(snip reluctant fabulous rant)

I know i have had my rant but feel we really need to get back to black and
white so we all know where we stand,there is so much bullshit in this
country.


Thought of this last night. I tuck myself in with a new mag (for me at
least) Garden Illustrated. Every article are all about saving water
and drought tolerant plants. Now, apart from what you've said and said
it loud and clear and right, what we read must have been written two
years ago surely!! Frankly it's totally out of tune with what's
happening ...

Problem is that these forecasts are just guesses, now the "experts" have
decided the ice caps will not melt after all!
