Re: weather

Re: weather

Nope, Manchester. Both Bristol and Manchester are superficially drab, but they've got a lot of personality. How about you - thoroughbred Devoner?

Re: weather

True - there are some lovely parks even in the centre, and great places for pub grub as soon as you venture into the surrounding countryside. A city that's passionate about good beer & cider, too...none of this imported tasteless lager!

Ah, cool - spitting distance from Ilfracombe then. Can imagine it's lovely this time of year...beats Bristol hands down I'll bet!

Re: weather

Bristol, UK (close enough to wave to Danny, by the sound of it!) - 14 degrees and beautifully sunny. It's what you'd call tropical, but it's certainly lovely :)

Re: Hung Parliment.

I'd be much happier with either of them than Osbourne. Tough call though...Clarke's led us through a recession before & Cable has a very strong economics background. It's reassuring to see them in the same cabinet, that's for sure.

Re: Hung Parliment.

The only way to get Britain out of this complete mess is for a true Conservative government to take control. A chancellor with an background in economics would be a good start!

Re: Hung Parliment.

Nope! Normally I'd go lib dem, but I couldn't stomach voting for any of the major 3 parties this time around as all their policies were so vague. I voted Green in the end...partly as a protest vote of sorts, partly because I respect their ethics and partly because I agree broadly with their science ...

Re: Hung Parliment.

Cameron as PM? Osbourne as chancellor?

Time to emigrate I think!
