Re: CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING

It all sounds a bit too cut and dried to me as well David. If only the response to climate change was as easy as that......

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

Damp flags were evidence of rain during the night. It's still windy and dry but I think with more cloud. T...

All I know is that it was made by Parker Hale in Birmingham and it was something to do with allowing for wind in the aiming of target rifles. Well done. Now we need another object.

Re: DIALECT AND WORD MEANINGS

I tripped over this word this morning. Never seen it before.
Thalassophobia is an intense phobia or fear of large or deep water. If you have thalassophobia, you may be afraid of the ocean, sea, and large lakes. Some people may deal with a little anxiety about the ocean.
