition trailer and a sign saying the "TURDIS"

 

HAVE we run out of cod???

 

I hope we are not highjacking this thread but I think people misunderstand the effect of pleasure angling and comercial trawlers. To keep it simple, if I lived to be 300 years old i wouldn't catch 1% of the fish these factory ships throw back dead every day.

Also quotation from link above.

But a revival of certain species has given fishermen some breathing space. There will be a 53 per cent increase in the amount of haddock that can be caught and a 30 per cent increase for North Sea prawns. And calls for a ban on fishing for cod and hake in the North Sea were swept asideBut a revival of certain species has given fishermen some breathing space.

No doubt I am like HarryS

It was chucking it down one holiday, so I went to buy a plastic pac a mac
as I believe in you get what you pay for, instead of the 99p platic bag type
I paid £20 for the heavy quality pac a mac the rain stopped one hour later never to return

I am truly sorry about the summer Folks
I bought a green house

Anyone remember 1650 ?

5 yrs ago, the same plonkers or maybe a few different plonkers were proclaiming that in 30yrs Britain would be a desert.

It makes newspapers sell, and if its on U Tube it must be right, I guess.

 

I am not a religious person but after working the land for 23 years and working another 20 outside I have become a firm beleiver in the old saying "7 years feast (warm) and 7 years famine (cold) and I think (within a little, give or take the odd year) this theory has stood the test of time.
I can remember a spell about 25 years ago when we had the back door and windows open for Christmas dinner because it was so warm.
Probably with some reflection some of the senior members of the forum will recall these trends in the weather patterns.
