This awful weather is driving me nuts! Up here in Bolton it's either
raining or snowing; the soil is either frozen or sodden, and the forecast is
for much of the same. I ventured onto my allotment yesterday and almost
lost my boots to the mud! All this talk of hosepipe bans "dahn sahf" is

Cheer yourself up, Go out and laugh at the Muslims. It always cheers
