Back in those days fewer people had cars. As a consequence most lived within walking distance of their work and schools or used public transport. Only main routes were salted then as now but nobody found that a great problem. These days teachers can have problems getting to school and there is no point opening if a sizeable proportion of the staff won't be there on time.

There is some possible benefit in that there is less time for the children to be indoctrinated with woke lefty nonsense by the woke lefty teachers. Unfortunstely that continues while learning to read and write suffers. That doesn't matter these days as they will still be able to go to university and get their advanced indoctrination.

The recent hot weather was a problem for most here for a  couple of linked reasons. High humidity combined with being old so less able to cope with that.

I've seen suggestions that we will be having more quite hot weather for a couple of months at least. The technical term used by metereologists for this is summer ☀️

Fly him over there and just drop him out of the aeroplane - minus parachute - problem solved.

Why are we still sending them aid anyway? They've been 'independent' since 1947 - they should be self supporting by now.

What a country of whimps we have become .

Quote from: Alex on June 30, 2026, 08:22:06 PMHas anyone seen this film ?  It was on Twitter and Facebook but has been taken down.  Apparently it's now on You Tube, not sure about Prime..  The German-produced action-thriller, directed by Uwe Boll, sees Armie Hammer play a businessman who turns into a vigilante, targeting violent criminals, rapists, and corrupt judges.

Released earlier this month, the film has drawn criticism for its extreme violence and alleged anti-immigration stance. Germany refused to grant it a rating, effectively banning its release within the country.

I have not Alex but I have looked for it becaue I wanted to see it .
Apparantly it was   banned so Elon Musk put it on x for 48 hours free to anyone .
I was too late to see it .

Quote from: Mups on June 30, 2026, 10:11:09 PMNot sure its a case of us not being resilient, Muddy,  its more a case of us not being a naturally hot country like they are,  so we are not naturally geared up for it.

It's like how would Singapore suddenly cope with heavy snow and thick ice.  They would no doubt struggle,  same as anywhere does with extremes they are not used to.

We are not good with snow and ice either .
Everytime we have snow in winter schools seem to close yet as a child I don't recall my school closing for anything .

I should have kept the joke i saw.

I always check the advisories they show before films.  If there aren't any its going to be good for a snooze.
