Do you really never get snow there? I thought it was damp and kind of cold there all the time. I'm not well travelled though. Well, not across the pond anyway. I bet London was beautiful under a blanket of snow. I've always thought New York was beautiful when it snowed. It hides all the grime. lol. I live in the appalachian mountains so I see more snow than I want. I'm surrounded by ski slopes. I think there are 5 in my immediate area. I like it here, though. I usually like the people too. I've just been consorting with the wrong ones.

Like me lovely bryn.......I prefer to think of london with bob cratchitt, and tiny tim and streets fullof snow.......oh but then i want to head around the corner to picadilly and see edie sedgewick types muckering about amidst psychedelia everywhere with red phone booths and double decker buses..........then i want it to be like peter pan and fly across the rooftops, past big ben and the palace and all...............probably not a good thing if i ever do get to visit, would be quite disallusioned I'm sure ;-)
Robbie,
I was down in London Tuesday, I'd left snow and it was minus a thousand degrees in Liverpool. I get to London and I'm so hot I have to buy a pushy bag to stick my coat and jumpers in. I meet up with some Londoner friends who are complaining about the cold. They think I'm hard and a bit nuts cuz I have no coat.
Today I leave Liverpool for St James's pakt because we've got an away game and boy oh boy it was minus ten thousand and the wind and rain were arctic. They nearly cancelled the game and half the Newcastle lot were in T-shirts now that is hard.
love
karen

When I think of London, I think of Dicken,s novels. Our mutual friend, The Pickwick Papers. And on the other hand, I think of Johnny Rotten and the old Beatles adn Procol Harum. I guess I'd expect to see a bunch of rockers living in the debtors prison and eating fish&chips. Ha! Ha! I hope I haven't offended anyone. I love Dickens. I read his books over and over.

I grew up in London, and before global warming kicked in we used to get thick snow every winter. I loved it! My dad built us tobaggans and we'd go out to the biggest hill we could find and I'd sit on my dads knee and we'd fly off down the hill. Somebody put a big log halfway down and we'd get air! No joke, and these toboggans were heavy wooden ones, when fully laden they musta weighed about 100 kilos! People would even ski down that hill. And it was great on school days too, coz my best mates mum would walk us to school on snowy days and walk us home as she went to work. She was a dinner lady at the local comp, so we'd get to school about 11am and she'd pick us up at about 2, so we'd get in just in time for lunch and come home just after! Happy days!
