    Met office "faking" climate data

    Surely there is no higher authority on this subject than the words of the almighty Bob Dylan's Subterannean Homesick Blues. Altogether now... Keep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes You don’t need a weatherman To know which way the wind blows

    Swedish preparedness pamphlet

    Hi Glow. Am very interested in this. I often wonder if people could see both wars coming or whether we are wiser with the benefit of hindsight. What contemporary literature do you refer to/recomend in your post above? Cheers

    Music

    If that flippin' Segovia came round my tent and started messing with the guylines on my tent, I'd say ' NO ANDRES!!- you may have made musical history by being the first musician to put the classical guitar on the map by being the first to record Rodrigo's Concerto De Aranjuez,and you may have...

    Is a psk really needed in the UK?

    I How do you like this umbrella? Which situations do you use it for? I like the idea of using something like this hands free when I am hiking but of course you can't use it if it's too windy.I imagine the hands free kit is not perfect. I know EuroSchirm makes a hands free harness and Six moons...

    Air pistol for Squirrels?

    https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/45/section/4 as people have pointed out it is also about preventing un -necessary suffering. i.e humane dispatch.

    Air pistol for Squirrels?

    I would get advice from a professional qualified pest controller. A quick phone call would answer a lot of questions.

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    The only winner in all this is the newspaper that reported this and the social media platforms that benefit from the clicks and shares.

    Spiritual connection to nature

    I think this is a great place to be mentally-totally in the moment-not thinking of the past and not worrying about the future.

    Farmer sprays cyclist wild camper.

    very sad. we are all human beings. this article in the Sun newspaper just wants to perpetuate the idea of conflict between people. Who knows whether the farmer or the camper are in the right. there are always 3 sides to any argument-mine, yours and the truth. Lets have more media reports about...

    Woolly Pully vs Fleece vs Ranger Shirt as Mid-Layer?

    wooly jumper would be my choice but the fit must be comfortable to go with what else you are wearing and only you can decide what is a comfy fit. I prefer inset sleeves ( more fitted-easier under coats or other garments. Alternatively raglan sleeves are more roomy but I find they bunch up and...

    Green energy :D

    I agree, using less is never discussed in the media. The more we find the more we use and that is not the answer in my most humble opinion.
