Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
I'm convinced that much of the 'padding' that gets built into reports is there simply to bulk it up so that people give up reading it. Pendle Council are past masters at this. The recent Colne's Neighbourhood Plan Consultation has pages devoted to the history of Colne and other side issues that don'...

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Given the drive a wipe over again. The only thawing is the tarmac that has been exposed. Any snow that has been underfoot and crushed has turned to ice.

Re: TIZER'S SCIENCE NEWS
Ian, some years ago it was proposed to put a conventional mast near my friends house about 70 yards away. Along with the proposal was a graph showing the radiation intensity. Surprisingly the intensity increased to a maximum at about 50 yards then dissipated again as one would expect. At that time s...

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
The government is acting on what they think will please the electorate and not what the evidence dictates is the best course. It must be a very narrow band of electorate. The government is still giving preference to the economy which you can't blame them for that but is still leaning towards protec...

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
600 ft is about the normal snow level. Another 1 inch dropped last night and some light stuff coming down as I write. Roads have been gritted and has turned them into a horrible brown slush. Ideal for turning your car into rust. Answer is. Stop in.

See...as a woman...I would just clear two tracks...for the wheels
Exactly. and being a smart a.se I started at the top for both tracks pushing the snow downhill. Stopped to admire the view 15 times then got pelted by some kids who used the piles of snow as an ammunition supply.

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Nice bit of sunshine and made the mistake of clearing the snow from the drive. 40 yards long and a bit on the steep side. Nearly put my lights out. I was intending to go out tomorrow but if it snows again tonight the bloody stuff can stop there and I shall stop in until it thaws. That'll teach it. :...

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
We're at 700 ft level, a lot less than Wendy. 2 to 3 inches of snow and crunchy icy underneath. No sign of thawing yet. Not on a main road just the Barrowford rat run so gritting may be a little behind the rest of them. Take care when you do go out.

Got a good hour and half in the garden while it was fine but draw the line about using electrical power tools when its raining. Too many of these volts and amps knocking about for my liking. May play in the garage for a hour instead.
