Well if that is true it would be good, but a pinch of salt might be required

A pinch of salt Simon? Really, ye of little faith!

Anyway, I've checked with Ayse, and he's confirmed it, wall to wall sunshine and not a drop of r*** this year...

James is absolutely correct. No salt involved at all. Make sure you pack plenty of suncream and a floppy hat. It's going to be sooooo sunny....

No, I have it on good authority that James is only packing shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and a hat!

I do hope you are right James - however it seems over the years whatever the first long range forecast 'inaccuweather' say the reality is usually the opposite!

My dear LM friends, do not worry I know for a fact it is going to be a warm one this year. After all those years, I believe it was 2005 finally a hot one.
Thank you James for starting the thread, as I was far to busy with work and driving my 95 GT2 winner, I completly forget to start it 4 weeks in advance.
Remember all, the R... word is not allowed and Ayse will punisch you if you use it.

not sure anyone outside of the uk has ever heard of winkles andrew, for those that have not heard of then they are a small shelled sea mollusc eaten by some people on this island that are boiled and then pulled out of their shell using sharp pins, not to everyones taste, the english equivalent of those horrid red french sausages

Simon, If I don't make a mistake, we call them BIGORNEAU . We eat them with a slice of bread and salted butter or mayonnaise. MIAM!!!!
