I lived in Newfoundland for a couple of years and I have to say that the UK is a bit useless when it comes to a bit of bad weather. But I also think that any environmental changes we have will be slow enough for us to cope with. If not, I don't mind, everyone will stay in and I can have the countryside to myself <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I loved being in Newf' and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to get used to a harsher climate. Hey, 25 years ago we used to get snowed in every year in Southern England and the North was even worse, maybe we will just return to the good old days!
